Analysis

The Saints scored 35 of their points before halftime, including all three of the TDs that Carr had a hand in, so he didn't have a whole lot to do in the second half. The New Orleans offense under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has been a revelation to begin the season, scoring touchdowns on 11 of its first 21 possessions, and Carr already has three TD passes of 50 or more yards through two weeks, including a 70-yarder to Rashid Shaheed on a deep fly route in the first quarter and a 57-yarder to Alvin Kamara on a screen pass in the second against Dallas. Carr will look to continue the hottest start of his career in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

Analysis

The Saints absolutely dismantled the visitors, scoring on their first nine drives of the game before finally being forced to punt midway through the fourth quarter. Carr led the way with one of the most efficient performances of his career, hitting Rashid Shaheed for a 59-yard score on New Orleans' first possession before finding Foster Moreau (head) for a three-yard TD late in the first quarter and Juwan Johnson for a 16-yard touchdown just before halftime. Carr's first season with the team was viewed as a disappointment, but new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is off to a flying start in reshaping the attack. However, the unit will face a much tougher test in Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Analysis

Carr suited up for each of New Orleans' first two preseason games and completed a combined nine of 15 pass attempts for 59 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He's the clear No. 1 quarterback for the Saints heading into the season, so the team will use the final exhibition contest to assess Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler, each of whom is expected to play two quarters Sunday, per Underhill. Haener and Rattler are in close to a dead heat for the backup QB role to open the campaign, so how each performs against the Titans could determine the winner of that battle.

Analysis

Carr fared better in his second preseason showing after completing just two passes last week against the Cardinals. The veteran failed to reach the 4,000-yard milestone for the second consecutive season in 2023 after achieving the feat four times in as many years prior. The 33-year-old doesn't offer the upside in fantasy he once did, but he still is a reliable starter with little competition at his position heading into Week 1.

Analysis

Not only will Carr and the rest of the Saints' healthy starters suit up this weekend, they'll get a fair amount of run. On two possessions last Saturday in Arizona, Carr completed just two of six passes for 12 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, so coach Dennis Allen likely will want to see the offense function a bit more crisply Sunday. In his first campaign in New Orleans in 2023, Carr completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 17 regular-season contests.

Analysis

Carr played on the Saints' first two possessions and counted a 10-yard completion to Chris Olave on his second pass attempt as the highlight of his short night. The veteran signal-caller is locked in as New Orleans' top quarterback heading into his second season with the franchise, although a lackluster campaign could put his long-term future with the team into question.
