Saints' Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) clears protocols, will start Week 14
What it means:
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) will start Week 14's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to Nick Underhill.
Carr has cleared concussion protocol and will start Week 14's clash with the Panthers. Jameis Winston will remain on the bench. Chris Olave (illness) is also expected to play.
The Saints are 5.5-point favorites over the Panthers in Week 14. Their implied team total of 21.50 points is the ninth-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.

New Orleans' Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) expected to play in Week 14
What it means:
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) is expected to play in Week 14's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Carr is listed as questionable but logged a full practice on Friday and is expected to be available to face the Panthers, according Nick Underhill. Chris Olave (illness) is also expected to play despite being listed as questionable. If Carr is available, Jameis Winston will remain on the bench. Taysom Hill (foot, hand) is also listed as questionable. If Hill is ruled out, and Carr is active, Carr could handle more snaps in the red zone than he usually does.
The Saints are 5.5-point favorites over the Panthers in Week 14. Their implied team total of 21.50 points is the ninth-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.

New Orleans' Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) questionable for Week 14
What it means:
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) is questionable for Week 14's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Carr remains in the NFL's concussion protocol but logged a full practice on Friday and is listed as questionable to face the Panthers on Sunday. Earlier in the week, the Saints indicated that Carr's concussion was the only thing keeping him from being under center. If he is able to clear protocols before Sunday, expect him to start against the Panthers. If he is ruled out, Jameis Winston is expected to get the start. Whoever is under center could be without Chris Olave (illness) who has the flu and is uncertain to play.
The Saints are 5.5-point favorites over the Panthers in Week 14. Their implied team total of 21.50 points is the ninth-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.

Derek Carr (concussion/rib/shoulder) limited again Thursday for Saints
What it means:
New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion/rib/shoulder) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report for Week 14 versus the Carolina Panthers.
Carr is somehow trending toward playing on Sunday, despite being in concussion protocol for the second time in less than a month. Jameis Winston is expected to start for the first time this season if Carr is unavailable. Taysom Hill would also be more involved at quarterback, but he hasn't practiced this week due to foot and hand injuries.
The Panthers' pass defense ranks 20th in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, but their run defense is the worst in the league, so the Saints may just elect to pound the rock. They allow the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks and second-most to running backs.
