Scouting report

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Derek Carr at Oakland Raiders
If the Raiders rise from the ashes down the road, they may very well point to last Sunday’s victory over the 49ers as the start of something special. That is especially true for rookie quarterback Derek Carr, who shook off a 52-0 loss to St. Louis in Week 13 to burn the once-vaunted San Francisco defense for 254 yards and three touchdowns. Many quarterbacks would have folded after such a terrible loss and Carr came out swinging. Maybe Carr will not turn out to be a superstar, but at least the Raiders do not have another JaMarcus Russell on their hands. If you have Carr in a dynasty league, you have reason to be hopeful. Nonetheless, redraft value is elusive for Carr right now, especially with the Chiefs desperate for a win to stay in the playoff race.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Derek Carr vs. San Francisco 49ers
In many ways, you have to feel for Derek Carr. What rookie quarterback wouldn’t struggle after being thrown into the fire with the wretched Raiders? Last Sunday represented the lowest point in Carr’s inaugural campaign, as Oakland was shut out 52-0 by the Rams and Carr threw two interceptions before being lifted for Matt Schaub. Unfortunately for Derek, more low points are ahead against an angry San Francisco squad smarting from a loss to Seattle. You can find him once again at the bottom of the board.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Derek Carr at St. Louis Rams

After a rough patch, Derek Carr gave the observers who believe his future is bright a reason to smile. Late in Week 12 with the game on the line, Carr drove the Raiders to the winning touchdown, finding James Jones with a bullet in the end zone for the decisive score. While Carr was clutch, the fantasy productivity was not there. He threw for 174 yards and the lone touchdown toss to Jones. There is no denying Derek’s promise, but fantasy owners need to continue to shy away, especially with the St. Louis defense on the rise of late.

Week 12 – Derek Carr vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The struggles of Derek Carr continued on Sunday in San Diego. Against a Chargers team he had burned previously for four touchdown passes, Carr was only able to muster 172 yards and zero scores. With Kansas City on a roll and yielding the fewest passing yards per game in the NFL, Carr has nothing to offer in any format.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Derek Carr at San Diego Chargers
The first time rookie Derek Carr played San Diego back in Week 6, he threw for 282 yards and four touchdowns. It was his first big game as a pro and it was heralded as the first of many. However, since that Sunday, Carr has struggled more often than not. He threw two interceptions in Week 10 against Denver and failed to top 200 passing yards while throwing for two scores. Even when you factor in his past success against the Chargers, Derek is going to be a dicey option in two-quarterback formats.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Derek Carr vs. Denver Broncos
As he has done pretty much all year, rookie Derek Carr struggled some in a Week 9 loss to Seattle, but was not an embarrassment. While Carr threw two interceptions against the world champions, he also threw for 194 yards and two touchdowns and kept Oakland competitive. Although Denver’s pass defense has been the weaker part of their defense, the Broncos will be in an angry mood after getting picked apart by New England’s Tom Brady. Carr will get some opportunities as the Raiders are expected to be playing from behind quite a bit, making him an adequate starter in two-quarterback leagues.

OAK QB Derek Carr - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Derek Carr at Seattle Seahawks
Since throwing for four touchdowns in week six in what was heralded at the time as a breakout game, Derek Carr has been in a slump, throwing for just one since. Quarterbacks, both old and young, tend to struggle in Seattle. And the Seahawks appeared to find their groove last weekend in a hard-fought win over Carolina. Carr is at the bottom of the board and needs to be avoided, even in two-quarterback leagues.
