Neither Derek Carr or Jake Haener will be under center for the Saints — Rattler will get the start, barring any unexpected injury setbacks in practice this week.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Spencer Rattler in Week 16?
Do you know how hard it is to appear in four games, have a 30+ yard completion in each of those contests, and still average under six yards per pass attempt?
That’s the situation we have with Spencer Rattler. This roster opened the season with plenty of playmakers capable of making impact plays, but just about all of them will be watching this game.
There are a handful of backup QBs starting this week, and Rattler is the one I have the least confidence in.
