News: 2 days agoCarr completed 11 of 16 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 44-19 rout of the Cowboys. He added a one-yard touchdown run.

Spin: The Saints scored 35 of their points before halftime, including all three of the TDs that Carr had a hand in, so he didn't have a whole lot to do in the second half. The New Orleans offense under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has been a revelation to begin the season, scoring touchdowns on 11 of its first 21 possessions, and Carr already has three TD passes of 50 or more yards through two weeks, including a 70-yarder to Rashid Shaheed on a deep fly route in the first quarter and a 57-yarder to Alvin Kamara on a screen pass in the second against Dallas. Carr will look to continue the hottest start of his career in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Carr is back for his second season as the Saints' starting QB. The 33-year-old did his usual bit, soaking up plenty of passing volume (he finished 13th or better in passing yardage and TDs for the fourth straight season) but not producing as a rusher (career-low 40 rush yards and zero TDs for the third straight season). The limited rushing led to a 16th-place finish in total fantasy points (26th in PPG) and he's still yet to produce a top-10 fantasy campign in his career. Carr's supporting cast isn't overly impressive outside of Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara, so a big leap forward in passing production is unlikely. He's a low-ceiling QB2.
