Tyler Shough Fantasy Value for 2025
Ian Hartitz: I'm cautiously optimistic that Shough's big arm and Power 5-best 8.7% pressure-to-sack rate will translate well to the professional level.
That said, Derek Carr (shoulder) still profiles as QB1 if he feels like playing this year is healthy enough to suit up. Spencer Rattler also feasibly isn't out of the picture.
Best-case scenario, Shough is the Week 1 starter, but even then, we're talking about someone who might only barely crack the top-30 re-draft QBs in fantasy land ahead of 2025.
