Player Notes
January 23, 2010
Owner Al Davis has decided to retain Tom Cable as the head coach of the Raiders for the 2010 campaign, according to ESPN.

Our View:Cable will finish his contract with the team, and will get a chance to prove that he deserves he keep his job longer as well. Oakland went 5-11 in 2009.
January 4, 2010
The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Raiders owner Al Davis will most likely fire head coach Tom Cable.

Our View:Were Cable to get fired, Oakland would be seeking its sixth new head coach since 2001. The team has lost at least 11 games in seven straight seasons. In addition to having to deal with the ego-maniacal Davis, any new coach would also be saddled with deadweight quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Expect another unconventional hire by the bay.

Darren McFadden carried the ball 12 times for a season-high 74 yards on Sunday, helping the Raiders to a shock 20-19 victory over the Broncos.

Our View:As has been the pattern throughout his career, however, he also lost a fumble. Michael Bush ran for 133 yards, as well, so look for him to get more carries next weekend.
December 13, 2009
Darren McFadden carried the ball eight times for just 21 yards, but caught three passes for a combined 84 yards against Washington in Week 14.

Our View:McFadden had his most productive week of the season thanks to his receiving yards, but he is still a very risky play in fantasy leagues. His day was highlighted by a 48-yard catch, but those won't come along very often down the stretch.

Darren McFadden (knee) is active and will play in Week 10 against the Chiefs.

Our View:The Raiders still haven't announced who will start at running back or disclosed how they plan to split the load between McFadden, Justin Fargas, and Michael Bush. McFadden hasn't played since Week 4, and it's hard to believe he is already prepared to carry a full load.
