Saints' Spencer Rattler: Expected to remain in New Orleans
The Saints have received interest in Rattler but aren't planning to trade him, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Rattler had an uneven first two NFL campaigns, making 14 starts in 16 regular-season contests and completing 62.7 percent of his pass attempts for 2,903 yards with a 12:10 TD:INT. He began last year as New Orleans' No. 1 QB but gave way to Tyler Shough after the team compiled a 1-7 record across its first eight games. Shough ran away with the job and is entering the upcoming campaign with a strong hold on top signal-caller role, which theoretically could make Rattler expendable. However, it appears the Saints want to keep Rattler as an insurance policy behind Shough, as Rattler would be in a good position to take over at QB if needed given his extensive opportunities over the past two years. Rattler's fantasy value in redraft leagues is almost non-existent given his backup role, and even if Shough were to go down with an injury, Rattler likely wouldn't be a hot pickup in most formats given his inconsistent play in the NFL so far.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Likely does enough to hold off Wilson
Rattler completed eight of 10 passes for 79 yards while rushing twice for nine yards and a touchdown in Friday's 27-24 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Rattler started the preseason finale and played the first half. He had a similar passing stat line Friday to Zach Wilson, with whom Rattler is competing for the second spot on the QB depth chart, but Rattler scored an eight-yard touchdown with his legs while neither player threw a touchdown pass. Rattler started two of the Saints' three preseason games, sandwiched around one Wilson start. It looks like the Saints' 2024 fifth-round pick has the slight edge over the Jets' 2021 second overall selection in the battle to back up Tyler Shough, though an official determination on that front has yet to be made.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Throws pick-six in Saturday's loss
Rattler completed 14 of 23 passes for 141 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 21 yards during the Saints' 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday.
Rattler was the Saints' starter in the team's preseason opener against the Jaguars, but Zach Wilson had that honor for Saturday's game in Los Angeles, with Tyler Shough observing the game in street cloths. Rattler opened the second half with a steady series to lead the Saints into the red zone, only for his pass intended for Treyton Welch to be intercepted off by Al'zillion Hamilton, who returned it for a 100-yard pick-six. Rattler was able to get the Saints back into the red zone twice more in the second half, but neither drive ended in points for New Orleans. Given the inconsistency of Wilson and Rattler between the Saints' first two exhibition games, the backup job behind Tyler Shough appears to be up in the air heading into Friday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Uneven performance in preseason start
Rattler went 8-for-11 on pass attempts for 42 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in a preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday.
Rattler's completion percentage was fine, but he averaged only 3.8 yards per attempt, and his longest completion went for just nine yards. He also was sacked twice, with one sack resulting in a lost fumble, and all of his completions came on his final drive of the game during the second quarter. Tyler Shough, who is projected to start behind center for New Orleans this season, didn't play, and Zach Wilson had arguably the most impressive QB performance for the Saints on Saturday by completing 11 of 16 pass attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown. Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, New Orleans is expected to play mostly backups again next Saturday versus the Rams in the team's second preseason contest, so Rattler may have another chance to start and potentially make a positive impression.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Draws Saturday preseason start
Rattler will start Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars, per Saints head coach Kellen Moore.
Rattler will get the first opportunity to make his case for the backup role behind Tyler Shough. Zach Wilson is competing for the second spot on the Saints' quarterback depth chart as well, and New Orleans also has Hunter Dekkers in the QB room. Rattler and Wilson are likely to both see plenty of preseason action as the Saints sort out their backup QB situation.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Competing for backup role
Ratller will be competing with Zach Wilson throughout training camp and potentially beyond to determine the No. 2 quarterback role for the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Rattler lost the 2025 starting job to rookie first-round pick Tyler Shough halfway through the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Buccaneers. The quarterback remained in a reserve role for the team and is clearly liked by the organization, but the signing of three-year Jets starter Zach Wilson leaves Rattler's role up in the air. There is always the possibility the team retains three quarterbacks on the active roster (as they did in 2025), but only one will be the No. 2 option.

Saints' Spencer Rattler: Getting work in at OTAs
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
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
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.
