Derek Carr's landing in Oakland is a positive. He's a strong-armed, sharp quarterback who should find playing time before the season ends. He's also a local California kid, which shouldn't hurt things for the franchise. This is a squad that has lacked a quality quarterback for a long time. Carr fits the bill. Once he gets in there he'll end up throwing a bunch -- he's a Raider and that's what they do, whether by choice or because they're playing from behind.

Carr's a Fantasy pick for the future, not for the present. We like him with a middle- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a Top 10 pick in rookie-only drafts. We wouldn't take him in a seasonal format.
