Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The rushing element is the fantasy hook: 45 carries, 3 scores, and 27 red-zone attempts give him a weekly floor that pure pocket passers lack. But a 31-sack, 19.6 percent pressure rate behind a shaky New Orleans line capped the upside, and the 6 picks flag developmental risk. Behind him on the depth chart: Spencer Rattler. Full outlook

Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB3 at 24.1 PPR points per game, against 14.9 over 11 games last season (QB26). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 21st of 41 in passing volume (29.7 attempts per game), 28th of 41 in efficiency (-0.018 EPA per play) and 20th of 41 in rushing (16.9 rush yards per game). Efficiency is the soft spot. Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele are his top two targets.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Spencer Rattler is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Shoughs rookie year offered modest promise: the 2025 second-rounder (pick 40, Louisville) played 11 games, completed 67.6 percent for 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, adding 186 rush yards and 3 scores for 158 fantasy points (QB25). The efficiency was league-average at best, with a -0.018 EPA per play, a 43.7 percent success rate, and a 10.9 percent deep-attempt rate pointing to a short, conservative passing profile.
The rushing element is the fantasy hook: 45 carries, 3 scores, and 27 red-zone attempts give him a weekly floor that pure pocket passers lack. But a 31-sack, 19.6 percent pressure rate behind a shaky New Orleans line capped the upside, and the 6 picks flag developmental risk. With a full season and continued mobility he could push toward back-end QB1 weeks. For now he is a late-round dart and a streaming option in superflex, not a set-and-forget starter.

If Shough Misses Time
Next man up: Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler is next on the Saints depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Shough managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Shough misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
