Spencer Rattler’s Saints preseason showing was a mixed bag, underscoring the ongoing QB competition. He completed 7 of 11 passes for 53 yards, added 22 rushing yards on three carries, but absorbed three sacks and a late fumble that clouded the day’s evaluation. Pocket awareness and rapid reads were inconsistent, though his legs helped extend several drives. New Orleans built a few early runs but stalled on third down, leaving questions about who’ll lead the offense when the games matter.

Rattler acknowledged the rough patches, saying there was “too much up and down” and that he left plays out there. The Saints rotate three quarterbacks, and the room will again be tested next week as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dillon Radunz drew attention on the line after a play where the right side was overwhelmed, fueling debate about his best spot (tackle vs guard) and how the protection will shape the Saints’ attack. For fantasy, the takeaway is to monitor the QB competition’s progression, the efficiency on third downs, and the potential rushing floor Rattler could offer if he wins the job and keeps extending drives. The upcoming clash with Jacksonville will be revealing for depth and play-calling rhythm.
