5 years agoOakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been encouraged to throw downfield more by head coach Jon Gruden. "The better your receivers are, the more aggressive you are," Gruden said via The Athletic. "And the better your line is, the more vertical shots you can call. We think we are better on the line. We think we are better outside. With that being said, we are going to take more shots, I hope." Carr ranked 18th in fantasy points last season with 4,049 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The arrival of wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Josh Jacobs certainly adds to Carr's potential this season. He's still likely to wind up as a QB2, but he could be a nice spot starter in good matchups.--Ryan Dodson
