Derek Carr Operable As A QB2

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has two top-15 performances since returning from injury in Week 9.

Juwan Johnson Has Bad Matchup In Week 11

With so many […]

Mason Tipton Not Playable In Week 11

Injuries to the New Orleans Saints wide receiver room cleared a path up the depth chart for rookie Mason Tipton.
