2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pick a metric from last year and chances are it was Carr’s worst since his rookie season. And that’s saying something considering he had one of the league’s best wide receivers in Davante Adams. Carr’s on-target percentage was 67.9 -- only Baker Mayfield and Zach Wilson were lower among qualified QBs. Carr looked deep plenty (71 targets beyond 20 yards, 5th), but he couldn’t connect on many of those throws, ranking 25th in completion percentage (32.4). He was benched the final two games and then released shortly after the season. In March, he signed a four-year $150 million deal with New Orleans, where he'll have two reliable weapons in WR Chris Olave and RB Alvin Kamara. A healthy season out of Michael Thomas, who played 10 games the past three years, would go a long way, as the Saints otherwise will need sustained contributions from 2022 UDFA Rashid Shaheed (377 receiving yards in Weeks 13-18) or undersized tight end Juwan Johnson (seven TDs in a seven-game stretch). Carr should have value in two-QB leagues, but he's got a tough path to value in single-QB formats as a sub-elite passer who doesn't have dominant weapons and provides next to nothing on the ground (845 yards, six TDs in nine seasons).

Lands four-year deal with Saints
Carr signed a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Carr's contract includes $100 million in total guarantees, with $70 million effectively fully guaranteed. He thus becomes the first big-name quarterback of the 2023 offseason to find a new home, just weeks before his 32nd birthday. It remains to be seen whether the NFL future of Michael Thomas (toe) involves any more time with New Orleans, but the likes of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave represent solid offensive playmakers for Carr. The four-time Pro Bowler threw for 3,522 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 15 games with the Raiders last season. His passing yardage total was the third-lowest mark of his nine-year career.

Rashee Rice isn't the only Chiefs wide receiver moving up draft boards this May. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are slipping with WRs becoming more popular in the early rounds.

Jerry Donabedian compares May ADP results from four different best ball sites and finds that young WRs tend to be cheapest on DraftKings.

Is it too early to look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft? Maybe, but that won't stop me from putting together a 2024 first round mock draft.

For the second year in a row, Carr thrived with the long ball. Unlike his dink-and-dunk Oakland years, Carr is now a downfield passer, using his strong arm to stretch the field. He attempted 81 passes of at least 20 yards last season, second only to Tom Brady and twice as many as he had just two years before. He went downfield on 12.9 percent of his passes, fifth most in the league (min. 450 attempts). While his average target depth dropped slightly from 2020, he still ranked ninth at 8.1 yards. His YPA was nearly the same as the year before (7th), and the aggressive approach combined with a 17-game schedule and a career-high 626 attempts resulted in 701 more passing yards than his career high from 2020. And all of that came during a tumultuous season for the franchise (on multiple fronts) and with a thin receiving corps that saw TE Darren Waller limited to 11 games. With Davante Adams now joining Waller and 1,000-yard slot receiver Hunter Renfrow, Carr has more fantasy upside than ever. Even if he loses some attempts (no certainty) under new head coach and play caller Josh McDaniels, the veteran QB should make up for it with additional TD passes. Assuming McDaniels doesn’t throttle back the downfield passing game, Carr will be viable in one-QB leagues, though his lack of rushing probably prevents him from jumping into the top 10 of quarterbacks.
