Week 7 Waiver Wire: With Jason Campbell Out, Is Kyle Boller Worth Adding?

According to Jerry McDonald of The Bay Area Tribune, Raiders QB Jason Campbell will be out for over a month:

"

"Jason Campbell, being driven out of parking lot, stops to tell me he's having surgery for broken clavicle, hopes to be back in six weeks."

"

So, now that Campbell's situation is clear, in terms of fantasy football, is Kyle Boller worth adding to your team?

No, and here's why.

Even with Jason Campbell under center, the Oakland Raiders only rank No. 24 in passing offense, so it's safe to say that won't change much for the better.

Campbell was very good and solid at managing games, and he was effective enough to be a decent No. 2 fantasy QB.

But Kyle Boller?

His best season came with Baltimore back in 2004 when he threw for 13 TDs and 11 picks for a total of 2,559 yards.

It was the only season that he played in all 16 games, and the most since was 2007—where he played in 12 games, threw nine TDs to 10 picks and only compiled 1,743 yards.

Therefore, Boller's only going to be used in the filler role until Campbell gets back, so you can expect an even heavier dose from RB Darren McFadden.

At this point, since the Raiders will be running the ball a lot more, if you can, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add fellow Brahma Bull Michael Bush, who's going to get a few more touches as well.

So, unless Kyle Boller absolutely plays out his mind on a consistent basis, stay away from him and try and add Michael Bush, provided that he's available.
