2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler opened last season as New Orleans’ starting quarterback, guiding the team to a 1-7 record while completing 67.7 percent of his passes for 1,586 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions before eventually being benched in favor of 2025 second-rounder Tyler Shough. Shough capitalized on his opportunities down the stretch and is locked in for the starting role in 2026, leaving Rattler to battle free-agent addition Zach Wilson for backup duties. If Rattler secures the No. 2 job, he has enough starting experience to function as a capable fill-in, particularly with New Orleans bolstering its offense this offseason by adding RB Travis Etienne and rookie first-round WR Jordyn Tyson.

Getting work in at OTAs
Rattler (finger) is participating during the Saints' OTAs, John Sigler of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Rattler was inactive for New Orleans' season finale at Atlanta back in January due to a finger injury, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for him any longer. He'll be competing with Zach Wilson for the backup quarterback spot behind 2025 second-rounder Tyler Shough in 2026.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade target for Denver?
Rattler could be traded well ahead of the Nov. 3 deadline, and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com believes the Broncos would be a team to watch if the 2024 fifth-round quarterback were to be available.
ANALYSIS
Rattler won the Saints' starting quarterback job in training camp and started in New Orleans' first eight games of the 2025 season, but he was eventually supplanted by 2025 sixth-rounder Tyler Shough, the latter of whom is firmly entrenched as the team's starter for the upcoming season. Zach Wilson was signed by the Saints in late March, which could make the team more willing to move on from Rattler before or during the regular season. Graziano lists the Broncos as a team that could be interested in acquiring Rattler, given head coach Sean Payton's ties to the Saints. If that trade were to take place, then Rattler would contend against Jarrett Stidham for the backup job behind Bo Nix.
