Sleeper: Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys defense smothered the Browns in Week 1, shutting down the offense for the majority of the season opener and looking like a squad capable of carrying Dallas to the Super Bowl it has long chased since the mid-1990s.

The New Orleans Saints, however, are not the Browns.

Derek Carr and Co. embarrassed a bad Carolina Panthers defense last Sunday, hanging 47 on them en route to the biggest one-sided victory of the week. Carr, in particular, impressed under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, going 19-23 for 200 yards and three touchdowns, including a 59-yarder to Rashid Shaheed.

He finished sixth among quarterbacks for the week with 21.3 points.

The Cowboys defense is for better and worse, an aggressive squad. They will get their sacks and compile interceptions, but there are also many opportunities for opposing offenses to exploit that aggression to the tune of big plays and touchdowns.

If the Saints’ pass protection holds up against Micah Parsons and the Dallas pass rush, Carr has the potential for a big day.

Managers who had Jordan Love as their starter should consider picking up Carr from the waiver wire and starting him Sunday. The veteran and former MVP candidate with the Raiders is available in 83 percent of Yahoo and 96 percent of ESPN leagues.
