After four weeks into the NFL season players are dropping like the Dolphins, Saints, and Rams. There loss can equal another players gain and an edge in the fantasy football season. At quarterback, there was Dante Culpepper getting five touchdowns for Oakland and rookie Trent Edwards playing solid in relief of JP Losman in Buffalo. I'm not buying into either one just yet with Culpepper throwing for just 75 yards and a number one overall pick sure to start picking up some playing time. Edwards could get more playing time if Losman sits out a bit longer, but he is a rookie and does play for the Bills. A more interesting position during mid season for players to look at is the all important running back position so lets take a peek at two who are likely available in your league after this past week.One to add: Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay
The Bucs offense isn't going to scare anyone and many folks probably haven't even heard of the 4th year RB for the Buccaneers but Graham benefits from the broken Caddy. With Cadillac Williams gone for the season after being put on IR Graham will likely sbe splitting carries with Michael Pittman but will be more of a factor as he will likely get most of the goal line carries. The Bucs rushing attack was just looking like it was getting going. Through four games Graham already has 30 rushes for 136 yards (4.5 ypc) and three scores. He is not much of a threat in the passing game but if you are looking for a RB now he is your best option on the waiver wire.
One to avoid: Justin Fargas, Oakland
It seems like the five year vet just exploded onto the scene this past weekend for the Raiders. With 22 carries for a whopping 179 yards (8.1 ypc), Fargas had the highest rushing total this past weekend against the Dolphins. Fargas has always had excellent speed, but unlike Graham what he won't get to be is a featured back. First, LaMont Jordan's injured back doesn't look like it will keep him out very long. Secondly, Dominic Rhodes, whom the Raiders signed away from the Colts, just finished serving his four game suspension. That adds up to Fargas falling back to number three on the Raiders running back depth chart.
