BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Derek Carr has been the king of empty passing calories for the quarterback position this year. The veteran quarterback had 50 pass attempts (the fourth time this season he was above 30 attempts) and 353 passing yards (the second time he’s gone above 300 yards this season) but only 16.3 fantasy points in a loss to the Texans.

Carr has yet to surpass 20 fantasy points this season, but with so many teams on bye in Week 7, he seems like an unavoidable waiver wire target, given his passing volume. The Saints have a four-game stretch coming up against the Jaguars, Colts, Bears, and Vikings before the team heads to their bye in Week 11. All four of those teams are a top-10 fantasy quarterback matchup, which gives Carr long-term streaming appeal.
Carr isn’t going to win many fantasy matchups, given his high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy ability. But with so many quarterbacks missing next week, he can be good enough to give you fantasy points against Jacksonville to keep your team competitive.
