Justin Fargas couldn't take a dump in a plastic bag even if you were holding it for him.

Wow... a guy in my league, his first two picks were Jordan & McNabb. (FWIW, we can start 2 QBs in my league... that's why Donovan went unusually early.)

Haven't watched many Raiders games this season?Fargas has looked just as good as Jordan, if not a little bit better.

Fargas has looked just as good as Jordan, if not a little bit better.

Completely agree. That doesnt mean there will be much production because it is still Oakland in '06.But Fargas has looked more impressive (determined/effort/quick) then Jordan all season.

I watched the game against the Steelers and the Monday night debacle vs. Seahawks.

I wasn't impressed to say the least

Edit: To add more opinion on the matter. He couldn't piss through a tire if it was 2 feet from his coc|<

Agreed with that also.But for me, I would rather take a shot on Fargas, based on what I have seen thus far (for a first time full time carrier).Then take a shot on Jordan (if healthy) as the full time carrier. At least for fantasy for the remainder of '06.Thats doesnt mean either amounts/amounted to much. But for fantasy leagues, it worth a shot.This late in the season, you need to take some shots and find some gems in the most unlikely places.

Jordan was hands down one of the most overrated RBs I've ever seen as an NFL starter and in fantasy.

What's the expected full recovery time for a torn MCL? (especially for us Jordan owners in keeper/dynasty leagues)
