Saints concerned over QB Derek Carr's hand injury

Sun Dec 8 6:27pm ET
Field Level Media

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr sustained a left hand injury and possible concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 14-11 victory over the New York Giants.

The Saints feared Carr fractured the hand, per reports, and he was slated to undergo further testing. He reportedly had a cast on the hand when exiting the stadium.

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said Carr may have to enter the concussion protocol.

Carr was injured when he tried to leap for a first down late in the final quarter. He was near the sideline and went airborne, landing hard on the left hand with this face then slamming into the turf as he landed out of bounds with 3:59 left in the game.

Jake Haener finished up the game for the Saints.

Carr completed 20 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception for New Orleans.

Overall, Carr has passed for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. He missed three games earlier this season due to an oblique injury.

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 14

Player Notes
Mac Jones Dec 8 10:10pm CT
Mac Jones

The New York Jets defense struggled in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Jets were unable to manage any sacks or force any takeaways while giving up 375 yards of total offense to Miami. That included allowing the Dolphins to put together a 70-yard touchdown-scoring drive on the first possession in overtime. Despite the rough outing, New York has a chance to bounce back in a plus matchup against a Mac Jones-led Jacksonville Jaguars team in Week 15.

Garrett Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven of his 10 targets for 114 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Wilson broke out of a three-game lull to lead the Jets in receiving in the close loss to their divisional rivals, although it was Davante Adams who caught Aaron Rodgers' lone touchdown pass. The 100-yard receiving game was Wilson's first since October 27 against the New England Patriots. He will look to stay hot in a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.

Jalen Reagor Dec 8 10:00pm CT
Jalen Reagor

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Reagor (finger) injured his finger on Sunday Night Football against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs and is considered questionable to return. Before getting hurt, Reagor was targeted just once and caught it for a gain of only four yards. In addition to Reagor, tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was injured in the first half and is questionable to return. Leading receiver, rookie Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder), was inactive for the Week 14 contest, so LA's receiving corps has really thinned out on Sunday night. Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer are seeing more targets as a result, with Stone Smartt now serving as the top pass-catching tight end. If Reagor does not return, Derius Davis would be in line to be the WR3. Reagor entered Week 14 action with just six catches for 96 yards in seven games in 2024, so he hasn't been on the fantasy radar.

Tyler Conklin Dec 8 10:00pm CT
Tyler Conklin

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught three of his five targets for 33 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Conklin finished fourth on the Jets in targets in the close loss while posting his best yardage total since October 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran tight end has been trending up over the past two weeks, catching seven of his 10 targets for 65 yards over that span. He will be a low-end TE2 heading into Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Anders Carlson

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made all four of his field goals and added two extra points in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Carlson hit field goals from 28, 30, 40, and 42 yards out but it wasn't quite enough to propel the Jets to the win. The veteran kicker has now hit all 11 of his field-goal attempts while kicking for both the Jets and the San Francisco 49ers this season. He will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.

Isaiah Davis

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and a touchdown while catching three of his six targets for 27 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. With Breece Hall (knee) inactive, Davis didn't get the start but he overshadowed the more hyped Braelon Allen, finding the end zone on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. Davis seems unlikely to wrestle away the lead-back role from Allen if Hall misses another game but he has become interesting as a handcuff option in fantasy leagues moving forward. He should be a priority waiver add this week as the Jets prepare to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Will Dissly Dec 8 9:50pm CT
Will Dissly

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Sunday night divisional showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs and is questionable to return for the second half. Dissly hurt himself on the final play of the first half on a 15-yard reception. The 28-year-old caught both of his targets in a slow offensive first half for the Bolts for 19 receiving yards. The Chargers are also without rookie receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) for this one, so quarterback Justin Herbert is running thin on aerial weapons if Dissly doesn't return to this contest. If Dissly is unable to return to action on Sunday night in KC, Stone Smartt will likely benefit the most at the position, with Tucker Fisk also potentially getting on the field more often. To begin the fourth quarter, Smart has also caught both of his targets for 45 yards.

Davante Adams Dec 8 9:50pm CT
Davante Adams

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of his 11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Adams hauled in Aaron Rodgers' lone touchdown pass on a three-yard catch in the third quarter, the 79th time the two have hooked up for a score across both the regular and postseason. The veteran receiver now has a touchdown in two straight games and in three of his past five. He is shaping up as a solid WR2 with the fantasy playoffs approaching and will be an excellent fantasy play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.

Jauan Jennings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings did his part to secure an important 38-13 home win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 27-year-old once again led the team in targets with eight, which he converted into seven receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Jennings had struggled to get much going the past couple of weeks following a 10-catch performance in Week 11 versus Seattle but rewarded those who stuck with him in a tough matchup on paper. Both touchdowns came on first-half crossing routes against a surprisingly baffled Chicago zone defense. Jennings' managers should feel comfortable firing him up again for a Week 15 Thursday night divisional clash with the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara.

Aaron Rodgers Dec 8 9:40pm CT
Aaron Rodgers

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of his 39 passes for 339 yards and one touchdown in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Rodgers threw for a season-high in yards but he was unable to manage more than one touchdown pass in the close loss to Miami. His lone touchdown pass was a three-yard completion to Davante Adams in the third quarter, the pair's 79th touchdown across the regular and postseason. Rodgers now has 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season. He will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 15.

Braelon Allen Dec 8 9:40pm CT
Braelon Allen

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball 11 times for 43 yards and caught four of his five targets for 38 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Allen got the chance to start with Breece Hall (knee) inactive for the game but he failed to live up to expectations, turning in a pedestrian 3.9 yards per carry in the high-scoring loss while it was fellow running back Isaiah Davis who found the end zone on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. Allen's fantasy value heading into Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars will hinge on Hall's availability.

Cordarrelle Patterson

The Cleveland Browns defense allowed 27 points while picking up one sack and forcing one turnover in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Cleveland failed to take advantage of the Steelers being without one of their top playmakers as George Pickens (groin) did not suit up for the contest. The Browns got their lone sack from Myles Garrett, who now has 11 on the season, while they also recovered a fumble by Cordarrelle Patterson. Cleveland will look to regroup heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Aidan O'Connell

Per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, the Las Vegas Raiders fear that quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to Schultz, O'Connell will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Ouch. It's another potentially massive blow to the Raiders' offense, as they've already lost one quarterback for the year (Gardner Minshew [collarbone]). Signal-caller Desmond Ridder took over for the 26-year-old upon his exit and figures to be the team's starter moving forward. In more unfortunate news for Las Vegas, the injuries on the offensive side of the ball continue to pile up. We'll likely get an update on AOC over the next 24 hours.

David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught seven of his 13 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Njoku led the team with 13 targets while hauling in a 15-yard touchdown from Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end has been producing excellent fantasy numbers of late with three touchdowns and 30 targets over his past two contests. While he isn't doing much work down the field, Njoku's production at the tight end position has been a huge boost for fantasy managers. Njoku remains a must-start in fantasy heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dustin Hopkins

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins missed both of his field goals and added two extra points in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Hopkins missed attempts from 38 and 43 yards out while the game was still close as his season-long accuracy issues continued. The veteran kicker has now made 16 of his 25 attempts through 13 games. He will look to regroup heading into a home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.

Kenneth Gainwell

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell rushed three times for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He also brought in both of his targets for seven yards receiving. The Panthers held tough with Philly all afternoon, with RB Saquon Barkley's production the only of note out of the Eagles' skill players. Still, Gainwell was efficient with his touches, averaging 8.7 yards per carry against a porous Carolina rush defense. The 25-year-old will struggle to put together impressive stat lines while playing behind arguably the league's best running back. However, he remains an elite, must-own handcuff on one of the league's better offenses and would have immediate value and upside if Barkley ever missed time. Gainwell and the Eagles host the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday in Week 15.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught five of his six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Jeudy got the Browns off to a fast start in the contest, hauling in a 35-yard touchdown to give Cleveland a 7-3 lead in the first quarter. Cleveland's leading receiving in Week 14, Jeudy has been on fire of late with three touchdown catches over his past four contests. The veteran receiver is shaping up as a must-start with the fantasy playoffs approaching next week. He will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 15.

Elijah Moore

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught three of his four targets for 34 yards in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Moore was quiet in the loss to the Steelers, finishing third on the team in receiving just one week after posting 111 receiving yards in a loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout has been a bit up-and-down of late but he's still worth keeping on fantasy rosters heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Taylor Dec 8 9:10pm CT
Patrick Taylor

San Francisco 49ers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. saw his heaviest involvement of the season during a 38-13 Week 14 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Santa Clara. Taylor Jr. was, as predicted, an afterthought to rookie Issac Guerendo in the absence of Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle). The 26-year-old former Packer finished with seven carries for 25 yards, including a three-yard touchdown run to salt the game away after Guerendo (foot) exited late, not to return. Regardless of the touchdown, Taylor Jr. was mediocre on a per-carry basis, looking the part of a fourth-string running back. If Guerendo were to miss Week 15, Taylor Jr. would be a worthy waiver target mostly because of the premium role he'd step into, but shouldn't command near as much FAAB as Guerendo did last week, not least because he'd be far less likely to contribute as much as a receiver. That said, Taylor Jr. and the Niners get a vulnerable Rams rush defense at home in Week 15.

Jameis Winston

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston completed 24 of his 41 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 28 yards on four carries in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Winston got the Browns off to a hot start, finding Jerry Jeudy for a 35-yard touchdown to give his team an early 7-3 lead but he struggled to get much going after that as his second touchdown came with the game mostly over about halfway through the fourth quarter. Winston has now thrown for 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the season. He will take on the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 15.
