The Facts: The Raiders last year improved from three wins to seven, handing the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos a home loss in December. Carr's passer rating improved from 76.6 to 91.1 last season, as he passed for 3,987 yards and 32 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. Many expect another leap for Carr and the Raiders this season. "I think it helps that he doesn't have to learn a new language again," OC Bill Musgrave said of Carr.

Diehards Line:Musgrave continued: "Two years in the league, two different systems. Now this year he can feel like he has a good grasp of it and start putting his own spin on things and can put his own signature on the system. Things that he wants to see or tweak a quarter turn here or there, he can initiate that. ..." This is good news, especially considering Carr's numbers to date. Remember, only Dan Marino (with 68) has thrown more TD passes in the first two years of a career than Carr, who has 53 TDs. Teamed up with some great young receiving talent in Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree and up-and-coming TE Clive Walford, look for Carr's production to continue being fantasy-friendly.
