Who Will Star in the Raiders Backfield?

Found April 28, 2008 on FantasyFanatics.com:
PLAYERS: Dominic Rhodes,  Justin Fargas,  LaMont Jordan,  Reggie Bush,  Adrian Peterson
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders

It was the fourth overall pick that garnered the most attention from fantasy managers through out the nation, just like it was the second overall pick two years ago when Reggie Bush was the top running back chosen. Even last season, all fantasy football managers knew about Adrian Peterson and his sensational college career before he stepped foot on an NFL football field, and he wasn't taken until the Vikings grabbed him with the seventh pick overall. The fact is that Darren McFadden is the type of player who will attract the attention of fantasy managers from draft day forward, and on that note what can we honestly expect.
