Scouting report

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City may only be ranked 25th in aFPA to QBs, but Carr has failed to reach 16 fantasy points in nine of 11 games this year, including four straight. He has receivers at this point in the season that wouldn't make the roster of a lot of teams. A very high over/under in this game keeps the Raiders from the bottom teams in implied team total for Week 13, but Carr's production continues to keep him away ... far away ... from fantasy lineups.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Baltimore Ravens

The Raiders travel across the country as a double-digit underdog, tied for the lowest implied team total of Week 12 at just 16 points. Baltimore also ranks top 10 in aFPA to QBs. To make things worse, Derek Carr's receivers are down to Marcell Ateman, Seth Roberts and Dwayne Harris. Woof. Carr has struggled already this season, failing to reach 16 fantasy points in all but two games this season. Carr is not a viable option in single QB leagues this week.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Arizona Cardinals

The Raiders are so bad at this point in the season that Oakland is a 5.5-point underdog to a two-win team this week. The Raiders implied team total of 17.5 points is also the lowest on the slate this week by a full two points. That's not a recipe for fantasy success. For Derek Carr, the Cardinals are second in the league in aFPA to QBs. If you weren't convinced he's not a viable fantasy QB this year after he threw it into the ground on 4th down last week, perhaps back-to-back single-digit fantasy performances will. Woof.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Let's check in on the Raiders offense as they begin the second half of their season: 19th in total offense, 28th in scoring offense and 24th in rushing offense. The Jon Gruden era is going swimmingly so far. So you still want to know if you should start Derek Carr in fantasy this week? Well, he hasn't reached 14 points in his last four games against the Chargers and has only two games with more than 16 points this season. You do the math.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at San Francisco 49ers (Thursday)

Dare we say trading Amari Cooper might have been addition by subtraction? Carr lit up the Colts last week and now gets another viable match-up against the struggling 49ers, who are just 29th in aFPA to QBs. This game has a low implied team total, but the 49ers may be starting a third-string QB, which could lead to more volume for Carr and the offense. He's a viable match-up based streamer if you're in need of a bye-week back-up in deep leagues.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Raiders come out of the bye week without their top RB (Marshawn Lynch, injured reserve) and WR (Amari Cooper, trade) for the rest of the season. A banged-up offensive line doesn't help, either. This game does have an over/under north of 50, but Oakland's implied team total is only middle of the pack in Week 8. Carr has just one fantasy relevant game this season. He's a low-end QB2 in Week 8.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks (London)

The real Derek Carr reared his ugly fantasy head in Week 5. He's now failed to throw multiple touchdowns in all but one game this season with a 7-to-8 TD-to-INT ratio. Traveling to the UK is never easy on teams, and the Seahawks are top half in the NFL in aFPA to QBs. Carr's inconsistency does not make him a viable option in Week 6 for 1QB leagues.
