Shough made a lot of believers with his finishing kick last year, giving us a solid six-pack of starts to end the season (QB12, QB6, QB16, QB16, QB9, QB4). Head coach Kellen Moore is a creative schemer who runs his offense at a faster tempo, which helps the volume. Shough is working with decent pass-catchers (WR Chris Olave is a star, TE Juwan Johnson forever underrated) and the matchup should present points; the game total is posted at 50.5 (highest on the slate) and the Lions won't have impact safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph for at least a month.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Shough's late-season form and Moore's tempo scheme support upside vs. depleted Lions.

Saints QB Shough (40% rostered) finished last season strong with six consecutive starts posting QB12, QB6, QB16, QB16, QB9, QB4 finishes. Head coach Kellen Moore runs a faster-tempo offense that boosts volume; Shough has solid pass-catchers in WR Chris Olave (star) and TE Juwan Johnson (underrated). The Week 1 matchup at Detroit is favorable: game total is 50.5 (highest on the slate) and the Lions will be without impact safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph for at least a month.
