Fargas

He’s questionable with a toe injury. His situation should clear up today.

We’ve heard conflicting reports on Fargas’ status. He’ll be a game-time decision either way and the backup to Tyrone Wheatley. No Oakland runner is a good play versus Buffalo.

He’s likely to play this weekend. If Tyrone Wheatley continues to struggle, it may only be a matter of time until Fargas gets a shot at being the primary back.

It sounds like Fargas’ status for this game is in doubt. Amos Zereoue has been picking up snaps in the place of Fargas, but has little fantasy value.

In Turner’s ideal game, Tyrone Wheatley would get 20 carries to Fargas’ 10. Fargas is emerging as one of the best No. 2 running backs to draft this week.

Coach Norv Turner gave Fargas his most ringing endorsement yet: “Wheatley and Fargas is a heck of a combination.” Look for Fargas to get 8-10 touches to open the season, with potential for more.

Fargas suffered a lower leg injury in week five. He looks unlikely to contribute this weekend. This is beginning to look like a lost season for Fargas.

Fargas has no fantasy value at this time.

Despite public claims that Fargas will be ready, we’d be surprised if he carries the ball much this weekend. That’s good news for Amos Zereoue and Zach Crockett owners. Crockett is a decent last minute addition in deep leagues for this week.

Fargas scored a TD on his lone carry of the day. But he appears far from 100% and helping fantasy teams.
