BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr should be viewed as a high-end QB2 on Monday evening when he faces the Kansas City Chiefs.
Carr had a great start to the campaign as he averaged 24.8 PPR points per game through the first two weeks with five total scores and 446 passing yards. However, over the past two weeks, Carr has taken a step back as he has averaged just 11.9 PPR points per game with just one total score.

With the Saints as 5.5-point underdogs on Monday evening, Carr could be forced to push the ball downfield in order to keep his team in the game, facing a potent Kansas offense. As a result, Carr is worth starting as a low-end option in 14-team formats and a solid play in DFS with the potential for a positive fantasy game script.
