2025 Projections
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.
Opens camp with starters
Rattler got most of the first-team reps Wednesday on the first day of training camp, but rookie Tyler Shough is scheduled to work with the starters Thursday, WWLAM's Jeff Nowak reports.
ANALYSIS
In other words, the Saints will treat their QB job battle as a 50-50 competition, although Shough likely has the tiebreaker given his earlier draft status (second round) and Rattler's poor numbers last season. Taken in the fifth round last spring, Rattler ended up making six starts (all losses) and completing 57.0 percent of passes for 5.8 yards per attempt, with four touchdowns and five interceptions. He played better Week 18 at Tampa Bay, but Shough nonetheless seems like at least a slight favorite for the Week 1 start under a new coaching staff.

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
First crack at first-team reps
Rattler took first-team reps during the Saints' first practice of training camp Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rattler, who made seven regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2024, will be battling rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough for the starting quarterback job this summer in the wake of Derek Carr's surprise retirement earlier this offseason. Head coach Kellen Moore confirmed the two players, and presumably third-string quarterback Jake Haener, would be rotating those opportunities with the first unit early in training camp and confirmed the coaching staff would "let the process take as long as it needs to" in reference to deciding who the starting quarterback will be.
