OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Buffalo Bills

Fresh off one of the best games of his career, Derek Carr now must go to Buffalo and face a Bills defense ranked fifth in our aFPA vs. QB rankings. Don't let recency bias cloud your judgment here. The Bills are allowing just 12.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, sixth-best. There are better Week 8 options for 1QB leagues, unless you're really in a bye week pickle.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Derek Carr hasn't had a usable fantasy week since Week 2, as he's either been injured or put up single-digit fantasy performances. On Thursday night, he gets a Chiefs defense that is middle of the road in our aFPA vs. QB rankings, and the Raiders implied team total of 22 is outside the top-10 for Week 7. He also hasn't scored more than 13.3 points in his last four games against the Chiefs. All signs point to benching Carr in standard one-QB leagues.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

It is unclear whether this game will be played in Oakland or Santa Clara, due to concerns about air quality with the wildfires. Not having home field advantage could be a logistical competitive disadvantage for this offense with Derek Carr likely to return from a back injury this week. Given these two risks, Carr has been bumped down outside the QB1 range in 12-team leagues for Week 6. The Chargers are also better than average in our aFPA vs. QB rankings.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Denver Broncos

Derek Carr goes to Denver for a tough matchup against the Broncos, a team he has only averaged 10.2 fantasy points against in his last three games. Carr also failed to reach six fantasy points on the road last week. Carr is not a starting option in one-QB leagues for Week 4.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Washington

The Raiders go cross-country, but it's on Sunday Night Football and the west to east trip issues should not be a factor due to the late kickoff. That's evidenced by Vegas assigning an implied team total second to only the Patriots this week for the silver and black. That makes Carr an upper-echelon QB1 in Week 3 against a Washington defense that gave up more than 18 points to Carson Wentz Week 1 before an easier match-up against Jared Goff Week 2. Start Carr with confidence.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New York Jets

The Raiders could not have hand-picked an easier home opener against the NFL's version of 'Trust the Process'. The Raiders have the second-highest implied team total in Vegas at 28.5 points. Fire up Carr as a top-10 option in Week 2 against a team he lit up for 4 touchdowns in 2015, after a respectable Week 1 outing of 18.7 points against the Titans.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tennessee Titans

Derek Carr opens the season with a matchup against a Titans secondary that struggled last season. Tennessee was dead last in our aFPA vs. quarterbacks last season and they were bottom-five overall in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Carr averaged 14.1 fantasy points per game on the road last season, below his overall season average of 16.8. Nevertheless, Carr should be considered a low-end QB1 for Week 1.
