BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Derek Carr completed almost 70% of his attempts in Week 1. He also threw for over 300 yards and one touchdown. Since he added very little on the ground and threw one interception, the outing was good for only 14.6 points. The 32-year-old followed up his Week 1 performance with 228 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Much like Sam Howell, Carr has an excellent group of pass-catchers with Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, Rashid Shaheed, and Juwan Johnson. Not only that, but the offense will have Alvin Kamara back in Week 4. Between Kamara and Jamaal Williams, the team should have a quality running game this season.
Carr will have a tough matchup in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, who have been very tough on signal-callers in the young season. New Orleans will have a better matchup in Week 4 against the Buccaneers, but that has historically been a tough matchup regardless of who the quarterbacks have been. Still, Carr has plenty of weapons at his disposal, and that should be enough to make him a quality streamer when the matchup is right.
