Jason Campbell Injury: Raiders Will Lean on Darren McFadden and Michael Bush
The Oakland Raiders' offense suffered a huge blow when quarterback Jason Campbell left Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns with a broken collarbone. Radio personality Tom Papa announced during the game that Campbell will miss the remainder of the season as a result.
Backup quarterback Kyle Boller performed admirably in Campbell's absence, completing eight-of-14 pass attempts for 100 yards. Boller is hardly a worthy pickup for your fantasy football team, given his track record of mediocrity as a career second-stringer as well as the Raiders' clear preference for the run over the pass.
If anything, Campbell's injury will likely force Raiders head coach Hue Jackson to rely even more heavily on his team's NFL-best ground game, with more carries to be divided between Darren McFadden, the league's leading rusher, and big bruiser Michael Bush. McFadden finished the day with 91 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while Bush racked up 28 yards on 10 attempts.

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
The fantasy value of the Raiders' receivers shouldn't be too adversely affected. Campbell wasn't exactly a prolific passer to begin with. The former Auburn Tiger came into Sunday's action averaging just over 250 passing yards per game, with just six touchdowns against five interceptions.
In the meantime, Oakland's pass catchers were no worse for wear. Darrius Heyward-Bey continued his steady improvement, pulling in six catches for 82 yards. Jacoby Ford notched three catches for 43 yards, but made a much bigger impact on special teams, where he racked up 138 yards and a touchdown on two kick returns. Tight end Kevin Boss proved to be the beneficiary of punter and emergency quarterback Shane Lechler's passing skills, with a 35-yard touchdown reception on a trick play in the third quarter.
With Campbell down, rookie Terrelle Pryor could eventually be pushed into starting duty, though picking him up off the waiver wire at this point isn't exactly an advisable move. Pryor is far from assured of a starting spot at this point, though Boller has been known to falter when given the opportunity to play.
