Derek Carr

Carr's been one of the most steady and stable QBs in fantasy football over the last couple of seasons. He doesn't bring the upside that some of the other players at the position do, but he rarely hurts your lineup when you start him. Heading into 2021, it's difficult to project Carr and how he'll perform in this offense. The Raiders overhauled their offensive line, which was a strength of their team and something that Carr needs to be successful, and their defense didn't exactly make significant to get better in the off-season. This team should have to pass more this season, but it's unclear whether or not this will be a good thing for Carr. He's a solid streaming QB or second option in a Superflex league, but it's difficult to see how he can be anything more than that this year.

Derek Carr update: Raiders are doing their homework on top quarterbacks

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Las Vegas Raiders are really doing their homework on the top quarterbacks in this draft, and could potentially be a dark horse trade up candidate to take one of the top QBs.

Fantasy Impact

These rumors muddy the water for Derek Carr's future in Las Vegas. The Raiders could be a very interesting landing spot for a player like Trey Lance or Mac Jones, and we shouldn't rule out a crazy trade up by Gruden and company. Keep an eye on Las Vegas in the days leading up to the NFL Draft.
