Both quarterbacks I drafted are projected to open the season as their team's Week 1 starter, and if they play well, there's a good chance they keep those jobs all year. Tyler Shough took over as the starter in Week 9 last season. From Week 10 on, he completed nearly 70% of his passes while averaging 7.7 yards per attempt. He now has the benefit of an entire offseason, training camp and preseason working with the first-team offense, giving him a chance to take his talent to the next level. Shough will be throwing to Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson and Travis Etienne Jr., with Alvin Kamara in the backfield, and Kellen Moore orchestrating a fast-paced offense.
