Saints quarterback competition remains unresolved as the team readies for Saturday’s showcase against Denver. Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough have split first‑team reps through two preseason games, while coach Kellen Moore refused to reveal a starter, saying the decision is too close to call. The dynamic keeps fantasy managers on their toes, as practice reps could tilt the outcome week to week. A Denver result this weekend may provide a clearer signal on Week 1 expectations for the Saints’ passing attack.
Meanwhile, Tyler Warren’s hype train continues in Indianapolis. The Colts describe him as a tough, sure‑handed playmaker with standout open‑field ability and after‑the‑catch juice, reinforcing his status as a low‑end TE1 with upside if he earns frequent targets. For fantasy rosters, Warren’s trajectory suggests late‑round TE opportunities in deeper formats, especially if his role expands in open space.
Denver’s looming preseason clash adds a helpful stress test for the Saints’ QB decision, with the Broncos' upcoming game acting as a barometer for timing and decision‑making in the Saints’ aerial attack. Until a clear starter emerges, fantasy players should tolerate the ambiguity in New Orleans and watch how practice reps translate into in‑game usage and weekly projections.
