Derek Carr deserves some MVP consideration. He's having a great year, and he's one of the most mistake-free quarterbacks in the league. He's thrown only 5 interceptions and taken just 12 sacks in 12 games.
But if you have the Kansas City Defense, advice is to probably go ahead and start them anyway. Something about this opponent results in Carr playing poorly, serving up plenty of sacks and turnovers -- well above his averages.
Here's how Carr has fared in five career meetings with this defense. (TOs is turnovers; interceptions and lost fumbles.)
