Derek Carr Up Against Tough Competition In Week 1
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr is set to make his 2021 debut on Monday night in a Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-year-old didn't play at all during the preseason but has looked strong during practices with starters and backups alike. While typically ranked as a middle-of-the-pack QB, Carr is expected to have a stronger season overall since he has noticeably improved under Jon Gruden's tutelage. That being said, Monday's game is a tough matchup for Carr, who is going up against a Baltimore team whose stealthy defense got even tougher this offseason. Even with the Ravens defense being hit with injuries this week, Carr should only be utilized in two-QB formats.
