While many owners of Baltimore offensive players panicked when Steve McNair left Sunday’s game in the first quarter with a concussion and a neck sprain after being sacked by Mike Rucker and Chris Draft, Kyle Boller demonstrated that he is still serviceable in the Ravens’ offense. While Derrick Mason was shut out for the first time this season, Mark Clayton benefited from Boller’s presence, putting up his best stats of the season. Since McNair wasn’t targeting Clayton often this season, he is currently available in many leagues, and owners who need receiving help might want to look into picking up Clayton if McNair is going to miss any playing time.
