Rookie Spencer Rattler will start at quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, replacing the injured Derek Carr.

Why it matters: This marks Rattler's NFL debut and puts him in a position of great responsibility as he leads the team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

  • Rattler has shown potential during the preseason, but regular-season games present a new level of competition and pressure.
  • The Saints' success in these upcoming games will heavily rely on Rattler's ability to step up and perform at the quarterback position.

What to watch:

  • How Rattler handles the pressure of starting his first NFL game.
  • How well he can execute the Saints' offensive system and make accurate throws.
  • The chemistry between Rattler and his receiving targets.

The bottom line: The Saints have placed their trust in Rattler to lead them in Carr's absence. His performance in these games will be crucial in determining the team's success.
