  Saints | Saints may restructure Derek Carr    Sat Feb 3, 10:06 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to have his contract restructured, which would likely keep him with the team for another two seasons, per source on Friday, Feb. 2.

Footballguys view: Carr has a cap hit of $35.7 million in 2024, and there's $52.8 million remaining in dead money. The Saints are about $83 million over the cap right now, so plenty of cap gymnastics will have to be made before the start of the new league year.

  Saints | Four touchdowns for Derek Carr    Sun Jan 7, 06:28 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr went 22-for-28 for 264 yards and four touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18.

Footballguys view: Carr played his best in the last month of the season. It's looking more like his injuries were holding him back earlier in the year. The Saints passing game might be underrated in fantasy leagues as many tuned out of the Saints after Carr was inconsistent earlier in the season.

  Saints | Derek Carr to start in Week 14    Sun Dec 10, 09:04 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) will start Week 14's game against the Carolina Panthers. Even though he passed concussion protocol Friday, Dec. 8, he will be playing at less than 100 percent because of a non-displaced rib cartilage fracture. Carr also had a sprained AC joint in his shoulder.

  Saints | Derek Carr expected to play in Week 14    Sat Dec 9, 10:48 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) has cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to be the starting quarterback in Week 14, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Carr has been banged up quite a bit this season, especially over the last month or so. The Saints need to be careful with him because if Carr gets concussed again his season would likely be over (and we'd have to start questioning his career length). Jameis Winston stays as Carr's backup for now.

  Saints | Derek Carr unlikely to play?    Thu Dec 7, 10:50 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (ribs, shoulder, concussion) is 'looking like a long shot' to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, according to a source.

Footballguys view: That sounds about right. Carr just is fighting too many issues to make it out there in Week 14. That means Jameis Winston gets the start against the Panthers. We have him in the QB2 range (around QB20), so only Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/SuperFlex leagues would be considering him.

  Saints | Derek Carr out of game    Sun Dec 3, 03:49 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (arm) left the Week 13 game early after suffering an apparent arm injury.

Footballguys view: Jameis Winston is in for Carr again. This could also get Taysom Hill a larger opportunity to take snaps as a quarterback. At this point, Winston should be carried in 2QB/Superflex even if Carr can play next week against the Panthers.

  Saints | Derek Carr surpasses 300-yard mark    Sun Nov 26, 05:32 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr went 24-for-38 for 304 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. He also rushed for seven yards on two carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Carr was sharp throwing downfield early in this game, but the offense was unable to finish drives with touchdowns, and he lost his top two receivers during the game. The Saints fell back into a tie for first place in the division heading into a tough home game against the Lions.

  Saints | Derek Carr still in protocol    Mon Nov 20, 02:21 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol, according to sources Monday, Nov. 20.

Footballguys view: As per usual, Carr will have to get through the protocol before he can resume playing. That means he'll have to be cleared to practice and then see how his body responds to more work. The Saints had a bye in Week 11, and they play the Falcons in Week 12. Jameis Winston will start if Carr can't be cleared in time.

  Saints | Derek Carr in concussion protocol    Mon Nov 13, 02:55 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion, shoulder) is in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Dennis Allen on Monday, Nov. 13. Also, Carr's shoulder 'checked out fine' following the Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Footballguys view: Jameis Winston stepped in during the third quarter of the game against the Vikings on Sunday after Carr went down. The Saints have a bye in Week 11, so Carr has ample time to get through the league's concussion protocol.

  Saints | Derek Carr will not return    Sun Nov 12, 03:28 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion, shoulder) suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury during the Week 10 game and has been ruled out.

Footballguys view: The Saints are on bye next week, so perhaps Carr might not miss any additional games. New Orleans has one of the best backup quarterback in the league in Jameis Winston, so they don't have to rush Carr back.

  Saints | Derek Carr airing it out    Sat Nov 11, 01:19 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr's 1,175 passing yards over the last four weeks are the most in the NFL.

Footballguys view: Carr is hitting his stride with the Saints, and Fantasy GMs are loving it. If you're streaming quarterbacks, Carr is an option. If you have someone like Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts on bye, Carr could be an option in Week 10 against the Vikings.

  Saints | Derek Carr plays well in Week 8    Sun Oct 29, 05:00 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr went 19-for-27 for 310 yards and two touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Footballguys view: Carr was successful passing deep to Rashid Shaheed a couple of times to help jumpstart the offense. He had his best fantasy performance of the season, a reminder to consider quarterbacks against the Colts - although next week that is Bryce Young as the Colts travel to Carolina. Carr will get to face the Bears and deserves some QB2/Superflex consideration.

  Saints | Derek Carr throws for 301 yards in loss    Fri Oct 20, 01:35 AM

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr completed 33 of his 55 passes for 301 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, Oct. 19. Carr also ran three times for 14 yards.

Footballguys view: Carr is putting up adequate fantasy numbers for a QB2/Superflex on short range volume, but it's clear that hopes that he would revitalize this passing game are not going to come to fruition. The Saints offense seems to be hampered by poor play designs and playcalling, but they are facing a vulnerable Colts pass defense next week.
