BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~98 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~109
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was given a gift this offseason when the new front office regime promptly sent their first and second-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for wide receiver Davante Adams.
The pair are now reunited from their college days at Fresno State, and the Raiders offense is looking quite potent with a trio of pass-catchers in Adams, Darren Waller, and Hunter Renfrow.
In a recent interview, Adams was asked about the switch from Rodgers and Carr and claimed that "as far as talent and ability, it's really similar, if I'm keeping it real." Carr signed a 3-year, $121.5 million extension with the Raiders this offseason. While his fantasy floor is relatively safe, Carr has only topped 30+ touchdown passes once in a season.
With behind-the-times Jon Gruden now gone and offensive guru Josh McDaniels taking over the helm, can they fix Carr's woes in the red zone? Carr has thrown for over 4,000 yards in four straight seasons and led the Raiders to the playoffs last season. With the AFC West now turned into a full-on powerhouse, every divisional game feels like it will be a boat race.
Given the improvements made to the offense, Carr feels likely to outperform his current QB14 ADP. He is also an intriguing pairing in Superflex formats with a quarterback like Jalen Hurts or Trey Lance, which provides you with a safe floor and league-winning upside every week.
