Derek Carr

Derek Carr is a 34-year-old quarterback out of Fresno State with 11 years of NFL experience, and he is currently a free agent. His fantasy production has come almost entirely through the air. In 2023 he ran 32 times for 40 yards, and in 2024 he added 71 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 17 attempts. That is a minimal rushing floor, so his weekly value depends on passing volume and touchdowns.

The data stops at 2024. There are no 2025 or 2026 numbers here. In 2023 he played 17 games, completing 375 of 548 passes for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, which came to 249.1 PPR points and a rank of 37. In 2024 he played only 10 games, going 189 of 279 for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, for 155.9 points and a rank of 120. The drop in rank reflects the missed games more than worse play. Per game, 2024 was slightly better: roughly 15.6 points per game against about 14.7 in 2023. His yards per attempt also rose, from about 7.1 to about 7.7, and his touchdown rate held near 1.5 per game.

For fantasy and DFS purposes there is nothing to roster right now. A free agent has no games on the slate. The Clutch Edge projection of 15.4 points per game, ranked 242nd among QB/RB/WR/TE, matches his recent per-game output as a low-ceiling pocket passer whose points come from efficient, moderate-volume passing rather than rushing upside. The thing that would change the read is a signing with a clear path to starts. Until then, he is a name to monitor, not one to roster.
