Saints-Rams game headlines

Tyler Shough’s first start: Spencer Rattler has been benched in favor of the rookie. Kellen Moore has officially made the change, and with it, comes some excitement and intrigue regarding the potential of Shough. If he struggles mightily over the back half of the season, it’s very possible New Orleans picks a rookie QB in round one of the 2026 NFL Draft. If he impresses, that situation gets murkier.

Potentially final game with New Orleans for veterans: The trade deadline looms around the NFL. The Saints are expected to sell off some veteran pieces to their roster, and names like Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks, Cesar Ruiz, Carl Granderson, and others have all been mentioned as potential players who could get dealt. This matchup in Week 9 could be the final one for certain players in black and gold.

Chase Young’s emergence: Young has been incredibly impressive since his return from injury this season. He’s the highest rated player on the roster via Pro Football Focus since he returned to the field, and his presence along the defensive line is extremely clear and evident. New Orleans sees him as a long-term piece to their front seven, and he is showing why right now.
