New Orleans’ preseason opener vs. Los Angeles exposed a mixed bag for the Saints. Tyler Shough showed the most polish in Moore’s system, finishing with 15/22 for 165 yards, a TD and an interception, signaling a potential QB leader amid a crowded battle. Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener struggled at times, while Mason Tipton flashed with a 54-yard catch that hinted at a late-round target ceiling. On the ground, the run game never found traction, and the o-line allowed pressure with backups in. Still, shrewd lineup moves emerged: Dillon Radunz took guard reps over Trevor Penning, suggesting durability and matchup planning could tilt the offensive line in Weeks ahead. Demario Davis anchored the defense, with rookie talents like Isaiah Stalbird flashing enough to keep fantasy watchers attentive. The Saints’ Week 2 tilt should sharpen the evaluative lens on the QB trio, the guard/ tackle combinations, and which newcomers can carve steady roles in Brandon Staley’s scheme.
