2024 Fantasy Outlook
A fourth-round pick in 2023, Haener was suspended the first six games last season and still is awaiting his NFL debut. That could come this season. With Jameis Winston off to Cleveland, Haener is the favorite to back up fellow Fresno State alum Derek Carr in New Orleans. He’ll compete with journeyman Nathan Peterman and rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler. Undersized at 6-1, 200, Haener doesn’t possess elite traits and has only adequate arm strength, but he gets the ball out quickly, showed good anticipation in college and is plenty athletic. Taysom Hill is still around as the gadget guy, but if Carr misses time, Haener likely will take the reins. Read Past Outlooks

Likely backing up Carr in Week 9
Haener is expected to serve as the Saints' No. 2 quarterback behind Derek Carr (oblique) in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 fourth-round pick out of Fresno State took over for Spencer Rattler midway through the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Haener completed nine of his 17 pass attempts for 122 yards while adding 10 rushing yards on two carries in Week 8, and it now appears that performance was enough for him to secure New Orleans' top backup quarterback role from Rattler moving forward.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Haener was the first quarterback selected on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, as he was widely considered an instinctual, tough passer primarily limited by his stature (6-1, 200). He balanced production with efficiency at Fresno State, accumulating a 67:17 TD:INT, and he completed at least 65 percent of his passes in each of his three seasons as a starter. With Derek Carr now in town as QB1 and Taysom Hill available as a dual-threat option, Haener profiles as a developmental project who may compete with backup Jameis Winston after the latter agreed to a restructured contract in the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to start
Haener is viewed as unlikely to replace Derek Carr as the Saints' starting quarterback, The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Carr will be sidelined for at least New Orleans' Week 6 matchup against Tampa Bay. Although Haener entered Monday's loss to Kansas City in relief of Carr, rookie Spencer Rattler is viewed as the favorite to start against the Bucs. Reportedly, the Saints hope to see if Rattler has the potential to be the team's franchise quarterback, and if he does not, they plan to set themselves up to use a first-round selection on the position in the 2025 NFL Draft.
