Pros: The Raiders traded for Campbell this offseason, and the veteran passer will be their starting quarterback; he has little competition behind him should he struggle early. Coming off a career season, the former Auburn Tiger passed for 3,618 yards and 20 touchdowns. Campbell completed 64.5 percent of his passes to go along with a personal-best 7.1 yards-per-attempt average. His completion percentage has improved for three straight seasons.

Cons: The Raiders don't have a lot of proven weapons in their offense. Oakland's offensive line isn't the greatest, either, and Campbell took 43 sacks behind a poor Washington Redskins' front five in 2009. Campbell has fumbled 33 times (lost 12) in the past three years. This is Campbell's third different system in three years and eight in 10 years dating back to high school. 

Fantasy tip: If Campbell continues to pick up the offense quickly, the Raiders could have a good fit on their hands. He is a vertical passer, which is how Oakland loves to run their passing game. A lot needs to fall into place, though, so don't hold your breath. Campbell's upside makes him a sleeper candidate to a degree, but we fear the wide receiving corps may need another year of seasoning before he can be a reliable fantasy option. Consider him a backup in deep leagues; Campbell is drafted in the 18th round, on average.
