Will Wheatley start?

Is Wheatley going to play this week or is Garner back in the starting lineup?  If Garner does start, would Pittman be a better play?  I could always play Toomer in place of both Wheatley and Pittman.  What do you think?

The last I read, Wheatley was going to start and he should be a good play this week.  The KC defensive front has proven to be susceptible to the run, and Oakland's passing attack is certainly less potent with Mirer at the helm.

Raiders: Garner practices; might play
by Fanball Staff - Fanball.com

News
Finally, the Raiders get some good injury news. Charlie Garner (back) practiced Thursday for the first time in two weeks ago and could play in Sunday’s game at Kansas City. “He's gotten quite a bit of reps,” Coach Bill Callahan told the Mercury News. “He's practicing pretty well. He's loosening up more and more on the practice field. Another good day of practice and another day of rest on Saturday and he should be ready to play, hopefully.” Garner has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable and is on course to play for the first time since Nov. 9, when he was injured on his opening run against the New York Jets.

If Garner returns it obviously sends Tyrone Wheatly back into fantasy obscurity, as he'll go back to third down duties. Oakland also signed J.R. Redmond, who could see time if Charlie isn’t back to 100 percent. Wait for confirmation, but it looks like Garner will be in Oakland’s lineup Sunday.

I've read that Callahan says he expects Garner to get 10-15 touches and for Wheatly to get the bulk of the carries.
 
Toomer plays opposite Ronde Barber and has a size advantage, but TB does well against WRs.
 
Wheatly has a chance, because KC can be beaten by RBs (like Rudi did) and because OAK needs to run it on them this week to have a chance.
 
It's a crap shoot.  But if it were my choice, I'd go with Wheatly out of the three.
