Quarterback
Derek Carr: Carr and the Raiders offense continued to sputter, scoring just 16 points against a depleted Browns defense on Monday. Carr has now thrown one or fewer touchdown passes in five straight games and in six of the seven games since the bye.
Carr did throw for 341 yards and two touchdowns in Denver in Week 6, but this team and offense are in a much different state entering this week. Denver is stayed strong defensively, allowing 12.3 passing points per game (third), leaving Carr as a 2QB option.
