It appears Patriots WR Wes Welker has more to rehab from this offseason than a serious knee injury.

The Eagles announced that they will host free-agent WR Hank Baskett and RB Justin Fargas on Friday. Both players will be available to the media — Baskett at 11 a.m. ET and Fargas at 1:30 pm ET.

The Raiders have released veterans Javon Walker and Greg Ellis, NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reports.

Justin Fargas has a visit scheduled with the Chiefs, and “several” other teams already have contacted the free-agent running back, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The release of RB Justin Fargas will make it easier for fantasy owners to draft RBs Darren McFadden and Michael Bush.

The Raiders announced Saturday that they have cut veteran RB Justin Fargas because of a failed physical.

After leading the Steelers to their sixth Super Bowl championship in February, the St. Paul Pioneer Press writes that, despite questions regarding his age and experience, Mike Tomlin has proven he was the right man for the job all along.

Here’s a quick look at some of the bigger stories in the NFL and how they’ll affect your fantasy team in Week 5.

Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable announced during his weekly news conference Monday that RB Darren McFadden will miss 2-4 weeks with torn meniscus in his knee.

RB Justin Fargas is listed as questionable on the Raiders’ injury report. Fargas returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday and again Saturday, but a hamstring injury could keep him out of Monday night’s matchup with the Chargers.

Ignore Darren McFadden’s second-team status on the Raiders’ initial depth chart, he’s still the Oakland player you should target first in fantasy drafts.

Ravens RB Willis McGahee has been one of the most frustrating fantasy options in recent memory, so forgive my trepidation when he told the Baltimore Sun that he’s completely healthy and ready to challenge Ray Rice for the No. 1 spot in Baltimore.

Darren McFadden scored his second touchdown of the season on a 1-yard run to put the Raiders ahead of the Broncos 17-10. Justin Fargas continues to see more of the work for the Silver and Black, however, so fantasy leaguers hoping McFadden’s touchdown is sign of better things to come shouldn’t be too optimistic.
