Kansas City was forced to go to their 3rd QB, Tyler Thigpen, early in this week 2 contest. Thigpen looked terrible, further limiting the value of Dwayne Bowe and Tony Gonzalez. No one else in the Chiefs' passing game is worth owning.
Larry Johnson (12 carries for 22 yards) is not looking good. He is tentative and just looks slow. Looking this way against the awful Raiders run defense is particularly concerning. I think that LJ has one more year left in him, so don't totally panic yet, but this is starting to look like the begining stages of the Sean Alexander drop-off.
Jamarcus Russell (6 of 17 for 55 yards) still looks terrible and is not worth owning.
Darren McFadden (21 carries, 164 yards, TD), looked really good, with the only problem being 2 fumbles. Oh, yeah, and he is also dealing with a turf toe. While McFadden has played much better than I expected, I still do not beleive he can make it through an NFL season without getting hurt.
Speaking of injuries, the injury to Justin Fargas has opened the door for former FFV darling Michael Bush, who had 90 yards and a TD on 16 carries. I'm worried that the team tried to move him to FB, but with Fargas and McFadden hurting, he could have a shot to show us what he's got on a week-to-week basis. He hasn't played much in the last 2 years, but he definately has talent.
