• Saints' Spencer Rattler: Getting work in at OTAs

  05/28/2026 • By RotoWire

  Rattler (finger) is participating during the Saints' OTAs, John Sigler of USA Today reports. 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.

• Saints' Spencer Rattler: Unavailable Week 18

  01/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Rattler (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. 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.

• Saints' Spencer Rattler: Questionable for Sunday

  01/02/2026 • By RotoWire

  Rattler (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports. Rattler has been fulfilling his role as the Saints' backup quarterback since rookie Tyler Shough was named the starter for Week 9 and beyond. The backup has not practiced since Week 16 due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand, which has left the Saints with just Taysom Hill healthy as a depth option as they end the season. Rattler's inability to practice with the injury for consecutive weeks means Hill could potentially play a role at quarterback in Sunday's contest if Shough were to need to leave the game for any reason.

• Saints' Spencer Rattler: Status as starter uncertain

  10/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that the team is still evaluating the quarterback position ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Rams in Week 9, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Rattler was benched for rookie second-rounder Tyler Shough late in the third quarter of New Orleans' 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 8, though neither signal-caller had much success moving the ball on offense. Moore will likely want to give whomever of Rattler or Shough will start Sunday against Los Angeles a full week of practice, so a decision on the team's No. 1 quarterback for Week 9 likely will arrive prior to Wednesday. Neither boasts much fantasy appeal, especially in single-QB formats.

• Saints' Spencer Rattler: Benched after two turnovers Sunday

  10/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rattler completed 15 of 21 pass attempts for 136 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while gaining 12 yards and losing a fumble on three carries in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Rattler was benched late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss following a pair of first-half turnovers and just three points scored. Rookie backup Tyler Shough didn't fare much better in relief, completing 56.7 percent of his pass attempts for 128 yards and an interception of his own. It will be interesting to see if Sunday's change was permanent or just a failed attempt to shake things up in Week 8. Neither signal-caller projects as a high-upside fantasy option against the Rams next Sunday.
