"Rattler beat out rookie Tyler Shough and will be the Saints' Week 1 starting quarterback. Rattler - a 2024 fifth-round pick - appeared in seven games as a rookie and did not show particularly well. He completed 57% of his passes, averaged 5.8 yards per attempt (both are very poor) and managed four TDs and five INTs. He did add a bit with his legs (146 yards), but that wasn't enough to allow a single 15-point fantasy outing. The 24-year-old is unlikely to hang on to the starting job all season and is well off the fantasy radar."

"After a 1-7 start to the season, the Saints are opting for a change under center after Rattler beat out Shough, a rookie second-round pick out of Louisville, for the starting job coming out of the preseason. Despite a lackluster supporting cast, Rattler was reasonably efficient as a passer over his eight starts (68 percent completion rate, 6.2 yards per attempt), but he had been mistake-prone over his last two outings. In just over six and a half quarters of football in losses to the Bears and Buccaneers, Rattler took seven sacks, threw four interceptions and lost two fumbles. Unlike the undersized Rattler, Shough (6-foot-5, 219 pounds) offers an ideal frame as a pocket passer and solid arm strength to match it, but his lack of mobility and poor accuracy could render him a less interesting fantasy option."

"McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September."
