OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Philadelphia Eagles

The Raiders go cross-country for a Christmas night battle with the Eagles. However, there is little upside in this matchup for Derek Carr. He's failed to reach 18 fantasy points in seven straight weeks with some real clunkers mixed in, and Oakland faces a Philadelphia defense that is top 10 in aFPA against QBs. Find other options in Week 16.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Raiders face the Cowboys in a must-win game for their playoff hopes. Oakland has an implied team total in Vegas below the top half of teams for Week 15. Low QB1s in 12-team leagues this season have averaged around 16-17 fantasy points per game. Carr has not had a week with that many points since Week 7. At this critical juncture of the season, you can't start him with any confidence.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs-Raiders game has the second-highest over/under in Vegas for Week 14, and Chiefs top corner Marcus Peters has been suspended by the team (although he's played poorly anyway). Carr racked up 30.2 points on the Chiefs earlier this year, but most of that was due to Amari Cooper's rare breakout game. Amari Cooper is likely out this week; however, the ceiling is undeniable for Carr this week, as Kansas City is dead last in aFPA vs. QBs this season. However, the floor is still low, as his other previous games before this season against the Chiefs suggest. The wide range of outcomes reflects our ranking for him this week. If you have a safer option, it may be best to use him in the fantasy playoffs.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. New York Giants

Derek Carr is facing a Giants defense that is ranked 24th in aFPA versus quarterbacks this year and just lost CB Janoris Jenkins to IR. However, Carr will be without his best two receivers in Michael Crabtree (suspension) and Amari Cooper (ankle, councussion). That factor means you should not start him in 1QB leagues, as he already has four straight games where he has not been a top-12 QB.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Denver Broncos

The Raiders offense isn't consistent this season. However, the Broncos aren't the stingy fantasy defense we've come to know over the past three weeks, allowing 22.3 points per game in that span to Carson Wentz, Tom Brady, and Andy Dalton. Carr is still too inconsistent to start in 1QB leagues though, as he's had three straight weeks under 15 fantasy points.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. New England Patriots (game in Mexico City)

Hola amigos! The Raiders head south of the border to face the Patriots in Mexico City, a defense that has allowed the second-most points to opposing quarterbacks. The Patriots are also way down in our aFPA vs. QB rankings (31st). Consider Carr a mid-to-low-end QB1 for Week 11.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Miami Dolphins

Carr appears to be matchup dependent this season, as he followed a 30-point performance against a below average Kansas City defense with a 12.5-point performance at Buffalo. Against the Dolphins this week, Carr gets another good matchup, as the Dolphins rank 22nd in our aFPA vs. QB rankings. Consider him a low-end QB1 in Week 9.
