Derek Carr Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby both endorsed Rich Bisaccia retaining the head-coaching job permanently after their 26-19 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the wild-card game on Saturday. Bisaccia was promoted from special teams coordinator to interim head coach when Jon Gruden resigned on Oct. 11. "I think we can all think that he's the right guy," Carr said of Bisaccia. "He's proven that people listen to him. Our team listens to him. And I love him so much, I'm thankful for him." Crosby called Bisaccia a "great leader" for the Raiders. The Raiders are expected to consider Bisaccia as they search for a full-time head coach, but it might be unlikely that he'll retain head-coaching duties heading into the 2022 season.

It appears that the future of Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will be closely tied to the team's decision on what they do at head coach in the offseason. The Raiders and Carr have a mutual decision to make this offseason, and sources say the choice of the head coach will be a factor. Carr has made it clear that his preference is to stay in Vegas, but he has a year left on his five-year, $125 million deal and has earned a near top-of-the-market extension. Whether general manager Mike Mayock stays could also affect Carr's future. The 30-year-old signal-caller impressed both on and off the field during a year with extreme turmoil within the organization. Carr finished the regular season with a career-high 4,804 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 94 quarterback rating.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 24-of-31 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against the Indianapolis Colts. The signal-caller didn't play that well, but he was able to work with his medley of lackluster receivers to craft a win against a good team to keep his team in the hunt. Carr's hot start to the season was quickly debunked, and lately, his mediocrity in fantasy has been showcased. Still, it must be recognized that Carr's top receivers consist of Hunter Renfrow and Zay Jones with tight end Darren Waller out. Therefore, if the Raiders bring in more talent in the off-season, Carr could quickly become a late-round flier and comfortable waiver wire option next season. The 30-year-old is a decent QB2 or backup in Dynasty and Superflex leagues, but he will remain relatively irrelevant in standard leagues until further notice.
