When it comes to the fantasy production put forth by Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, well -- he's hardly in talks, but this week could be different.
"He's coming off his first top-12 scoring week of the season," said NBC Sports fantasy analyst Josh Norris. "And thankfully the Lions, who he's facing this week, have allowed a top-12 scorer in six of the last seven games."
Norris admits he's been rather critical of Jon Gruden throughout the season. While he's not the only one who has been demanding of the Raiders head coach, he admits he needs to stop doing that.
"Really what he's doing with his roster, that is in some ways devoid of talent, is somewhat genius," Norris added. "He's outstanding."

"I still think [Carr] deserves credit for what he's done this year."
