Tyler Shough: Four TDs in Week 6 win

Shough threw for 144 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

By Cole Hartwell

Tyler Shough threw for 144 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another touchdown in Sunday’s 34-27 win over the Giants. He completed 16 of 30 passes and added 32 yards and a touchdown on five carries.

What happened

Shough was drafted 15 picks after Jaxson Dart in 2025, according to Yahoo Sports. Against the Giants, he accounted for four touchdowns.

Context

Through Week 5, Shough had 90.2 PPR points, 1,299 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, five interceptions and one rushing touchdown. That is 18.0 PPR points per game. Sleeper projected him for 17.1 PPR points in Week 6.

Timeline

An earlier report on Oct. 18 said Shough had been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, sources told ESPN. Shough and the Saints visited the New York Giants on Sunday, October 18.

Depth chart

Zach Wilson is QB2 and Spencer Rattler is QB3 on the Saints’ depth chart. Neither has played this season.

What’s next

The Saints’ Week 6 game against the Giants was already played.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Shough’s four-touchdown day came against the Giants. He had been projected for 17.1 PPR points, but he likely exceeded that with his four scores. Shough remains the Saints’ starting quarterback, and he was playing through a broken hand before this game. Zach Wilson and Spencer Rattler are the backups. If Shough continues to produce, he’s worth adding in deeper leagues where quarterbacks are scarce. Monitor his health going forward, as playing with a broken hand could remain a concern.
