Spencer Rattler

Saints coach Dennis Allen said Spencer Rattler is expected to start in Week 8 against the Chargers.

Derek Carr is still nursing an oblique injury, putting Rattler in line to make his third career start. Rattler was thoroughly exposed by the Broncos last week. He threw for 172 scoreless yards and took six sacks. Jake Haener closed out the game and managed a garbage-time touchdown. With Rashid Shaheed done for the year, Chris Olave, who looks likely to return from his concussion this week, is the only New Orleans pass-catcher fantasy managers need to worry about. He will be a volume-based WR2 versus the Chargers this week.
