2008 rookie season

For all intents and purposes McFadden's rookie campaign was a bust. True he came down with turf toe early and the Raiders decided to rest him for a few games. I believe this was a good move, as it will insure his toe stays healthy.

Deon Sanders played on turf toe and was never the dominant corner he used to be. I hope LT does not suffer the same as Deon because he played on his turf toe last year without resting it.

Another problem Darren had is that the Raiders choose to give the starting job to veteran runner Justin Fargas. This slowed #20's opportunity for consistency from week to week. How ever he did show us what he is capable of in week 2 at the Chiefs, when on 21 carries he posted 164 yards rushing and a touchdown. The key part of that game to me was the 21 carries as McFadden would have only 1 other game, with more than 12 carries (14 carries week 3) the rest of the year!


McFadden's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
This off-season Darren is having a solid spring and showing his explosion once again. If he isn't the starting tailback for the Raiders to start the season I will be shocked. Bottom line is the Raiders spent a 4th overall pick on this kid and it's time to see a return on that lucrative investment. His value will also be helped with the signing of full back Larenzo Neal from the Ravens.

While Darren has all the tools to be a fantasy star I don't see that happening this season with Fargas and Michael Bush getting theirs as well. But I do believe the man from Arkansas will take a big step forward in this season. Look for Darren as a solid #3 running back for your team and I believe he will make you smile all season long.
