Derek Carr

I wanted to include Carr in the must-start section, but everyone isn't ready for that yet, so let's have that conversation right now. Carr is the QB2 in fantasy football. Let...that...sink...in. Derek Carr is the QB2 in fantasy football. Good lawd. He leads the NFL in yards per attempt, passer rating, CPOE, and fantasy points per dropback. Yes, right now, he is a must-start. Carr should have a field day against a Philly secondary that has allowed the seventh-highest passing yards per game and yards per attempt and the 10th-highest passer rating. He should have plenty of time in the pocket to dissect this pass defense. The Saints have allowed the sixth-lowest pressure rate, and the Eagles have the seventh-lowest pressure rate.

Derek Carr completed 11-of-16 passes for 243 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Saints 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

It has been quite the offensive explosion by the Saints offense through two weeks under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Carr threw a long touchdown to Rashid Shaheed for the second straight week. He remains a QB2 heading into next week.
