TEAM: Oakland Raiders
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6'1' / 245

CONTRACT INFO: 7/25/2007: Signed a four-year, $2.165 million contract. Details
 Michael Bush-RB- RaidersNov. 20 - 6:21 pm et
Coach Tom Cable revealed Friday that Michael Bush will be the Raiders' starting tailback in Week 11 against Cincinnati.
Bush started Week 10 and had 119 yards on 14 carries against the Chiefs, but now faces the Bengals' No. 2 rush defense. This is a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues. Justin Fargas got the goal-line carries last Sunday and Darren McFadden's role figures to grow on a weekly basis as he continues to recover from in-season knee surgery. Bush is only a desperate flex play.

 Michael Bush-RB - Raiders Nov. 15 - 8:04 pm et

Michael Bush rushed for 119 yards on 14 carries in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs.
Bush was one of the only bright spots on offense for the Raiders, as he had a nice 60-yard run on the opening drive to set up Justin Fargas' touchdown. He ran downhill with good power all afternoon, as he saw the bulk of the carries for the Raiders. Bush is not a good play next week against the Bengals' tough run defense.
 Darren McFadden-RB - Raiders Nov. 11 - 4:09 pm et  

Darren McFadden (knee) participated in Raiders practice without limitations on Wednesday.
McFadden is slated to practice all week and play against the Chiefs, but we'd like to see how he's used before starting him in fantasy. He may be limited in his return from knee surgery, with Justin Fargas playing a prominent role.

 Justin Fargas-RB - Raiders Nov. 5 - 4:47 pm et  

Raiders coach Tom Cable mentioned the consistency of the running game over the past two and a half games as one of the pleasant surprises of the first half of the season.
Justin Fargas is a favorite of Cable, and he's not likely to go away when Darren McFadden (knee) returns in Week 10. Expect a committee approach over the second-half of the season, with Michael Bush possibly as the odd man out.

 Darren McFadden-RB - Raiders Nov. 5 - 8:56 am et  

Darren McFadden (knee) is expected to return when the Raiders come out of their bye in Week 10.
McFadden practiced fully Wednesday without experiencing any setbacks. He hasn't played since Week 4 and should be close to 100 percent for a matchup with Kansas City. It's unclear if he'll immediately step into the starting lineup, but McFadden should be owned in all leagues.

 Michael Bush-RB - Raiders Nov. 1 - 7:47 pm et

Michael Bush rushed seven times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Bush started, but played well behind Justin Fargas in this one. Bush is now averaging just 3.66 yards per carry this season on 63 totes. Darren McFadden's (knee) status for when the Raiders come out of their bye is unknown right now, but Bush probably won't be a good option either way.
