The Saints enter 2026 looking to build on some promising signs from Kellen Moore's first season as head coach.
New Orleans finished 6-11 in 2025 after navigating injuries and uncertainty at quarterback, but the offense found more stability once Tyler Shough took over under center.
Here were the Saints' scoring touchdown leaders during the 2025 season:
π€ Chris Olave β 9 receiving TDs
π Juwan Johnson β 3 receiving TDs
π€ Tyler Shough β 3 rushing TDs
π Rashid Shaheed β 2 receiving TDs
π€ Devaughn Vele β 2 receiving TDs
π Devin Neal β 2 rushing TDs
π€ Alvin Kamara, Audric Estime & Kendre Miller β 1 rushing TD
π Kevin Austin, Ronnie Bell & Jack Stoll β 1 receiving TD
π‘οΈ Justin Reid, Jordan Howden & Chase Young β 1 defensive TD
Olave was easily the team's biggest scoring threat, reaching the end zone nine times while no other Saints player scored more than three touchdowns.
Shough also contributed three scores on the ground after eventually taking over at quarterback, and his emergence gave New Orleans more stability at the position as the season progressed.
The group has changed since then, with Shaheed being traded during the 2025 season, but several of the main pieces remain in place as Moore enters his second year.
After a difficult season that still provided some reasons for optimism, the next step is turning those promising stretches into more consistent production. Can Shough and the Saints' offense make that jump in 2026?
