Quarterback
Derek Carr: Through seven games, Carr has been the QB13 or higher in five of them. He has two weeks with a low floor (QB25 and QB31) but has five 300-yard passing games and multiple passing touchdowns in six of the seven games.
The Giants are allowing a 68.3% completion rate (28th), but are forcing teams to dink and dunk, allowing 7.0 yards per completion (10th) and 10.3 yards per completion (ninth). They are 31st in pressure rate (17.0%).
Carr showed before the bye that he can still pepper the intermediate levels despite having the most fantasy points on throws 15 yards or further downfield. Coming out of the bye, Carr is a fringe QB1 option.
