Michael Bush - RB - Oakland Raiders

Michael Bush carried four times for 27 yards in Week 11.

He started, but was used less than both Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden. Bush should confidently be left on fantasy benches going forward.

Today - 8:05 PM ET
Darren McFadden - RB - Oakland Raiders

Darren McFadden ran for 25 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 10 yards in the Raiders' Week 11 win.

McFadden's nine touches were second to Justin Fargas (ten), even though Michael Bush (four) started the game. McFadden will be the best bet for work here going forward, but he needs to make Fargas and Bush irrelevant again to be considered for fantasy use. He is still worth owning in all leagues.

Darrius Heyward-Bey - WR - Oakland Raiders

Darrius Heyward-Bey caught just one ball for seven yards in Week 11.

Heyward-Bey was second on the Raiders with six targets, but he continues to struggle badly. He had multiple drops and has made very few big plays all season. The surprise No. 7 overall pick has just seven receptions on the year.

Zach Miller - TE - Oakland Raiders

Zach Miller caught five balls for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' Week 11 win over Cincinnati.

Bruce Gradkowski helped him, after all. Miller paced Oakland with seven targets and scored his second touchdown of 2009. While he's still a weekly crapshoot because Oakland is so unpredictable (mostly bad) on offense, Miller can again be considered by owners desperate for a fantasy starter.

Justin Fargas - RB - Oakland Raiders

Justin Fargas rushed for 32 yards on eight carries and caught two passes for 17 yards in Week 11.

Fargas came off the bench, but led Oakland's backfield in touches. The Raiders used a near-even timeshare, with Darren McFadden getting nine touches and "starter" Michael Bush four. Avoid this situation until separation occurs.

Bruce Gradkowski - QB - Oakland Raiders

Bruce Gradkowski completed 17-of-34 passes for two touchdowns and an interception in Oakland's Week 11 upset of Cincinnati.

The Raiders capitalized on an old-fashioned letdown game for the Bengals, who were coming off a win over Pittsburgh. Gradkowski thrived with a short passing game and will keep the starting job over JaMarcus Russell moving forward. He's not a QB2 option with a difficult schedule going forward, though.

Richard Seymour - DL - Oakland Raiders

Raiders DE Richard Seymour is out for the rest of Sunday's game with a back injury.

The extent of the injury is unknown, but Seymour can't afford to miss much time in his contract season. The 30-year-old has four sacks on the year.
