Derek Carr Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) is "very likely" to miss the rest of the season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Carr underwent further examination recently and he’s at least a few weeks away from being able to withstand contact," Rapoport adds. Carr can be dropped in all redraft leagues. We're projecting the Saints to go back to QB Spencer Rattler for Monday night's game against the Packers. But, whether it's Rattler or Jake Haener, you should stay away from Saints QBs in fantasy lineups.

The Saints believe QB Derek Carr fractured his left hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's Carr's non-throwing hand, but the injury still figures to cost him time, if not the rest of the season. We'll look for a timeline for Carr's return. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener vs. New York. He's probably the favorite over QB Spencer Rattler to start against the Commanders next weekend. It's a situation to steer clear of in fantasy lineups.

Update: The team has confirmed a "significant" fracture of the left hand, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Carr's expected to miss "several weeks," which could obviously mean the end of his season with just four games left.

Saints QB Derek Carr suffered an apparent left arm injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants and quickly headed back to the locker room. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener. Stay tuned for an update on Carr.

Update: Carr is being checked for a concussion and hand injury.

Saints QB Derek Carr threw for a nice 269 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Most of his production came on three completions to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The pair connected on a 40-yard TD, a 67-yarder to set up another score, and then the 2-yard TD to finish that position. Carr tallied 160 yards on his remaining 13 completions (among 22 other attempts). Carr added 17 yards on 4 carries.

Saints QB Derek Carr went just 18-of-31 passing for 236 yards Sunday against the Panthers, after missing the previous three games with an oblique injury. He threw for 1 TD -- to TE Foster Moreau -- but didn't turn the ball over.

Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) was limited in practice all week but is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. Despite that plus matchup, Carr is really only in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues. But his return is excellent news for RB Alvin Kamara and especially WR Chris Olave.

Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Dennis Allen has been optimistic about Carr's chances of returning for this weekend's game against the Panthers but has stopped short of guaranteeing it. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Monday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is expected to return to practice this week. Allen added that he's "optimistic" Carr will be able to play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. That'd be excellent news for everyone in this New Orleans offense. The Saints averaged just 15 points and 215 passing yards per game without Carr over the past three weeks.

Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. We’re expecting him back for next weekend’s game against the Panthers. QB Spencer Rattler makes his third straight start today but isn’t a recommended play in any fantasy format.

Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. He should have a chance to make it back for Week 9, but QB Spencer Rattler will start this weekend. He’s not a recommended starter even in 2-QB fantasy leagues.

Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Dennis Allen said afterward that QB Spencer Rattler will likely start this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. We're tentatively expecting Carr back for Week 9.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Friday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) has a chance to play in Week 8 and will "very likely" be back at least by Week 9. Carr is scheduled to resume throwing on Saturday. "This is a functionality question," Allen added. We'll track Carr's progress next week. It's unclear if QB Spencer Rattler or QB Jake Haener will start vs. the Chargers next week if Carr remains out. Rattler was knocked out of the Thursday night loss to the Broncos with a hip pointer but will likely be available for Week 8.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is "getting closer into the day-to-day type of range." Carr is officially doubtful for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos, but it sounds like he has a chance to make it back for Week 8. We'll see how QB Spencer Rattler fares in his second career start against Denver.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that QB Spencer Rattler will start this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. The fifth-round rookie boasts exciting arm talent but completed just 53% of his passes at 5.3 yards per attempt this preseason. He's not a Week 6 fantasy option and is a downgrade for New Orleans' pass catchers. Allen also said Wednesday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is "week to week" but won't go on IR.

Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
