If E.J. Manuel's first start with the Oakland Raiders told us anything, it's that Derek Carr better return quickly from his back injury. Manuel stunk up the joint at the Oakland Coliseum in Week 5 as the Raiders were beaten by the Baltimore Ravens, 30-17, in a game that was never close.

Manuel had a really tough day through the air, going just 13-for-26 for 159 yards and a touchdown. Granted, he beat his Projected Fantasy Points total (6.5), but that isn't saying a heck of a lot.

Marshawn Lynch and Michael Crabtree both scored a touchdown for the Silver and Black, thus beating their lowered expectations at Dober Games.

Amari Cooper's frustrating season continued. He had just one catch for eight yards on Sunday, his third consecutive game with fewer than two Dober Fantasy Points.

The Ravens raced out to 24 first half points and never looked back against Oakland. The offense stalled in the second half, but Javorius Allen and Mike Wallace did plenty of damage in the first half to easily provide winners on your Dober Play Cards.
