Derek Carr Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr may be in the QB1 conversation this week against a bad Falcons Defense that ranks 29th against opposing quarterbacks. The Falcons defense has allowed the second-most passing yards, tied for the second-most passing touchdowns, and a passer rating of 105.9, which is the worst in the NFL. They have also allowed the most passing plays over 20 yards. Carr has been a very good road quarterback this season, completing about 68 percent of his passes, with nine touchdowns and just one interception. Carr has not put up the volume numbers this season to regularly be a QB1 but is worthy of consideration this week due to a favorable matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a Sunday night loss against the Chiefs. Carr played very well the entire game, and the interception came late in the fourth quarter that sealed the victory for the Chiefs. It was a good a good bounce-back performance for Carr, and it was the first time he threw for three touchdowns since Week 5. He had a passer rating of almost 120, which is higher than what he has for the season so far. Carr is a fringe QB1 and a definite QB2 in most weeks. He has a favorable matchup against the Falcons next week, so he will likely be able to produce another solid performance.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has not put up a solid fantasy performances over his last three games but will look to bounce back against the Chiefs in Week 11. Carr has just three touchdowns over the last three weeks and has failed to throw for over 200 yards in each of those games. However, he had a solid performance against the Chiefs in Week 5 and will need another good performance if the Raiders are going to win this week. The Chiefs Defense ranks 16th against opposing quarterbacks and have allowed the second least passing touchdowns in the league. Carr has been solid at home this season with seven touchdowns and a passer rating of about 104. He likely lacks QB1 value this week but should definitely have QB2 value.
