Just a year ago, the New Orleans Saints didn't present any truly exciting fantasy football options. Fast forward to present day, and this could be a sneaky-fun team to own shares in.
Tyler Shough is quietly on the rise. Chris Olave had a fantastic year in 2025 and now gets a running mate in first-round pick Jordyn Tyson. The constantly-overlooked and underrated Juwan Johnson is still a viable receiving threat at tight end.
And then, you have the back field.

Latest Fantasy Football updates for the Saints: News, injuries and position battles
Chris Olave holding in to start training camp -- 7/29
Olave is in the midst of wanting a new contract as he enters his fifth year. He took part in individual drills but sat out the 7-on-7 portion, per Saints beat reporter Ross Jackson. This is only Day 1, so it isn't worrisome -- yet. If we get a couple of weeks in, then angst will start to build.
Jordyn Tyson 'cut it loose' on Day 1 -- 7/29
The health concerns over Jordyn Tyson make sense, given his history, but Tyson was able to "cut it loose" on Day 1 of practice, again according to Jackson.
"He caught his first pass of team drills during the second session from Shough on a quick pass to the left side. His explosive nature and ability to separate off of the line of scrimmage are very easy to see, even in a training camp environment," wrote Jackson.
Tyler Shough looking like a late-round steal as a fantasy QB2 -- 7/29
The table is set for Shough to have a phenomenal season. He presents mobility and runs a bit, but the weapons are all there. Currently, he is being drafted anywhere from the QB18 to the QB21. Don't forget, from Week 10 on last season, Shough had an impressive five top-12 finishes, including three inside the top 10.
