Derek Carr completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 200 yards and three touchdowns in New Orleans' Week 1 win over Carolina. He added two carries for 13 yards.
Fantasy Impact:
Carr was sensational in the season opener, tossing a 59-yard touchdown on the first drive and finishing with a QB rating of 142.5. He could've had an even more explosive day if the Panthers were able to generate any kind of offense, but he only needed to throw seven passes in the second half. It was additionally promising to observe him shred the Panthers defense without having to rely on Chris Olave. Carr will be in for a much tougher test in Dallas next week, and will remain a QB2 for fantasy purposes.
