Fantasy Verdicts

Derek Carr Unlucky

LV · QB · 11.1 pts on 18.6 expected

25 of 38 passing for 236 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception; 3 carries for 7 yards.

Verdict: The role was there, worth 18.6 points at league-average rates; the production wasn't.

Josh Jacobs Volume, no payoff

4 targets (11% of the team's), 3 catches for 42 yards; 15 carries (60% of the team's) for 52 yards.

Harrison Bryant Ran hot

CLE · TE · 9.1 pts on 3.4 expected

2 targets (7% of the team's), 2 catches for 11 yards and 1 touchdown.

Verdict: The opportunities were worth 3.4 points; the touchdowns supplied the rest, and they are the part least likely to repeat.
