Fantasy Football Player Notes

Carr might not be the sexiest name in fantasy, but he was amazing down the stretch last season. In Weeks 12-18 last year, he was the QB15 in fantasy points per game, but that doesn't do justice to how good he was. Among 33 qualifying quarterbacks in that span, he was 11th in yards per attempt, third in passing touchdowns, second in CPOE, and eighth in fantasy points per dropback. He's not a bad QB2/streaming option this season, but I wouldn't look to plug him into lineups in Week 1. Carr draws a Carolina pass defense that last year allowed the sixth-lowest yards per attempt, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and the third-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

Hill is the ultimate wildcard at tight end. He finished last year as the TE15, but that doesn't really convey how valuable he was in fantasy. Hill managed seven outings where he was a top-10 fantasy tight end (TE6, TE6, TE3, TE6, TE6, TE10, TE8). He contributed in the passing game and on the ground with 692 total yards from scrimmage with six touchdowns. Hill will play a Swiss army knife role again for New Orleans in 2024. If you need a dice roll any week that could finish with TE1 numbers, Hill is your guy.
