Keep your eye on ...

Raiders rookie RB Darren McFadden: The No. 4 overall pick has starred in the preseason, gaining 182 yards on 34 carries (5.4 yards per carry). He is behind veteran Justin Fargas on the depth chart, but could see his share of touches.

Javon Walker facing his former team: Walker, who played for the Broncos the last two seasons, will start alongside Ronald Curry for the Raiders. Walker had an injury-plagued 2007 and an up-and-down preseason this year, catching four passes for 60 yards, all in the third preseason game.

Denver's running back situation: The Broncos will rely on a pair of second-year backs. Selvin Young will get the start, but may share carries with Andre Hall, who had a strong preseason.
