RB - OAK - Darren McFadden - ACTIVE (1 Viewer)

[Andy Hicks]

If you hear about the status of Darren McFadden, please post only news in here.

Lineup decisions and conjecture, please go to the Assistant Coach forum and an unpinned thread respectively

 

[Clifford]

per rotoworld last minute decisions

* Darren McFadden (hamstring) is going to give it a go, but his role is unclear. Look for Michael Bush to still get plenty of work, leaving McFadden as a low-end RB2 option.

Fanhouse says McFadden is "likely" to play ...

[flooredyas]

CBS says he's a go, albeit questionable about his involvement.

 

[r0llin_game]

Earlier in the week, DMC was slated to be 70/30 towards playing. Fully expect him to be starting today, but with Bush to still garner a share of carries.

 

[Bonka]

Glazer on Fox also says IN, but probably won't get a ton of work.

 

[TeamBlair]

The News

Raiders Week 7 inactives: WR Chaz Schilens, CB Walter McFadden, CB Jeremy Ware, LB Travis Goethel, LB Thomas Howard, DT John Henderson, TE Brandon Myers.

Our View

Darren McFadden and Jason Campbell are both active and starting. McFadden could cede a few more carries than usual to Michael Bush, but if he looks completely healthy early on, he should receive his usual steady diet of touches.

 

[kncks12]

Glad I never listen to a report by Glazer who just says things to think he is in the "in." But, I started McFadden despite his lack of accurate reporting and am benefiting greatly from it

 

[jurrassic]

McFadden is officially a stud when healthy

 

[pantagrapher]

And to think I would have been happy with 10 points.

Thanks for nothing. Started Bush over DMC in 2 leagues after having DMC penciled in all week.

Glazer on Fox also says IN, but probably won't get a ton of work in the second half.

I hope to god you are right.

Every week I listen to people like Jay Glazer, Adam Schefter and Stephania Bell and nearly every week they are wrong

He's on the bench in all but one of my 6 leagues....I own him in one and unless one has a crystal ball it was nearly impossible to predict any sort of monster game out of a guy coming off a hamstring injury, whom was listed as Q/P all week and has a solid RB in it's stable.What is funny is that you're probably so thin at RB that you had no choice to play him and essentially got a gift....those of us with RB depth would've never have started him until we've seen just how healthy he is.I sat him for Turner + HIllis and would've under the circumstances laid out done the same thing 10-10 timesThe only guy that started him was an Owner in a 16 team Dynasty that had options of Aaron Brown, Shawnbrey McNeal + Joe McKnight So maybe the joke's on you

 

[Breesisdaman]

They have any reason to keep DMC in the game now? Maybe he gets a season ending injury while trying to run the score up.

In my Dynasty/IDP league I have McFadden,Britt,L.Evans and D.Hall all on my bench All but Evans had ?,s going into today and Evans has sucked for 3yrs. All that being said I still have a shot at a win this week......prob would be looking at our all time record if I had played those 4 though.

 

[pantagrapher]

Might as well merge this with the venting thread.

All of the points my benches have been garnering is blowing my mind (Kenny Britt & McFadden being the biggest culprits)

 

[pghrob]

McFadden is on my bench and that decision on my part might cost me this week. That said, what a joy to have him on my roster. Is the Broncos defense that bad or is he that good? Probably a little bit of both. Wish I had him.

 

[Ariakis]

Wow I didn't start him in the league I own him ... projected to win so I went safe with Butler as my flex. Will win because my opponent also benched Britt so it evens out but I cost myself A LOT of points in the high points chase in a big money league. Happy for next week though hopefully he comes out healthy

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Kinda lucky that I was forced to start McF with Foster/Best on bye. I missed those other guys' monster games in some of the leagues in which I own them but thankfully started McF 2/2 times this week. Awesome game.

Cbs shows him owned in 98% of leagues, and only started in 16%. So those of us with him on our bench had a lot of company.

That said, I'm ecstatic to see this performance. Hopefully this cements his role going forward - now if only he can stay healthy!

 

[thatguythere]

Left him on the bench in my money league and missed out on the 37 points. I'm glad I can't change my lineup in the Subscriber though where he put up 44.6 with Best and Foster on bye. Thank you and fu at the same time.
