Running Back Rank: #56
Overall: #224
Fargas missed a couple games because of injury, but didn't have a terrible season considering the missed time. He ran for just less than 1,000 yards (853) and had a 100-yard game and averaged 3.9 yards per carry. He didn't prove to be durable, though, which is a concern if he wants to be the Raiders featured back. He could start most weeks for the Raiders this season, but will lose carries to Darren McFadden and Michael Bush. Fargas isn't the biggest back, but has great speed and is a home-run threat every time he touches the ball. Fargas also isn't a bad receiver, catching at least 10 passes in three straight years.

Fargas isn't a great fantasy option. He scored just one touchdown last season and is an injury risk. Plus, he'll be splitting time with a couple other backs. But even with that said, he has some yardage potential, so he isn't a bad gamble as a No. 3 back. He produced decent numbers when healthy last season. |
