Saints expect QB Derek Carr (oblique) to practice Wednesday

Oct 28, 2024

Head coach Dennis Allen said in his Monday press conference that he’s optimistic about Derek Carr’s potential return this weekend.

“Derek Carr had a throwing session again today, looked good in the throwing session,” Allen said. “I would expect him to be back out at practice again on Wednesday. And then we’ll go from there and see what his availability is this week. But I’m optimistic about it.”

Fantasy Impact:

Carr has been out since suffering an oblique injury against the Chiefs in Week 5. Rattler started the last three games for New Orleans, though he was benched in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Chargers for Haener. The Saints looked dominant over their first two games but have since dropped six-straight. In five games this year, Carr has completed 70.3 percent of his throws for 989 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions, the story said.

Texans WR Tank Dell was carted off the field Saturday after a bad knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Dell had just scored a touchdown but the way he landed caused the injury. NBC isn’t even showing certain angles because of how bad the injury looks to be. Dell’s leg was immobilized. Dell’s rookie season was ended prematurely due to a broken leg. Very unfortunate news for the young wide receiver.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill officially Questionable for Week 16

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee/illness) is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long, Davis Allen

Fantasy Impact:

This is awesome news for Higbee, who had a brutal injury last January but should see the field here in Week 16. This is a complete stay-away in typical fantasy leagues, but he's an interesting target in playoff-only formats, depending on whether or not you believe the Rams will be contenders.
