OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
In Week 9, Carr was a streaming option and finished as the QB12. He finished two points higher than Josh Allen, QB13, and 0.1 points behind Deshaun Watson, QB11. Carr was 20/31 for 289 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions.

The Chargers defense is a run funnel, which means they are better against quarterbacks than running backs. They are sixth best against quarterbacks but seventh worst against running backs, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. On paper, this matchup is better for Josh Jacobs than Derek Carr. However, the over/under (48.5) is decent and Carr could benefit from this game turning into a shoot-out. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr ranked as a high end QB2.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Detroit Lions
In Week 8, Carr was a streaming option and he did not disappoint. He was 18/30 for 285 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and finished as the QB6 on the road against the Houston Texans.

We are going back to the well in Week 9. Carr has another good streaming matchup against a porous Lions secondary. The Lions put cornerback Darius Slay on the trading block but did not trade him. Slay missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury but is projected to start this Sunday. Slay’s presence gives a slight downgrade to the matchup but the Lions secondary as a whole is a matchup to exploit. The Lions are eighth-worst against the quarterback position, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. This game has the second-highest over/under (50.5). 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr ranked as the QB12.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans

In Week 7, Carr was 22/28 for 293 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on the road against a tough Green Bay secondary.

It’s scary to say but Carr is a quarterback streaming option on the road against the Texans. The Texans are ninth-worst against the quarterback position, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. This game has the second-highest over/under (51.5). Also, Tyrell Williams is expected to play, which will help give Carr a true wide receiver threat. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr ranked as the QB17.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Green Bay Packers
The Raiders had a bye in Week 6.

Carr could struggle this week against a strong Green Bay secondary. Their defense is seventh-best against the quarterback position, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. Carr will also be without his right tackle, Trent Brown, who is inactive for Week 7 with a calf injury. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr ranked as the QB22. The Raiders offense is only implied for 20 points. Better quarterback streaming options should be available.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Chicago Bears in London

Through four weeks, Carr is the QB22. In Week 4 against the Colts, Carr was 21/31 for 189 yards, two touchdowns, and finished as the QB18.

Technically, this is a home for the Raiders but it will take place in London. Carr’s struggles will most likely continue against a stout Bears defense, who rank ninth best against the quarterback position, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr ranked as the QB27. The Raiders offense is implied for just 17.75 points. Please read our weekly quarterback streaming article for better starting options.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts

The Raiders quickly fell behind the Vikings and the majority of the game was played in a negative game script. Even with this game script, Carr only threw for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Through 3 Weeks, he ranks 27th in deep-ball rate among 34 qualified signal-callers, per Pro Football Focus. During the preseason, Gruden publicly told Carr to attempt more downfield passes but it looks like his request fell on deaf ears.

Carr may be forced into negative game script again because the Raiders are road underdogs (+7) and only implied for 19.5 points against the Indianapolis Colts. 4for4’s rankings expert John Paulsen has Carr ranked as the QB27. Carr owners should look for better streaming options.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Minnesota Vikings

Carr had a fast start against the Chiefs. He threw a touchdown pass to Tyrell Williams to give the Raiders a 10-0 first quarter lead. However, it was all downhill in the final three quarters. He was 23/38 for 198 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and finished as the QB27 with 9.7 fantasy points. Carr was a decent streaming option against a poor Chiefs secondary but he was not able to capitalize on the matchup.

Unfortunately for Carr, he will face a very difficult Week 3 matchup on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. The Raiders are road underdogs (+8) and only implied for 17.75 points. Our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric has the Vikings defense ranked eighth best against quarterbacks. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Carr as the QB28. Carr owners should look for better streaming options.
