Shough got off to a slow start in the Saints' season opener in Detroit but caught fire in the second half, finishing with 410 yards and 3 touchdowns on 56 pass attempts, though he threw 2 interceptions and took 5 sacks. He was QB12 in fantasy points per game last season from Week 9 through the end of the regular season, producing at least 17.1 fantasy points in each of his last six starts. He completed 67.6% of his throws, averaged 7.3 yards per pass attempt, had 10 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions, and averaged 16.9 rushing yards per game with 3 touchdown runs. Only one of the teams he faced in his nine starts last season, the Rams, ranked inside the top 10 in defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) against the pass. Shough has shown competence early in his career, is an aggressive downfield thrower, adds rushing value, and Saints head coach Kellen Moore favors a fast-paced offense. He faces a challenging Week 2 matchup against the Ravens in Baltimore, then gets friendlier home matchups against the Raiders and Falcons. With Sam Darnold and Kyler Murray both going down in Week 1, there are fantasy managers in the market for quarterback help, especially in Superflex leagues.
