They had a Power scheme. Sad days. im benching him until i see something better. It is a good think i have other options.
PIT isn't nearly as stout as they have been in the past. Old man McGahee averaged 4.0 YPC against them and using Greene's performance as some type barometer to measure future performances against them is laughable. I guarantee you that DMC totals no less than 100 totals yards against them next week. People already jumping ship on DMC are cracking me up tbh.
It is not DMC as much as it is the Raider Oline and running scheme. Either way, the benching begins this week if you have decent options.'Bobble Fett said:
the only way I could see doing it is if you have another great option staring you in the face. not many rbs offer the upside of McFadden. I cant imagine how horrible I would feel to bench him and he has a monster game
I think the Steelers can be run on this year. Oakland is at home and will be in desperation mode. Dmac will be the focus of the offense again this week and I could easily see at least one td. I have Ridley, Reggie Bush and Dmac and I'm planning to go with Dmac and Bush over Ridley. However, a 2nd straight ineffective week and it's time to be worried.
I have Lynch and Murray as my other options, so there is a chance I'll be benching him. Honestly though, I have a feeling he's going to have a good game this week.
Same here. I am concerned that he didn't get all of those cheap PPR points last week, but he did still have 7 targets...so hopefully that number picks up.
You can add me to the list here. The last time he played Pittsburgh (2010) he only managed something like 11 yards rushing, but broke 60 yards on a bunch of receptions. Even with his struggles I think it'd be hard to bench him unless you feel strongly that you have another pair of likely top 20 backs.
if he were to get those numbers plus a touchdown that would be a great day. he is due for a Td
I'm giving him one more week to out-score Reggie Bush or I make the switch.
if you get the deal you want go for it, but a rb like lynch does not have the upside of McFadden. not even close (you probably know this). if another bad game comes sunday you wont get decent value back I agree with you and then you will be stuck with him. I still think he will have more great games than games like this past week. I am thinking/hoping that week one the raiders were held down by an underrated SD def. week two they were done in by the cross country trip to south fl and were just outplayed. they will probably lose again to pitt on sunday but their offense should be able to do something in desperation mode at home...
What is the upside when your team will likely only get to the redzone 2-3 times every week? Sell sell sell. Darren McFadden is flex fodder at best going forward.
BINGO!!!
This is what I'm thinking but he's not low enough yet. I am hoping for a clunker against Pitt then offering Alfred Morris for him.
Redraft or dynasty? Prob moot as I cant see a DMC owner making that move. Let me know if it works as I have Morris in a few leagues as well
As a McFadden owner in both dynasty and redraft, you are correct. Just....no.
Its realistically going to take the OLine a few more weeks of the ZB scheme to get use to it. See Seattle last year. Even so.. not starting your stud after two weeks is a bad idea.
Just to clarify. Your position is that McFadden finishes the season worse than RB24?
Yeah, that's hilarious. McFadden finished last year at RB36 with only playing in 7 games.
This is where I think people are mistaken. I jumped ship on McFadden after week 1. He had a pretty good fantasy day in 0.5 ppr because of the receptions, but having watched the game I was seriously worried. That offense is absolutely terrible. I see the Raiders with a top 3 pick come April. I just don't think they'll be in many games. He has no room to run, and cuts a VERY frustrated figure. He's an amazing RB, just on a terrible team.
I could totally see someone going for that.
Bingo. He could explode, but his floor (when healthy) is a lot lower than we thought before the season.
McFadden doesn't need to be in the redzone to score TDs.
Exactly. I was a preseason critic of McFadden partly because of the ZB scheme and how badly he did with it in the past, and because he is unable to play hurt. But, if he is starting you MUST play him, especially in PPR. And you don't make conclusions about a whole season based on one bad game. Every player has a dud now and then.
You need to stop with that avatar. I get busted just staring at it.I refuse to sit McFadden. He's way too talented, overdue, and as said above he'll probably have a good game because no one expects it.BINGO!!!
Goodson is his back-up
its goodson by a mile. Jones has yet to have any impact in the two games
