Rapoport said Carr should be OK to play in Week 12.

Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder, concussion) is hopeful he can return after the team's Week 11 bye.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara made his season debut Sunday after serving a three-game suspension for his role in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas, and the offense leaned heavily on him in the 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kamara caught 13 balls for 33 yards. Unfortunately, the 33 yards isn't a typo, and, according to the story, was the first time that a player had 13 or more catches and so few yards. The previous record was set by Buccaneers running back James Wilder, a name from Tecmo Bowl days, who had 13 receptions for 71 yards in 1985. The good news for Kamara owners is it looks like he could see a lot of work out of the backfield, especially with Williams on IR.

It will continue to be Jameis Winston's show in New Orleans until Derek Carr is able to return. As it stands, Carr is considered week-to-week with a sprained AC joint suffered during the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Packers. Carr pledged on Wednesday he wouldn't return until he's capable of performing at his expected level.

Carr can safely be dropped in all formats.

Saints QB Derek Carr avoided a serious injury during Sunday's game against the Packers after leaving with a shoulder injury.

Saints QB Derek Carr is in the locker room being evaluated for an arm injury.

Carr injured his right arm after taking a sack in the third quarter against the Packers and was down in pain. Trainers held up his arm as he walked off the field. Jameis Winston is now in at quarterback for New Orleans.

Moreau isn't exactly an unknown quantity after four seasons and 12 touchdowns with the Raiders. Nobody quite knew when Moreau would be returning to football, however, after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the offseason. It would be impossible to know that detail based on his play in OTAs and minicamp. Moreau was a frequent target of quarterback Derek Carr throughout practice and participated in 11-on-11 drills without limitations. He worked with both the first and second team during OTAs and could compete with Juwan Johnson for snaps as the team's No. 1 or No. 2 tight end.

As seems to be the case every season since the Jimmy Graham years, the Saints TE situation looks like it will be muddy once again in 2023. Taysom Hill likely has the biggest ceiling, being that he will line up all over the field. Moreau and Johnson will look to cannibalize fantasy production away from one another, making them both undraftable.

The Saints are giving their new QB Derek Carr a 4-year deal, source said. With a big QB number coming, they'll make it work with their cap situation.

Carr is a competent (if unexciting) quarterback. He should provide an upgrade over Andy Dalton for the Saints' skill position players, specifically Chris Olave and Michael Thomas, if he returns. He also has developed a nice rapport with Darren Waller over the years, so Juwan Johnson may be able to build off of his breakout season. As for Carr, he has low-end fantasy QB2 value, especially if the Saints continue to give Taysom Hill snaps at quarterback.
