New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is set to miss the remainder of the season with fractured hand.
New Orleans Saints injure riddle season continues with their starting quarterback Derek Carr. He is newest victim of the injury bug for the Saints and will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured hand on his non-throwing arm. Seems like the Saints cannot catch a break this season whether it’s Chris Olave, Kendre Miller, Taysom Hill injuries or the firing of Dennis Allen. Carr has missed 3 games earlier this season and rookie Spencer Rattler got the starts but under performed. Expect Jake Haener to start in place of Carr.
In fantasy terms this takes a massive hit to all receivers on the Saints. It could give a boast to Alvin Kamar or Kendre Miller going forward which they will have to rely on their running backs, they also may get a lot of check down passes. As for Carr, he should remain the Saints quarterback next season since he accounts for $51 million and if they release him, they will eat $50 million, so expect Carr on the Saints next year.

Fantasy football provides an escape from the daily stress and strain of life. Seeing a player go through health issues helps put things in perspective.
As far as viability for fantasy football, Jake Haener is a good stash in superflex Dynasty leagues where you deploy the ‘anyQBona53’ strategy. Last year proved that it is valuable to stash quarterbacks much in the same way backup running backs provide contingent value. Overall, stash Jake Haener on your superflex rosters and root for the Saints quarterback to be healthy on and off the football field.
