Derek Carr
Derek Carr set to Miss few Weeks, Spencer Rattler to Start
2 months ago

Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury that will keep him out multiple weeks.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr started the season off red hot, but in the last few weeks he has cooled off.  Now he will miss multiple weeks due to suffering an oblique injury in Monday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

 

The Saints will look for a new starting QB for next couple games, all signs point to rookie Spencer Rattler.  Rattler was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 Draft.  He started college at Oklahoma and finished at South Carolina.  Some may recognize his name from Netflix show called QB1: Beyond the Lights.

 

The outlook for the Saints next couple of games without Carr at QB appear to be iffy, while they will look to lean on the rookie.  They will face Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos the next two games.  For fantasy look for the Saints to continue to give Alvin Kamara the ball and perhaps also look for Taysom Hill to get some snaps if he is healthy.  Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed can have success against the Buccaneers, they just allowed Darnell Mooney and Drake London both 100-yards.
