Draft note

by John Paulsen

Carr finished QB16 last year (QB20 on a per-game basis) after a QB13 finish the year before (QB21 per game). Carr’s season was a disappointment given the arrival of Davante Adams, who should have enabled Carr to finish as a low-end QB1. Instead, the Raiders released Carr and now he lands in New Orleans in a pretty good situation, assuming Michael Thomas is healthy. Chris Olave is going to be a star and Rashid Shaheed was also terrific in limited opportunities. Carr should offer solid to low-end QB2 numbers, but Taysom Hill is likely to poach some high-value snaps in the red zone.

Latest news

Saints TE Foster Moreau could compete with Juwan Johnson as the team's TE1

Katherine Terrell

Jun 27 · 12:22 PM EDT

Moreau isn't exactly an unknown quantity after four seasons and 12 touchdowns with the Raiders. Nobody quite knew when Moreau would be returning to football, however, after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the offseason. It would be impossible to know that detail based on his play in OTAs and minicamp. Moreau was a frequent target of quarterback Derek Carr throughout practice and participated in 11-on-11 drills without limitations. He worked with both the first and second team during OTAs and could compete with Juwan Johnson for snaps as the team's No. 1 or No. 2 tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

As seems to be the case every season since the Jimmy Graham years, the Saints TE situation looks like it will be muddy once again in 2023. Taysom Hill likely has the biggest ceiling, being that he will line up all over the field. Moreau and Johnson will look to cannibalize fantasy production away from one another, making them both undraftable.

NO QB Derek Carr - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

Derek Carr was Derek Carr in his first game as a Saint. Not great but not terrible either. Just enough to keep the offense moving but won’t exactly wow you. That’s fine for a QB2 spot but probably not much more than that. He did throw for over 300 yards in Week 1, so that’s a plus. Carolina should be a bit tougher of a matchup than Tennessee was.
