Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell was one of the most added quarterbacks in ESPN standard leagues over the past week, which made sense. Campbell entered Week 6 on the periphery of the top 10 quarterbacks in standard scoring, with a reasonably favorable schedule, and with six-team bye weeks stealing good passers -- especially in Week 7 -- Campbell was a viable pickup.
However, the news that Campbell suffered a season-ending broken collarbone in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns not only means you can send him back to the free agent wire, but makes me wonder about other key Raiders from a fantasy perspective, namely stud running back Darren McFadden and emerging wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
To see more of Eric's thoughts on the Raiders offense, as well as Rashard Mendenhall, Earnest Graham and the Washington Redskins running backs, you must be an ESPN Insider.
