Derek Carr Officially Active For Week 5

Derek Carr Officially Active For Week 5

one year ago

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially active for Week 5 despite being listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Carr "is in a better place health-wise than last week" when he went 23-for-37 with 127 yards, zero touchdowns, and one fumble lost. Carr was initially expected to be inactive for that game, but the Saints made a last-minute decision to have him play. Heading into Week 5, he is far more healthy and prepared, having participated in some capacity during every practice this past week. Carr and the Saints take on a Patriots defense that just lost its two biggest stars, Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez. Carr is an appealing option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues while Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara remain must-starts in all formats.
