Raiders' Derek Carr (back) will start on Sunday
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was removed from the injury report and will start in Week 6, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
What It Means:
After sitting out Week 5 with a back injury, Carr worked his way back to a full participant in Friday's practice. As a result, he will be under center against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. He will immediately provide a boost to the Raiders' offense while pushing E.J. Manuel back to his backup role.
Averaging 14.2 FanDuel points per game, Carr will face a Chargers defense allowing 16.2 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks through 5 games. He costs $7,500 on this week's slate.
