Derek Carr

So I have Palmer and Manning on my team. Palmer has a Bye this week so I have to start Manning @ Indy. I just saw Carr available on WW. Is he worth a pick-up to play in spots long term? Should I drop Manning for Carr?I have 3 TE's on my team, maybe I can drop one for Carr? I have Davis, Watson, and Eifert.

I'm currently in 2nd place in my 10 team league and have been riding Palmer since week 4. My thinking is Manning is being helped by his D tremendously so throwing TD's may not be a concern to him as he's getting plenty with the run game. Carr on the other hand is slinging it and looks to just be getting comfortable with his corps. Thoughts?

Raiders vs. a feisty Def in Pittsburgh, could be a great play for Carr, as they will need garbage time passing. I would drop Davis, and pick up Carr. Denver vs. Indy could be a great match up as well for Manning. Still, I would snag Carr for Davis regardless of who you start.

I agree with PhiCin.
