Derek Carr
2024 Player Outlook
Carr is what he is at this point. His 2023 season was fine, he completed 68% of his passes for 3,878 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions. This is somewhat par for the course when it comes to Carr as he just seemingly isn't able to put together big time production on a consistent basis. The play calling in New Orleans is also super frustrating with the team's insistence on using Taysom Hill in the red zone which limits his opportunities at times to score but he also doesn't always execute like he should. The weapons in New Orleans are fine but nothing special. Yes, Chris Olave is a stud and Rashid Shaheed is going to get a big opportunity this season but the wide receiver depth falls off after that. We should also expect Alvin Kamara to continue to be a big focal point of the offense as well. Carr is a great week-to-week matchup QB and someone I would be looking to draft as a high floor backup in single QB leagues.
