About Jake
Jake Haener is a quarterback on the roster of the New Orleans Saints, serving in a backup and depth role behind the team's starting signal-caller. He stands 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 200 pounds, a frame considered lean for the NFL position but not unusual for quarterbacks who developed at the college level. Haener played his college football at Fresno State, where he built a reputation as a productive passer in the Mountain West Conference before entering the NFL.
Through the 2024 season, Haener has appeared in 8 games, a figure that reflects spot usage rather than a full-time starting role. For bettors, that appearance count matters when evaluating prop availability and value. Quarterbacks in backup roles can see sudden usage spikes if a starter is injured or pulled, making it worth monitoring depth chart movement around Haener heading into any given week. When he does see action, standard QB prop angles such as passing yards, completions, and touchdown totals become relevant, though the limited baseline of a backup role makes line-setting less precise and potentially creates value on either side depending on game context. Tracking Saints injury reports and game scripts is the most useful indicator of whether Haener becomes a meaningful prop target in a given week.
