2024 Season Outlooks

Carr returns as the QB1 for the Saints in 2024 after he restructured his contract this offseason. Carr finished the 2023 season averaging just the 24th-most Fantasy points per game at QB, but he did provide managers with spike weeks. He finished as a top-12 QB six times, including three of the last four Saints games. Carr provides no rushing upside, however, and at this stage of his career projects best as a QB2. He should only be rostered in deep one-QB formats and as a QB2/3 in two-QB and Superflex formats.

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.
