Roundup: Steelers got it right by hiring Tomlin

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.

News and notes for Week 5

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.

McFadden to miss 2-4 weeks with torn knee cartilage

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.

Raiders RB Fargas questionable vs. Chargers

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.

Oh, those tricky Raiders

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.

Fantasy roundup: Ravens RB McGahee healthy, ready

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.

McFadden finds the end zone

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.

Falcons-Raiders inactives

Falcons: QB D.J. Shockley (3rd), FS Thomas DeCoud, CB David Irons, LB Tony Gilbert, C Alex Stepanovich, T Sam Baker, DE Simon Fraser, WR Adam Jennings.

Raiders-Ravens inactives

Raiders inactives: QB Marques Tuiasosopo (3rd), WR Todd Watkins, RB Darren McFadden, DB Rashad Baker, LB John Alston, DE Derrick Burgess, T James Marten, C John Wade.

McFadden active for Raiders; Fargas out

Some quick injury updates from around the league:

–Rookie running back Darren McFadden, who leads Oakland in carries (30) and rushing yards (210) is active for the Raiders, while Justin Fargas, who began the season as the Raiders’ starting RB, is inactive vs. the Bills.

McFadden to start for Oakland

We’ve just found out that Darren McFadden will be active and start against Buffalo. Justin Fargas is inactive, so Michael Bush will be second on the depth chart. He should see his share of the carries, especially with McFadden a little dinged. Overall, it looks like it’s safe to start the rookie this week.

Raiders’ Fargas leaves game with injury

Oakland Raiders RB Justin Fargas has left Sunday’s game against the Chiefs with an injury.
