Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Coming off a 1,000-yard rushing performance, Fargas returns to a running back corps that includes Dominic Rhodes, LaMont Jordan and Michael Bush, who sat out the season while rehabbing a college leg injury. That unit produced 2,086 yards rushing in 2007, which ranked fourth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL. Assuming Lane Kiffin remains as HC, Fargas will remain the primary rushing weapon. The prevailing notion in Oakland has either Jordan or Rhodes (most likely Jordan) moving on. Bush could be a wild card, but Fargas certainly proved his worth to Kiffin last season.
