Our read
This is a depth chart call more than a talent call. Shough is listed first, Rattler second, and inside last season you can watch the seat heat: his snap share ran 99% early and slid to 61% by the back stretch. He played 9 of 17 in 2025 with none of the missed weeks due to injury, so the 6 games we project is the coaching staff's decision, not his health. He was benched in a contract year for a second-round rookie, and that is exactly what it looks like.
When he did play, it was thin. 11.0 points a game, above the weekly median in just 2 of 9 starts, one touch inside the ten all year. He is 25.9 on opening day, a third-year fifth-rounder from the 2024 draft, so this is not a raw prospect you wait on. The 7.5 win total Vegas posted on this team says the offense around him is not bailing anyone out, and Kellen Moore and Doug Nussmeier are back, so the scheme question is settled, just not in his favor.
Our number is 45 points and QB44, with no ADP on file and five players left in his tier before a real drop. In one-quarterback formats that is undraftable, full stop. In a deep superflex where you carry three passers, he is a last-pick name to write on the back of your sheet, nothing more. If Shough stumbles early, Rattler becomes relevant by week 5 and you can grab him off waivers then. I would not spend a pick to find out.
