Fantasy Football: 5 Things We Learned From Week 6
In Week 6, Greg Olsen returned from his foot injury and played nearly every snap. What else should you take away from this past week?

The Raiders Are Falling Apart

Things are looking bleak for the Oakland Raiders. They are a 1-5 team -- whose only win came in a near-even, overtime match at home against the Cleveland Browns -- and things don't look promising for the rest of the year.

In case you missed it, Derek Carr injured his shoulder towards the end of the game and couldn't finish the near-shutout loss. Carr took a whopping six sacks behind his struggling offensive line and managed just 4.58 yards per attempt against the Seattle Seahawks' rebuilding defense.

The injury woes weren't limited to Carr as Amari Cooper was knocked out of the game with a concussion early on. It's crazy to think, but this could be the last we ever see of Cooper in a Raiders jersey -- shortly before the game began Jay Glazer reported that the team was shopping their young wideout.

The team is in turmoil, and coach Jon Gruden appears ready to let heads roll, which we saw with Khalil Mack just before the start of the season. Until the team can sort itself out, it will be near-impossible to trust any Raiders on your fantasy teams outside of Jared Cook, whose snap rate and volume keep him in play at tight end.
