(+) Has started off his last two seasons hotter than most anybody. His first three games last year were huge fantasy games
(+) DMAC won't have to give up carries to Michael Bush any longer
(+) In fact, he doesn’t have much of a threat from anyone stealing his carries this year (best backup is smallish Taiwan Jones or Mike Goodson)
(+) All indications point to RUNDMC being totally healed from his Lisfranc foot dislocation injury
(+) With Carson Palmer at QB and Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford at WR, the Raiders have an explosive offense
(+) When healthy, McFadden is the most dynamic running back in the league
(–) In four NFL seasons, Darren has yet to play more than 13 games in any one of them
(–) Due to his injury history, it's scary to walk out of drafts with him as your RB1. He might be better suited as a studly RB2
Darren McFadden
~ Ranked 56th in the league with 60.2 RB fantasy points (basic scoring system)
~ Tied for 74th in the league with 1 rushing touchdowns
~ Tied for 228th in the league with 1 total touchdowns
~ Ranked 54th in the league with 357 rushing yards
~ Ranked 53rd in the league with 29.8 rushing yards per game
~ Tied for 49th in the league with 104 attempts
~ Tied for 68th in the league with 1 rush of 20+ yards
~ Tied for 71st in the league with 13 rushes for first downs
~ Lost 4 fumbles on the year
~ Tied for 37th among running backs with 21 receptions
~ Ranked 25th among running backs with 245 receiving yards
~ Set career high in yards/reception (11.7)
We wish we had this forum to rip this pick when the Raiders made it a few years ago. Criminally over-drafted, Darren McFadden is fast, big and strong, but just might not be much of a football player. He’s relatively skinny through the legs and waist and goes down far too easily because of it, plus heʼs been injured and unproductive from the moment he stepped in the league. Desperate Raiders fans or guys in your league that want to justify their dynasty picks may talk this guy up and call him their sleeper of the year, but let them waste their breath.

Darren signed a six-year, $60 million contract back in June of ‘08 that contained $26 million guaranteed and a $6.4 million “log” bonus. The rest is listed below:
2010 - $3,937,500
2011 - $4,593,750
2012 - $5.25 million
2013 - $660,000
2014 - Free Agent
Michael Bush is the necessary handcuff to McFadden, seeing that either one could breakout this year
Battled turf toe for most of the ’08 season, had shoulder surgery before the '09 season, then tore his meniscus during the '09 season
Yeah, he's a risk
