Derek Carr Week 13 Outlook - Cowboys at Saints

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 2nd 2021, 6:57am EST

The NFL generally does a good job of not putting one team at a disadvantage against another due to scheduling. This week's Washington-Las Vegas matchup is a glaring exception. The Raiders will have had nine days off after playing on Thanksgiving. The Football Team will have had only five days off after hosting the Seahawks on Monday night, and they'll have to make a near-cross-country flight for this one. Could that give Carr a slight edge in preparation for this week? Maybe. Even without the extra rest, this looks like a good matchup for Carr. Washington's pass defense ranks 30th in DVOA and is giving up a league-high 25.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
