Injures oblique at practice
Haener sustained an oblique strain at practice Wednesday that is expected to sideline him multiple weeks but leave him ready for the start of training camp in late July, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2023 fourth-round pick who suited up for eight games last season, Haener boasts the longest tenure in the NFL of the Saints' quarterback room. With his participation in the team's three-way contest for the Week 1 starting job now on pause until potentially as long as training camp, increased reps are up for grabs for rookie second-rounder Tyler Shough and 2024 fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler throughout OTAs. Hunter Dekkers, an undrafted free agent who started for Iowa State in 2022 before playing in junior college in 2024, also could push for some opportunities at OTAs with Haener unavailable.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A fourth-round pick in 2023, Haener was suspended the first six games last season and still is awaiting his NFL debut. That could come this season. With Jameis Winston off to Cleveland, Haener is the favorite to back up fellow Fresno State alum Derek Carr in New Orleans. He’ll compete with journeyman Nathan Peterman and rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler. Undersized at 6-1, 200, Haener doesn’t possess elite traits and has only adequate arm strength, but he gets the ball out quickly, showed good anticipation in college and is plenty athletic. Taysom Hill is still around as the gadget guy, but if Carr misses time, Haener likely will take the reins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In three-way QB competition
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Saturday that Haener, Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler will compete for the starting quarterback job during camp in the wake of Derek Carr's retirement, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Haener's the oldest of the three at age 26 but has just one NFL start under his belt, though none of the three quarterbacks on the Saints' roster has won a game at the NFL level. While Haener's likely running third in the competition heading into the start of camp, his chances of earning playing time are substantially higher now than when Carr was the presumptive starter.
