Ranking the 5 best Raiders through the first quarter of the NFL season

4. QB Derek Carr

There isn’t a ton to pick apart from Derek Carr’s performance in the first quarter of the season. He’s currently completing just under 74 percent of his passes. He’s yet to throw an interception and his passer rating is at an all-time high of 113.6.

However, there have been times when Carr has been too reckless with the football, including a costly fumble in Week 4 as the Raiders were driving in the fourth quarter. He still could stand to be a more aggressive passer, but it’s tough to blame him as his top two outside receivers in Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards are both dealing with injuries.

Carr has been good this season, but the Raiders will need him to be great on Sunday if they want to have any chance of hanging with the Chiefs.
