Saints QB Tyler Shough was one of the top fantasy QBs of the week completing 29 of 42 passes for 250 yards and 4 TDs with 1 INT. Shough also had a 36-yard rush. Shough finished as QB6 and QB8 in his first two weeks and will be a top fantasy QB again in Week 3. He looks locked in as a QB1 going forward with the Saints fast pace of play under HC Kellen Moore.

The Saints had the fastest pace of play in Week 1 at just 16 seconds per play, but that climbed to 36 seconds per play in Week 2, ranking 18th.
Moore certainly likes to keep the offense uptempo, and the Saints lean on the pass. Shough’s fantasy numbers have reflected that with three straight top-ten QB performances.
Shough tossed 2 of his 4 TDs to TE Juwan Johnson, who caught all 8 of his targets for 48 yards. Johnson was second on the team in targets behind lead WR Chris Olave, who caught 9 of 13 targets for 107 yards.
The Saints have games at home against the Falcons and Vikings over the next two weeks.
