BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: After putting on a sucking-masterclass in Week 12, Derek Carr came back to his senses and led--barely, but still--the Raiders to another W against the Jets this past Sunday with a touchdown pass just seconds before the final whistle. Not only did Carr get back on track, but he also had his best game of the season through W13. Carr is rostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues, but we cannot let him slip through our WW-target blog posts with the fantasy playoffs starting next weekend.
Odds are you won't find Carr available for free this deep into the season and leading up to the playoffs, but it's currently a coin-flip so you better check your WW. If you are one of lucky GMs to be part of those 49 percent silly leagues in which he's still available, congratulations! Carr is averaging 17 FP per game. Removing his putrid W12 game (1.6 FP), that average goes up to 18.4. And even factoring that dud in, Carr has finished all but one game inside the top-24 QBs of those slates.
Carr had his best game yesterday to the tune of 381 passing yards on 28 completions (47 attempts) to go with 3 TDs against just one interception. He even added a score on the ground for a massive 32.7 FP tally that ranked him as the QB1 of the week (pending MNF).
The Raiders face a tough defense next weekend in the Colts', but they go against the 24th- and 13th-best units against fantasy quarterbacks in the second and championship rounds of the playoffs. You want to have Carr in your roster if you're in the postseason and plan on pulling off a deep run.
