Derek Carr - Torches Steelers in win Carr completed 28 of his 37 pass attempts for 382 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers.
Impact Carr took advantage of a shorthanded Steelers' defense to connect on five passes of 20 or more yards. He showed particular rapport with Henry Ruggs downfield, highlighted by a 61-yard touchdown and a 30-yard pass that set up another score on the following play. Though often regarded as a game manager, Carr has powered an explosive Raiders' offense through two weeks as he's combined to record 817 passing yards and four touchdowns as opposed to only one interception.

Peyton Barber - Inefficient on ground Barber carried the ball 13 times for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Barber led the Raiders' backfield in both carries and yardage, yet his day was still hardly noteworthy. His longest rush of the contest went for 13 yards, though he was also tackled for a loss on four separate occasions. Barber's role in the offense going forward will be dependent on the health of Josh Jacobs (toe/anke), though even with a significant workload the results don't project to be particularly impressive.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kenyan Drake - Abysmal on ground Drake carried the ball seven times for nine yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers. He added five receptions on six targets for 46 yards.
Impact Drake was out-carried by Peyton Barber 13-7. Neither mustered much on the ground, as Drake was limited to 1.3 yards per carry with his longest rush going for five yards. He showed a bit more promise as a receiver, breaking off gains of 13, 11 and 10 yards in that role. Drake's role moving forward will largely be dependent on the health of Josh Jacobs (toe/ankle), who reportedly has a chance to return for the team's Week 3 matchup against Miami.

Henry Ruggs III - Beats Steelers deep Ruggs recorded five receptions on seven targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers.
Impact Ruggs had only 15 total yards at halftime, but he made the Steelers pay throughout the second half to help the Raiders to a win. On the team's second possession of the the third quarter, he got open down the middle of the field for a 30-yard gain, which set up a nine-yard touchdown on the next play for Foster Moreau. Ruggs finished the job himself one quarter later, when he cut through the middle of the field for a 61-yard touchdown. The effort marked the second time that Ruggs has topped 100 yards receiving in 15 games in the NFL.

Darren Waller - Falls back in Week 2 Waller recorded five receptions on seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers.
Impact Waller turned in a solid performance, but it was a disappointment relative to his explosive Week 1 effort. Even so, he matched Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow to lead the team in targets and provided chunk gains of 25, 13 and 10 yards. Opposing teams are likely to focus a lot of attention towards Waller, though if Ruggs continues to beat defenses deep, Waller could find more room to operate.
