Derek Carr gives mediocre performance Monday night

Despite leading the New Orleans Saints to a narrow 20-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers, Derek Carr’s Week 2 performance left much to be desired from a fantasy perspective.

Fantasy Impact: The 32-year-old signal-caller completed 21 of his 36 attempts for a modest 228 yards, but failed to find the end zone and tossed an interception. His rushing attempts were equally uninspiring, with three attempts resulting in a loss of four yards. Carr’s lackluster performance saw him slide to QB33 for the week, a significant drop from his season-long rank of QB27. His season stats now stand at 44 completions from 69 attempts for 533 yards, with just one touchdown and two interceptions. Looking ahead, Carr and the Saints will face a stern test against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. Fantasy managers will be hoping for a bounce-back performance from the veteran QB, but this week’s performance serves as a stark reminder of the volatility of the quarterback position in fantasy football.
