2023 Fantasy Outlook
Haener was the first quarterback selected on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, as he was widely considered an instinctual, tough passer primarily limited by his stature (6-1, 200). He balanced production with efficiency at Fresno State, accumulating a 67:17 TD:INT, and he completed at least 65 percent of his passes in each of his three seasons as a starter. With Derek Carr now in town as QB1 and Taysom Hill available as a dual-threat option, Haener profiles as a developmental project who may compete with backup Jameis Winston after the latter agreed to a restructured contract in the offseason.

RANKS
Never plays as rookie
Haener did not appear in a game during his 2023 rookie season.
ANALYSIS
Haener was suspended for the first six games of the season and never appeared in any games as a rookie. The fourth-round pick likely never would have seen the field even if he was not suspended, as veteran Jameis Winston appeared firmly planted as the Saints' primary backup quarterback behind Derek Carr heading into the regular season. The starting signal-caller was knocked out of three games due to injuries this season, and Winston handled the remainder of quarterback reps in his absence. Haener will likely get an opportunity to compete with Winston for the No. 2 quarterback spot heading into the 2024 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not hindered by size
Haener has shown impressive accuracy, decisiveness and command of the Saints' offense in training camp, Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Haener's unlikely to push for regular-season playing time since the Saints have veterans Derek Carr and Jameis Winston ahead of him on the depth chart. The rookie fourth-round pick could be a player to keep an eye on for the future, though, and Haener should get plenty of opportunities to further impress the Saints' coaching staff in the preseason. Haener likely would have been drafted earlier if he were a couple inches taller, but Duncan notes that the 5-foot-11 quarterback hasn't been hindered by his smaller stature in practice.
