Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 After Strong Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr was unconscious in Week 1, completing 19-of-23 passes for three touchdowns.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a good real-life quarterback, but that doesn't always translate to fantasy scoring.
