"No structural damage" was the last thing I heard, and that sounds positive. We'll probably have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday to see if he practices.

A healthy McFadden
There's already concern in this area, as running back Darren McFadden has a midfoot sprain of unknown severity. He could be back against Denver on Nov. 6, but it's no slam dunk.
The Raiders can get by without McFadden for short periods of time by using Michael Bush and increasing the workload of explosive rookie Taiwan Jones.
If McFadden were to be out for an extended amount of time because of this injury or one down the road, the Raiders aren't deep enough to be a championship level team without their most dynamic playmaker.

(RotoWire) McFadden (foot) is "no slam dunk" to play Sunday against Denver, The Contra Costa Times reports.
Analysis: McFadden suffered a foot sprain in Week 7 and has had the bye to rest up. We'll know more starting Wednesday when we start getting practice reports. At this point, McFadden has to be considered questionable for the game against Denver, with Michael Bush serving as a competent backup should he be sidelined.

I own Bush as a handcuff in my DMC league and I think I would like to see him take this week off as Bush should be just fine against Denver's D. I'd rather DMC come back completely 100% or as close as he can instead of coming back a bit too early..
If you don't have Bush and drafted DMC then shame on you.

seems like people get off track in alot of these threads. does it really matter that the guy's signature is long? maybe he is new to fantasy, spends alot of time in The Assistant Coach seeking advice, etc. I know that I wouldn't want to constantly tell people my scoring system and roster each time I was seeking trade or add/drop advice.
People come on this forum to get news, advice, etc., not to get ripped on for having "too long of a signature". Is there an unspoken rule about this?
Anyway, just my opinion, you all may completely disagree and that's fine. I'm just suggesting that we can give the "long signature guys" some slack.
Anyway, thanks for the info on McFadden...

Do you honestly think anyone cares that a few people have said nice things about you? How do compliments constitute a wall of fame anyway? Lame.

What makes you think a Lisfranc?
footballnerd
Footballguy
that's it, time to step outside!
chickenlittle
Footballguy
maybe because he still is in a walking boot 10 days after the game and they list it as a mid-ankle sprain which is the location of the dreaded Lisfranc
this.sigs can be turned off. lol at complaining about them when they have the power to avoid them.

I actually heard a Saints player on the radio discussing the Lisfranc injury Ivory had had. It is not necessarily a fracture or break, it can essentially be a ligament tear, strain or pull, depending. The word "sprain" is similar I think, but of a different maybe lesser variety.I have no idea if this is all correct but that is how the player (a LB who had rehabbed with Ivory) described it.Essentially if all this was correct it would be nothing new, a sprained foot, depends on how severe, i.e. need more info and who knows. But I think we all agree that if McFadden misses next week's game it's a big rut-roh time.Lisfranc:http://www.aafp.org/afp/980700ap/burrough.html"Sprains are the most common injury, with the midfoot sprain being the least severe injury. The severity of the sprain usually depends on the energy absorbed at the time of injury. Most tarsometatarsal ligament injuries are grade I (pain at the joint, with minimal swelling and no instability) or grade II (increased pain and swelling at the joint, with mild laxity but no instability). The more severe grade III sprain represents complete ligamentous disruption and may represent fracture-dislocation."

reading about lisfranc injuries makes it seem unlikely. for all the instances i can find, they end the player's season. rhett, staley, ronnie brown, ivory, freeney, schobel.
seems the mildest takes about 6-8 to recover from which for a football player i guess you could be optimistic for 4 weeks.

I'm rooting for Taiwan Jones!!
Dear guy with 50,000 plus posts in a fantasy football forum,Think it's time for you to get a new hobby.
Anyway, that's it for me in this BS of a forum. Think I'd rather do my own research then read this crap every day.
Good luck

At the very least you could do is have some fine Kentucky Bourbon as your avatar instead of that rot gut Tennessee Whiskey Jack Daniels. That's some nasty stuff.'KOTC said:

I think the Shark Pool has become the very thing Joe & David tried so long to prevent. Seems most threads these days get littered with pissing matches and AC questions. And the bragging posts letting us all know what round they got a player in. The Shark Pool is more yellow now than ever before, imo. Maybe its just me, but I've noticed a distinct lack of mod presence this year.'ThePittbully said:28 posts and 70% of it is a pissing contest

Good point. Back to McFadden: Gut feeling is that he sits. M. Bush = 17 rushes, 85 yards. 1 catch, 5 yards.I think the Shark Pool has become the very thing Joe & David tried so long to prevent.

If he sits, your projections are reasonable. The key thing to watch is if he practices today or not. If he doesn't practice today, then I doubt he plays. If he is limited, then you have to check tomorrow too.Good point. Back to McFadden: Gut feeling is that he sits. M.

ugh...from a boot on thursday to playing on Sunday? Definitely not a must start.

He's one of my studs with a nice match up...if he plays, he's in my lineup for better or worse.

The matchup itself isn't that great. Denver is pretty good against the run. What makes it appealing is what DMC did against the Broncos in Week 1.
DocHolliday

Since McFadden did not practice at all yesterday, there is little chane that he is playing on Sunday. If he plays, he is in my starting lineup but that is due to desperation. Today's practice report is the deciding factor. If he does not practice at all today, there is very little chance he plays on Sunday.

Tim Tebow turnovers could find great field position often, damn our short benches

Denver's ranked 17th against the run. Pretty average. Taking into account McFadden's week 1 production against them I consider it a nice match up. Hopefully he can go.

I think those are stat projections of a hopeful T Jones owner. If there is no McFadden then I don't see a scenario where Bush doesn't get at least 20 carries. Oakland averages 31 runs per game. I have to believe they will be either in the game with Denver or way ahead so I don't know why 27 carries would be your projection.Good point. Back to McFadden: Gut feeling is that he sits. M.

you can't turn off individual sigs, only all sigs. Some peoples sigs are hilarious, some waste a ton a space by listing their roster and giving each player its own line.'cvnpoka said:

If he's active on Sunday I think you'd have to play him unless you've got other superior options. Whether he practices today should give us a better idea.

I just scooped up Taiwan Jones off waiver and I'm putting on the full court press to trade for McFadden in a league because of it. Not that anyone gives a rat's ### about my team, just stating it as a very low risk buy low strategy with a ton of upside either way.

Let us know how low you buy. He's not on the block in any league I play in.
