Derek Carr Struggles In Loss

Sunday, October 1, 8:26 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) quickly returned from the injury he suffered last week to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. New Orleans fell 26-9 to their divisional rival, and Carr struggled in the loss. The veteran completed 23-of-37 passes for 127 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. He did not look completely healthy and the offense looked stagnant against a tough Tampa defense. Carr will look to bounce back in Week 5 against a hot Houston Texans team.

Jameis Winston Likely To Start Sunday

Friday, September 29, 9:04 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will likely be under center on Sunday with Derek Carr (shoulder) yet to practice this week. Winston played the second half of last week's loss to Green Bay and while he was efficient and didn't turn the ball over, he also did not put any points on the board. He gets a shot at a revenge game this week as the Saints take on Tampa Bay, who selected Winston first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Tampa defense has been middle of the road against quarterbacks, allowing 17.7 fantasy points per game throughout the first three weeks. Winston is a low end QB2 this week.
