2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler had first-round hype early in his college career, but he never matched the promise of a 28-TD season for Oklahoma in 2020, and ultimately landed in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He made six starts as a rookie, losing all six games while averaging just 5.8 YPA and throwing more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four). Rattler was in a terrible situation, playing behind a supbar offensive line and without the Saints' top two receivers, but it's nonetheless difficult to draw positives from such a brutally bad stat line. He may get another shot to compere for the starting job anyway, as the Saints otherwise are left with 2025 second-round pick Tyler Shough and 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener after Derek Carr announced his retirement in May.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.36 million contract with the Saints in May of 2024.
Unavailable Week 18
Rattler (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Rattler continues to deal with a thumb injury to his throwing hand and will be in street clothes for the Saints' regular-season finale. Rattler started the first eight games of the season, completing 68 percent of his passes for 1,586 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. However, he was benched in favor of Tyler Shough, who has outperformed expectations thus far, leaving Rattler's future with New Orleans uncertain.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler was the third selection of the Saints in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he's likely in the cards for the team's future plans at quarterback. However, the fifth-round pick will immediately contend for the backup role behind starting signal-caller Derek Carr. With Jameis Winston gone to Cleveland, Rattler will contend with journeyman Nathan Peterman and 2021 fourth-round pick Jake Haener, the latter of whom has yet to make his NFL debut. Rattler started his collegiate career with high expectations at Oklahoma before losing his job to Caleb Williams in 2021, and he finished with a 19:8 TD:INT at South Carolina in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Demoted from top job
Rattler, who started each of the Saints' first eight games of the season, was demoted from the No. 1 job Tuesday in favor of rookie Tyler Shough, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rattler was pulled for Shough during the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Buccaneers in the latter portion of the third quarter, and the demotion is now officially for the rest of the regular season as long as the rookie signal-caller's health sustains. Rattler was serviceable in terms of numbers by completing 68.0 percent of his passes for 1,568 yards with an 8:5 TD:INT and a 31-167-0 rushing line, and he'll take 15 games of regular-season experience with him to the bench.
