Derek Carr isn't a factor in 1QB leagues as our #25 QB. His role as the starter in New Orleans makes him worth owning in 2QB leagues, even if you're not starting him in fantasy. Carr is expected to earn 3% of his projected 253 fantasy points by rushing. Projected for 11.1 interceptions compared to 26.9 passing TDs, Carr isn't not likely to melt down often.

Spencer Rattler won't begin the season as the Saints' starting QB - that honor belongs to Derek Carr. You can safely leave him on the waiver wire. Rattler is expected to earn 8% of his projected 10 fantasy points by rushing. He relies on his arm for his fantasy value, which isn't really problem considering he's a quarterback. Projected for a nan touchdown-to-interception ratio, Rattler doesn't carry much interception risk.
