Carr should throw for 300 again

The Cleveland Browns have a standout cornerback in Denzel Ward, who the team took with the fourth overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. After trading away Joe Haden last season, Ward has been able to come right in and be the star cornerback for the team through the first four games, and is someone you want to avoid in the passing game.

While the Raiders have struggled mightily this season, especially in the second half of games, quarterback Derek Carr has been able to put up big yardage numbers each week. In fact, the team is sixth in the NFL in total yards, even if they have yet to win a single game this season.

Carr has thrown for 303, 288, and 345 yards respectively through the first three games, and has done it against some solid secondaries. The Browns present problems of their own, especially up front, but Carr should be able to eclipse the 300-yard mark once again against a secondary that has holes to exploit.
