2020 Outlook
Depth Chart
There was some belief that the Raiders would move on from long-time quarterback Derek Carr this offseason, but the team seems to be prepared to give him at least one more chance to prove himself as the team itself makes the move to Las Vegas.

He may not be the most exciting option, but it's worth noting that Carr did actually have the second-best season of his professional career in 2019, as he used a dink-and-dunk approach to exceed a 70-percent completion percentage for the first time, along with exceeding 4,000 passing yards for the second straight season. He did this despite having what had to be considered one of the least-talented wide receiver groups in the league, a rookie running back who was not known for being a great pass catcher, and a starting tight end who had never caught more than 10 passes in an NFL season. All things considered, Carr's 2019 season was actually fairly impressive despite him throwing just 21 touchdowns.

One of the most risk-averse quarterbacks in the league, Carr is in an odd spot for fantasy purposes heading into 2020. Only Teddy Bridgewater has a lower average target distance than Carr over the past two seasons. This gives Carr a higher weekly floor than some of his more careless competitors at the quarterback position, but it doesn't often lead to many high ceiling performances. The Raiders did add two playmaking wide receivers in the first and third rounds with Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards, but it seems like this type of personnel is tipping the team's hand a bit, as they may be ready to move on from Carr if he doesn't have a breakout season here in 2020.

Carr finished as the QB17 in 2019 and that's probably about where he'll finish in 2020. He's being drafted in the low-20s among QBs so he'll almost certainly outproduce that, but the chances of him breaking into the top 12 at the position are rather low.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Derek Carr on track to play Week 16
Practices fully for second straight day on Thursday
By: Doug Orth | Thu Dec 24, 10:00 pm

Las Vegas Raiders
Jon Gruden is "optimistic" that Derek Carr can be ready to go Saturday but "I am not going to let the cat out of the bag ... both quarterbacks have prepared to play." (The Athletic - Vic Tafur)

FFToday's Take: Carr was initially expected to miss 10-14 days after suffering a "significant" groin injury last Thursday, but it appears he is going to give it a shot. Of course, that assumes Gruden doesn't protect Carr from himself and makes him the emergency quarterback this week. Thankfully, most fantasy owners playing for a title only need to worry about Darren Waller when it comes to pass-catchers in this offense. Neither quarterback is more than a middling QB2 this week, and both come with significant risk.
