Derek Carr Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said that, "We feel really good about the quarterback position" heading into next week's draft. Quarterback Derek Carr quietly had one of his better seasons in 2019, but the Raiders brought in Marcus Mariota in free agency as a fallback option in case Carr can't improve the offense even more going forward. Mayock also said, "We need to get better at wideout." Las Vegas will have a shot at one of the top QB prospects with two picks (No. 12, No. 19) in the first round, but it sounds like they could ignore signal-caller and go after one of the top receivers in an excellent draft class for the position. Tyrell Williams, Nelson Agholor and Hunter Renfrow are the team's top three wideouts as of right now.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden had some nice things to say about quarterback Derek Carr on Thursday. "I love what Derek Carr did, love what he brings to our team and anxious to continue to build around him," Gruden said. "I really think Derek is a heck of a player and I got a lot of respect for what he has done with some tough circumstances." Carr's future with the Raiders is in question with rumors connecting Las Vegas to Tom Brady, who will become a free agent next month. Carr had a career-high 70.4 completion percentage and threw for a career-high 4,054 yards with 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2019. Still, that might've been more of a ceiling for Carr, and the Raiders would love to make a splash in their new home with Brady. If Carr remains the team's QB going into 2020, he'll serve as a low-ceiling QB2.

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock left open the possibility that the team will look to upgrade over quarterback Derek Carr this offseason. "Every position gets evaluated every year, and if we can upgrade it, we will," Mayock said. Carr had a career-high 70.4 completion percentage and a career-high 4,054 passing yards, but he underwhelmed with just 21 touchdown passes over a full season. With Tom Brady potentially becoming available on the free-agent market next month, the Raiders could look to make a splash in their first season in Las Vegas and land the future Hall of Famer. Even if they don't and Carr remains the starter for the Black and Silver, he'll be a low-ceiling QB2 in fantasy.
