New Orleans @ Indianapolis
Team Totals: Saints 22.5, Colts 21.5
Never a high-end producer even in his prime, Derek Carr enters Week 8 as fantasy’s QB27 in per-game fantasy scoring. He’s yet to reach 18 standard-league points in a single 2023 start. … Alvin Kamara has emerged as one of the league’s few bellcows since coming off suspension, averaging a career-high 26 touches for 109.4 yards per game. Benefiting from Captain Checkdown Carr, Kamara’s 39 targets lead all NFL backs despite his Weeks 1-3 absence. Kamara is a smash play against the Colts, who’ve yielded the league’s fourth-most fantasy points to enemy backs. … Chris Olave is a bet-on-talent WR2 play beneath Indy’s Lucas Oil Stadium dome. On throws from Carr, Olave leads the Saints in targets (62), catches (36), yards (425), and first-down conversions (23). Disappointing lately, Olave profiles as an enticing DFS tournament play at low ownership in an ideal environment. … Michael Thomas has seen 6+ targets in all seven games. Thomas is a zone-beating route runner, while Colts DC Gus Bradley is a staunch zone-coverage proponent.
