Las Vegas Raiders fantasy outlook: 2020 Week 4 Sit ‘Em or Start ‘Em

QB Derek Carr – Start ‘Em

Derek Carr continued his efficient start to the season as he had his third straight game with a completion percentage of 73 or better. Carr finished the day against the Patriots with 261 yards and two touchdowns but two lost fumbles hurt his fantasy value. He was ranked 20th in standard scoring in Week 4 but was without Henry Ruggs for the entire game and Bryan Edwards was ineffective after a first half injury.

Darren Waller was also taken out of the game so Carr had to look to other targets for his yardage totals and once again spread the ball around but focused primarily on Hunter Renfrow. Things may be a bit different in Week 4 as the Bills have given up the 6th most passing yards through three games and have allowed Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jared Goff to throw for over 300 yards.

If Derek Carr is to be successful against the Bills, he will need his full complement of weapons and at least one healthy right tackle. Trent Brown is trending towards coming back so if he is in the lineup that allows the Raiders to move Denzelle Good back to guard where he belongs and can slow down a Bills pass rush that has 8 sacks and 20 QB hits so far.
