Derek Carr A Risky Week 17 Option
5 years agoOakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has posted two 20-point fantasy performances over his last three weeks, but will face a tougher test this Sunday versus the Broncos. The Denver defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest passing yards in the league (215.3 YPG), and the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position this season (14.7 FPPG). They've also limited opposing quarterbacks to just four passing scores and three interceptions over their previous three contests combined. Carr has one multi-TD game since Week 9, so the stars are aligning for a low-scoring game in a difficult road contest. Consider the veteran a low-end QB2 option as the Raiders look to sneak into the playoffs.
