Editor's Note: A delay in posting means this comes after Darren McFadden's foot injury. He is expected to return for week nine following Oakland's bye.
Right before the season started, I wrote a post about the fantasy team I'd draft if I could only draft Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers. After the first six weeks of the regular season, how does that team look now? Sure, I could wait to do this until the end of the season, but by that time everyone's tired of fantasy football except for the few who won their league championship.
Here's how I would have drafted and how they've performed so far. Stats are from a league that uses standard scoring (1 point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving, 1 point for every 25 yards passing, etc.).
1. Darren McFadden -- RB, OAK
614 Rush Yds, 154 Rec Yds, 5 TD, 1 Fumble Lost -- 17.4 Fantasy Points Per Game
Overall Ranking: 9 (No. 3 RB)
2. Frank Gore -- RB, SF
541 Rush Yds, 71 Rec Yds, 4 TD, 2 Fumbles Lost -- 13.5 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: 23 (No. 11 RB)
3. Vernon Davis -- TE, SF
271 Rec Yds, (-5) Rush Yds, 3 TD -- 7.4 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: 71 (No. 9 TE)
4. Braylon Edwards -- WR, SF
48 Rec Yds -- 2.4 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: N/A (No. 121 WR)
5. Jacoby Ford -- WR, OAK
114 Rec Yds, 31 Rush Yds, 1 TD, 1 Fumble Lost -- 4.2 Fantasy PPG

6. Jason Campbell -- QB, OAK
1,170 Pass Yds, 6 Pass TD, 4 INT, 60 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TD, 1 Fumble Lost -- 13.8 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: 59 (No. 19 QB)
7. Michael Bush -- RB, OAK
237 Rush Yds, 2 TD, 111 Rec Yds -- 7.0 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: 121 (No. 30 RB)
8. Michael Crabtree -- WR, SF

Ranking: 191 (No. 37 RB)
12. Alex Smith -- QB, SF
1,090 Pass Yds, 8 Pass TD, 2 INT, 47 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD -- 13.4 Fantasy PPG

15. Sebastian Janikowski -- K, OAK
12 FG (5 over 50 Yds), 16 PAT -- 10.8 Fantasy PPG
Ranking: 115 (No. 5 Kicker)
Here's how the team I picked looked:
Your SBNBA Forty-Raiders
QB: Campbell
RB: McFadden
RB: Gore
WR: Edwards
WR: Ford
TE: Davis
WR/RB: Bush
K: Janikowski
D: Niners
Bench: Crabtree (WR)
Bench: Murphy (WR)
Bench: Boss (TE)
Bench: Hunter (RB)
Bench: Smith (QB)
Bench: Heyward-Bey (WR)
Here's how that team should look now, based on how the 49ers and Raiders have done this season.
QB: Smith
RB: McFadden
RB: Gore
WR: Denarius Moore (212 Rec Yds, 45 Rush Yds, 3 TD -- 8.7 Fantasy PPG)
WR: Heyward-Bey
TE: Davis
WR/RB: Bush
K: Janikowski
D: Niners
Bench: Hunter (RB)
Bench: Ted Ginn (WR -- 45 Rush Yds, 62 Rec Yds, 2 Ret TD -- 3.8 Fantasy PPG)
Bench: Boss (TE)
Bench: Crabtree (WR)
Bench: Carson Palmer (QB)
Bench: Ford (WR)
-- Palmer could change everything depending on how he starts off with the Raiders.
-- Same goes for the returns of Edwards and Murphy.
-- Janikowski's had a great year, but he only has two more fantasy points than David Akers.
-- Delanie Walker actually has more fantasy points (29.4) than any tight ends or wide receivers on either team besides Davis, Moore and Heyward-Bey. He isn't the threat Davis is, but he's been picking up touchdowns.
-- Josh Morgan (5.6 Fantasy PPG) was having a pretty nice season before breaking his ankle and going on IR.
-- Besides running backs, kickers and defenses, it's probably a good idea to steer clear of Bay Area players when assembling your fantasy teams.
