Saints QB Derek Carr back in concussion protocol

Dec 04, 2023

Saints quarterback Derek Carr is back in the concussion protocol.

Carr suffered his second concussion in the last four weeks during Sunday’s 33-28 loss to the Lions in Detroit and he has also dealt with multiple right shoulder issues, but he’s yet to miss a start in his first season in New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Dennis Allen said that “it’s concerning” any time a player has a concussion in response to a question about multiple head injuries in a short period of time, the story said. The story also bought up the concussion and other injuries being a reason to sit Carr down. The Saints play the Panthers and Giants over the next two weeks as they look to stay in the playoff hunt. If Carr can't go, or the team feels he needs a rest, Winston would be in line to start.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
