Derek Carr 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Carr has spent most of his career with the Las Vegas Raiders. After nine years with the Raiders, the veteran played for the New Orleans Saints in 2023. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the best season of his career. Carr struggled with injuries most of the year but still had 3,878 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions in 17 games.

Fantasy players should have high hopes for Carr in 2024. The Saints hired Klint Kubiak as their offensive coordinator this offseason after spending the last season with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quarterback doesn’t have an elite set of weapons but has two talented playmakers – Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara.

Who Should I Draft?

Both quarterbacks are solid QB2 options in superflex leagues. However, Carr is the safer pick. He has been a productive No. 2 quarterback for fantasy players in the past. Furthermore, the veteran has two talented pass catchers while Nix has a more inexperienced group.
