Draft note

by John Paulsen

Carr finished the season as the No. 15 fantasy quarterback despite losing his WR1 (Antonio Brown) early and then his WR2 (Tyrell Williams) for a few weeks midseason. Williams was never quite right, so Carr was playing with a short deck for most of the year. The Raiders drafted Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards, and hybrid back/receiver Lynn Bowden, so Carr’s weapons will be much improved in 2020. Carr has pretty severe home/away splits over the past two seasons, averaging 16.5 fantasy points at home and just 12.2 points on the road, so he should be a worthwhile streamer in home games in 2020.

Raiders shake up quarterbacks

The Raiders are making some changes in their quarterback room.

Marcus Mariota, the backup quarterback who has been struggling with a strained pectoral muscle, has been placed on injured reserve. Under the NFL’s rules for the 2020 season, that means Mariota can return after three weeks.

DeShone Kizer, who spent last season with the Raiders, has been added to their practice squad. A 2017 second-round pick of the Browns, Kizer has some playing experience, both in Cleveland and in Green Bay, and could be called upon in an emergency.

Related players: Derek Carr, Nathan Peterman

Fantasy Impact:

Carr, of course, remains the starter but the only other healthy QB on the roster is Peterman at this point.

LV QB Derek Carr - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs

Derek Carr is having an efficient, albeit not particularly prolific season. He’s completing 73.6% of his passes and has zero interceptions. He’s also averaging two touchdowns and 274 yards per game, which are quality QB2 numbers in most leagues, but not good enough to be a consistent fantasy starter in the modern NFL.

This week, Carr faces a Chiefs defense that ranks sixth in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. Expect similar totals from Carr to what we saw the past two weeks. A couple touchdowns and 250-325 yards sounds about right, with a little turnover downside. The Chiefs are tied for third in the league with five interceptions this year. That puts him right in low-end QB2 territory once again.
