Derek Carr

Derek Carr completed 19-of-23 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in the Saints’ 47-10, Week 1 win over the Panthers.

The Saints’ revamped offensive design under Klint Kubiak was the talk of the town in New Orleans this offseason and the hire immediately paid dividends for Derek Carr. He opened the game with a 59-yard touchdown to Rashid Shaheed on his third pass attempt. Carr also hit his tight ends Foster Moreau and Juwan Johnson for touchdowns in the first half. This could have been an elite box score for Carr had he kept going, but the Panthers managed just three points through two quarters while the Saints had already put 30 on the board. Carr threw just seven passes in the second half. The Saints’ new offensive approach should allow Carr to keep this momentum heading into Week 2 versus the Cowboys. He will rank as a fantasy QB2.
