2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rattler was the third selection of the Saints in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he's likely in the cards for the team's future plans at quarterback. However, the fifth-round pick will immediately contend for the backup role behind starting signal-caller Derek Carr. With Jameis Winston gone to Cleveland, Rattler will contend with journeyman Nathan Peterman and 2021 fourth-round pick Jake Haener, the latter of whom has yet to make his NFL debut. Rattler started his collegiate career with high expectations at Oklahoma before losing his job to Caleb Williams in 2021, and he finished with a 19:8 TD:INT at South Carolina in 2023.

Solid numbers in finale
Rattler completed 26 of 42 passes for 240 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed once for 11 yards in the Saints' 27-19 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie quarterback got one final opportunity to gain experience and build his case for the future since Derek Carr (hand) remained sidelined, and Rattler made good use of the season-ending start. The South Carolina product was able to generate his second-highest yardage total of the season through the air and avoided an interception for the first time in his three consecutive season-ending starts. Rattler's solid performances over the last two games were particularly noteworthy considering the extremely shorthanded nature of New Orleans' offense, and it remains to be seen where he'll slot in on the organizational depth chart heading into training camp next summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
One more start to close out season
Rattler will start Sunday's Week 18 game against the Buccaneers due to Derek Carr being ruled out with his hand injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Carr, despite his best efforts to return for the end of the season, did not have enough functionality in his injured hand to play. Therefore, Rattler, who's completed 53.0 percent of his passes for 371 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions over the past two games -- while adding eight rushes for 74 yards -- will reprise his starting role one final time in the 2024 campaign.
