2020 Fantasy Outlook
Carr set career highs in passing yards (4,054), completion percentage (70.4) and YPA (7.9) for the second year in a row last season. And like the year before, Carr ran up his numbers thanks to a dink-and-dunk passing game that rarely tried to stretch the field. A league-high 61.4 percent of Carr's attempts were within five yards of the line of scrimmage, with just 7.2 percent going beyond 20 yards. No surprise, his 6.6-yard average depth of target was the lowest in the NFL. In Carr's defense, the Raiders intended for Antonio Brown to be their deep threat, but that plan blew up in training camp. And Tyrell Williams, who has a career 16.1 YPC, dealt with plantar fasciitis for much of the year. The big winner was TE Darren Waller with a team-high 117 targets. He'll be back for more this season, as will the promising Hunter Renfrow. And with a healthy Williams on the outside opposite 12th overall pick Henry Ruggs, who runs a 4.27 40, Carr theoretically has the weapons to exploit defenses. But on a team that ranked eighth in rushing percentage (44.2) — and with an RB in Josh Jacobs who will see north of 250 carries — Carr's volume isn't likely to increase much (513 last year). With no scrambling threat, his upside is limited, especially if he reverts to checkdowns again. The Raiders also made Marcus Mariota the highest-paid backup in the league, so the leash on Carr appears shorter than ever. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Big effort in Week 17
Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old finished the season on a very impressive run, topping 300 yards in four of his last five starts (and not getting a chance to reach the mark in the fifth due to a second-quarter groin injury). Carr compiled his third consecutive 4,000-yard campaign as a result while setting a new career high with 4,103, and while the Raiders could get out of the final two seasons on his current contract fairly easily, his big final month makes it almost certain he'll be back under center for Las Vegas in 2021.

2014
Carr finished 2018 with career highs in completion percentage (68.9), passing yards (4,049) and yards per attempt (7.3), but he left fantasy owners hanging with a career-low 19 touchdown passes. Carr was effective throwing downfield last season, as his completion percentage (44.9) on passes longer than 20 yards ranked fourth and his 14.5 YPA ranked ninth. The problem was he didn't go deep often, ranking 19th in the league with 49 downfield attempts. His average depth of target was 7.3 yards, tied with Cam Newton for second lowest in the league, largely because of the team's utter lack of playmaking wideouts, especially after Amari Cooper was traded to Dallas midseason. That should change this year with the additions of Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams, who could help take Carr to the next level as a downfield passer. Meanwhile, first-round draft pick Josh Jacobs figures to give the Raiders a running game that will actually contribute after ranking 25th in 2018. The Raiders also made over an offensive line that gave up 52 sacks last season, most notably signing tackle Trent Brown, a mountain of a man at 6-8, 380. Carr did enough in Jon Gruden's first year as head coach to buy himself another season as the starter, but if the 28-year-old can't produce now, it likely will be his last in Oakland.
