Both D's sucked against the run last year. That's partly why the Raiders brought in Gibril Wilson (who should be huge if you use a DB spot in IDP leagues).
Rnk Team Att Yds Yd/Att Yd/game

It wasn't real pretty fantasy wise (except maybe for Pittman owners) - but Oakland ran for 150 yds, Denver ran for 142 so that was pretty typical.
I was a little disappointed neither team seemed real intent on finding 'the guy' at RB. I have a hard time believing the Raiders went into the year thinking Fargas would get 20 carries a game - or Denver went in wanting to get Michael Pittman as many carries as supposed starter Selvin Young.
