The New Orleans Saints (1-4) will host the New England Patriots (3-2) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Spencer Rattler.
Is Spencer Rattler Playing in Week 6?
Rattler is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Spencer Rattler in Week 6?
Props to Spencer Rattler for getting in the win column on Sunday afternoon against the Giants. He’s been battling and it’s always good to see work like that finally pay off, but he’s nowhere near the fantasy radar and that’s very unlikely to change.
He deserves credit for hitting Rashid Shaheed on the 87-yard touchdown, but without that, we are looking at 30 passing attempts for 138 yards and zero scores.
This team simply doesn’t move the ball consistently enough to elevate a player like this. Rattler has completed just four of 17 end zone throws, and while there is some mobility in the 25-year-old’s profile, it’s not enough to single-handedly make him viable.
