2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
A lack of success in New Orleans has led to Derek Carr becoming one of the NFL's most highly criticized quarterbacks. This is especially true in fantasy football circles, as he hardly finished as a QB2 in FPts/G during his first season with the Saints.

Carr is not much of a fantasy asset as he offers very little on the ground (zero rushing TDs the last three years). He has spent most of his career as a middling QB2 and will likely continue this trend in 2024. However, he does provide value due to the offensive environment he can create.

Carr has consistently supported top-ten fantasy wide receivers. Amari Cooper, Davante Adams, and Hunter Renfrow (yes, Hunter Renfrow) all had seasons as the WR10 or better with Carr under center. He also captained a highly underrated Saints offense in 2023. New Orleans ranked 9th in scoring offense last season, beating out teams like the Packers, Texans, and Chiefs.

Carr should not be circled on anyone's rankings sheets heading into drafts, but there is reason to be optimistic for him as a bye-week filler given the offensive weapons around him.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Rashid Shaheed to have meniscus surgery on knee
Out multiple weeks
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 16, 3:19 pm

New Orleans
Source: Saints WR Rashid Shaheed’s meniscus surgery Thursday is now expected to determine whether he will be sidelined multiple weeks or for the rest of the season. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Saints are set to be without Chris Olave (concussion) and Shaheed in Week 7 when the host the Broncos. Depending on how the procedure goes, Shaheed could miss the rest of the season. The Saints season is circling the drain as they have now sustained injuries to three of their top four players on offense including QB Derek Carr (oblique). Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton are expected to be the top three receivers for Saints on Thursday.


Injury Derek Carr likely to miss a couple of weeks
Oblique injury
By: Doug Orth | Tue Oct 8, 6:00 pm

Las Vegas Raiders
Sources to me and @RapSheet: #Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss multiple games with an oblique injury he suffered against the #Chiefs. New Orleans has two games in the next nine days, and the likelihood is Carr misses Sun vs. the #Buccaneers and Thurs vs. the #Broncos. (NFL Network - Mike Garafolo)

FFToday's Take: Carr missing multiple games was the most likely scenario once it was confirmed he injured his oblique. It would not be terribly surprising if he misses more than two games, but there is almost no chance he can return before then Week 8 because the team plays on Thursday in Week 7. Jake Haener took over for Carr as soon as he left the game on Monday night, but early reports suggest rookie Spencer Rattler is "a strong candidate" to get the nod as well. While Carr was not exactly setting the world on fire with his recent play, his absence figures to lower the ceilings of Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
