Link to story Saints | Spencer Rattler named the starting QB in New Orleans Tue Aug 26, 02:57 PM
The Saints have made a QB decision, as they have announced that Spencer Rattler will be their Week 1 starter.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Kellen Moore has praised the work done by second-rounder Tyler Shough, who now heads to the bench. Asked why he went with Rattler, Moore said, "He's just been consistent. He's made some really good decisions throughout this whole process, and his ability to make plays with his arm and his feet has certainly shown up." Rattler started six games for the Saints and played in seven of them. He threw for 1,317 yards, four touchdowns, five interceptions, and completed 57 percent of his passes. He'll obviously need to fare well keep Shough on the bench. |

Saints | Five players let go Mon Aug 25, 02:04 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Cam Akers was released Monday, Aug. 25. The team also waived WR Roderick Daniels Jr., WR Moochie Dixon, TE Seth Green and TE Michael Jacobson.
| Footballguys view: Akers, a 2020 second-round draft pick, signed with the Saints in June and has been competing for a backup spot behind Alvin Kamara. "NFL a crazy place," Akers wrote on X on Monday, adding a crying face emoji to his post. The Saints have not finalized their 53-man roster, but currently have Kamara, Kendre Miller, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Devin Neal, Marcus Yarns, and Velus Jones Jr. in their running back room. Miller has emerged as the primary backup to Kamara. |

Saints | No starter at QB for Saints yet Mon Aug 25, 12:46 PM
New Orleans Saints QBs Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough continue to battle for the starting quarterback position Monday, Aug. 25.
| Footballguys view: Rattler started two preseason games, including the finale, and Shough, the team's second-round pick in April's draft, got the other one. Jake Haener is listed alongside them on the team's unofficial depth chart, but signs point to Rattler or Shough getting the nod whenever Kellen Moore decides to put an end to the competition. After Saturday's game, Shough said that he believes he's shown what's needed to claim the job. Rattler said he has "no doubt" that he's ready for the starting job. Whatever the case, it shouldn't be long until we find out which way the Saints are going. |

Link to story Saints | NO expected to name starting QB soon Sun Aug 24, 09:30 AM
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore plans to decide whether QB Spencer Rattler or QB Tyler Shough will be the team's starting quarterback during the upcoming week.
| Footballguys view: This is as bad as it looks on the surface. The indecision isn't because both quarterbacks have played so well and both deserve to start. It could still be ok for Alvin Kamara, who will catch a ton of checkdown passes. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are also going at deep discounts which might be overestimating just how much the quarterback situation will affect their values this year. No matter how you cut it for fantasy, the Saints have the worst quarterback situation in the league. |
Saints | Devin Neal could make team Fri Aug 22, 04:20 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) has a good chance to make the 53-man roster even though he is dealing with a hamstring injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
Link to story Saints | Donovan Peoples-Jones off roster Thu Aug 21, 01:51 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Donovan Peoples-Jones was released Thursday, Aug. 21.
| Footballguys view: The Saints traded with the Broncos for Devaughn Vele, so they had to make room for him on the roster. Peoples-Jones is a seasoned veteran with size, so perhaps some team will take a look at him later in the year. |

Saints | Spencer Rattler to start preseason finale Thu Aug 21, 01:42 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Spencer Rattler will be the starting quarterback for the final preseason game, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: The Saints are the final team in the NFL to announce their starting quarterback. With Rattler starting this preseason finale he seems to be the front-runner for the job. The Saints quarterback situation squelches our excitement for the pass-catchers in New Orleans. |

Saints | Kendre Miller pushing for No. 2 role Mon Aug 18, 12:01 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller rushed six times for 21 yards during the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, Aug. 17, and Bobby Kownack of NFL.com believes Miller is the frontrunner to serve as RB Alvin Kamara's backup.
| Footballguys view: Miller has looked flashy this preseason. As Kownack noted, the second-year back's offensive line did him no favors against Jacksonville. Nonetheless, Miller kept his legs pumping and fell forward on almost every occasion. He also looked reminiscent of vintage Kamara on a 13-yard pickup that required him to dance through and around traffic. Health -- not talent -- has always been Miller's primary obstacle. The Saints desperately need an RB2 to spell Kamara after failing to establish one last year. If he stays on the field, Miller could be just that. |

New Orleans Saints CB Alontae Taylor (groin), expected to start at right cornerback, missed the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Link to story Saints | Tyler Shough to start Sunday Sat Aug 16, 02:44 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough will be the starting quarterback for the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: The Saints added Shough in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the idea that he could be the starter as a rookie. He spent seven years playing college football for three different teams but only has one full year as a starter (Louisville, 2024). Shough suffered three major injuries during his time as a collegian, but if healthy he's got a prototypical skill set. However, Shough does tend to make more errors under pressure as he relies on his arm strength too much. We'll see if he can impress and beat out Spencer Rattler for the starting job in Week 1. |

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 15-of-22 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his preseason debut against the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Shough probably outplayed Spencer Rattler, but overall this wasn't an uplifting performance by the quarterbacks. The Saints main offensive pieces still carry a big discount because the second round rookie Shough, or last year's fifth round pick Spencer Rattler will open the season against the Cardinals. |
