McFadden (1 Viewer)

[Amused to Death]

Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden missed a third straight day of practice and it would be an upset if he was in the starting lineup this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. McFadden sprained his foot two weeks ago in the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been on crutches since then and will likely be down for this Sunday.

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.

Do you have Bush as well?

 

[need2know]

why dont the raiders rule him out?

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

Does a player need to be on the block to trade for him? Throw out offers. This is just second nature to me I guess. Look at the rosters of the owners. Are they looking like they might need a guy for this week? Are they weak at WR or TE or QB?

 

[DocHolliday]

I am so not sold on Jones. It seems like Bush is going to get 20 carries to Jones's 5.

Nope. I wish I did, but I'm just going to roll the dice.

If mcfadden does somehow play this week would you still consider him a must start?

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

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'll make this easy for you ... He is not going to be active on Sunday (week 9) and he is not going to be active on Thursday (week 10) ... to early to know about week 11 but if we find out he has a lisfranc injury you can kiss 11 and 12 goodbye at minimum

Did you read the Arian Foster/Hammy/Ben tate thread?Some claimed Foster lost his job. Paranoid isn't a strong enough word for that thread...

So I see a lot of optimism for Taiwan Jones. How do people think his performance will stack up to D.J. Ware? I think both could be sneaky plays this week.

Unfortunately, I have both Bradshaw and McFadden, and am sort of scrambling to find a replacement, so my interest is less in being sneaky and more in being sorta desperate.

I am in the same boat. Although, Barber clears waivers tomorrow, so I'm willing to part with Ware to roll the dice on the goal line opportunities.

 

[Sabertooth]

DMC out Sunday per several sources. Optimistic that he'll play the following week.

Bloom and company talked about this at length on the Audible. approx 10-12 carries but Denver has had a tough time with this type of back. So they are expecting a decent outing. With his speed, 10-12 touches could be enough to mean decent production as a flex or RB2 in a bind. I have to use him this week with ADP off and DMC out. Starting him and Murray. I think it's worth a shot as a flex or if you're plagued with injuries. He has been splitting reps in practice with Bush approx 50/50 (cannot recall where I read this).ETA: I don't know what the practice reps have looked like in NY between Jacobs, Ware and Scott.

Raiders RB McFadden still sidelined by mid-foot sprain

NFL.com

Updated: Nov. 4, 2011 at 06:06 p.m.

Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos with a mid-foot sprain, according to Comcast SportsNet Bay Area on Friday.

McFadden has not practiced since being injured after only two carries in a 28-0 loss to Kansas City on Oct. 23 prior to the Raiders' bye week.

Tests last week revealed that McFadden doesn't have any structural damage in his foot but he has been using crutches and a walking boot.

Michael Bush is expected to replace McFadden, who has 113 carries for 614 yards and four touchdowns this season. Bush has 60 carries for 237 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie Taiwan Jones is also expected to see more carries in McFadden's absence

short week to recover after the Den game and want him to be 100% vs a team they are tied for 1st place, makes more sense to me. he'll be playing Thurs.I had some Wheaties this morning

You can't say anything like that for sure. Maybe he just needs 15 days to heal instead of only 14.

[[icon]]

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?

Dear newguy:Yes to the bold.

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.

Because he's not healthy enough to play?

Your answer doesn't make sense. All I am saying is that you don't rush a guy back to play against a team like Denver.

 

[placebo]

The idea of a team that just got shut out 28-0 at home penciling in a win is laughable. Sure the Chargers game is more challenging and more important in theory, but that division race is going to be tight and they need every win they can get. And as we saw in St. Louis last Sunday no team is an easy out (OK, maybe the Colts). The idea that they're playing it safe with DMC is certainly plausible, but I think Oakland's making a mistake if the decision is matchup based.

Because Denver is in the same division, they are only 2 games ahead of Denver

a loss would put them only 1 game ahead

They barely beat Denver the 1st time they played

I agree and was surprised to read that some people actually think the Raiders would even consider sitting DMC if healthy enough to play because they see Denver as an easy win. The League is not like NCAA football where you can rest guys because you are playing Northern Alcorn A&M. There are no gimme games, especially in games with division foes who are longtime rivals.

I do agree with your point but a counter-point could be made that if he is good Thursday then why not this Sunday. If every game is so important that you can't wait until a player is 100%, how much closer will he be to 100% on Thursday as compared to this Sunday? I think that he most likely would of been close enough this Sunday, if he could go Thursday, to at least suit up.

All I'm saying is that a guy may not play simply because he's not healthy enough to, no matter the opponent, situation, etc. He's not healthy enough to play.

I think StL and NO week 8 illustrate this point nicely.

Seems awfully iffy if he's been in a boot and on crutches, and isn't playing this week.

Darren McFadden is still unable to run on his sprained right foot, and his status for Thursday night's game against San Diego is uncertain.

Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle is skeptical that McFadden will be able to play against the Chargers, and it sounds justified. Fantasy owners should keep a close eye on McFadden's progress through Wednesday, because he'll likely need to get in at least some practice time in order to be cleared to play. McFadden suffered the injury on October 23. The original timetable for return was believed to be 2-4 weeks, but McFadden has never been a fast healer. By Thursday, he'll be 18 days removed from the injury.

If he's walking on it but unable to run, that would put him right on pace for that tail end of 2-4 weeks I think.

After Thursday night, the Raiders' next game is on November 20, giving McFadden nearly a full month of off time.
