Tyler Shough injury update: QB playing with two broken bones in left hand

The Saints quarterback has been playing through the injury, sources told ESPN.

By Cole Hartwell

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, sources told ESPN.

What happened

The injury has not kept Shough off the field. He remains the Saints’ starting quarterback and is listed as QB1 on the team’s depth chart.

Context

Shough has 1299 passing yards, 9 passing touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 72 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown through Week 5. That adds up to 90.2 PPR points in 5 games, an average of 18.0 PPR points per game.

In Week 5 he posted 1.8 PPR points, with 96 passing yards and 2 interceptions. In Week 4 he had 15.9 PPR points (286 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 5 rushing yards), and in Week 3 he had 24.8 PPR points (255 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 36 rushing yards).

What’s next

Shough and the Saints visit the New York Giants on Sunday, October 18. Sleeper projects Shough for 17.4 PPR points in that game.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, sources told ESPN.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, but he remains the Saints’ starting quarterback. His Week 5 stinker (1.8 PPR points) looks worse paired with the news, but he has played every game this season and is not listed as out. His projection of 17.4 PPR points would be a solid bounce-back, making him a risky QB2 against the Giants. Zach Wilson and Spencer Rattler are the backups, but neither has played this season, so Shough’s job is likely safe while he manages the injury. If you need a starter in deep leagues, monitor his practice status, but don’t expect a shutdown unless the Saints make a change.
