Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Rashard Mendenhall?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers

1Jeremy Levine
I'm real high on McFadden this year, so I'd take him over Mendy. More upside.

Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles

1Matthew H
I like McFadden because it's pretty obvious that the Raiders are making commitment to both him and the run game as a whole. Looking at last season's game log, it's pretty clear that DMC was an 18-20 carry/game type of player, plus receptions, whereas McCoy is more of a 12-15 carry/game type of player. This is not a negligible difference, as I believe a healthy DMC will get 50 more carries (not touches) over the course of an entire season (say maybe 225 for LeSean, 275 for McFadden). Plus, it also bothers me about McCoy that so much of his production came via dumpoffs, which is nice, but is not something that is a good bet to be repeated.

Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons

0Aaron Jackson
I would say Turner, just because of his track record. Run DMC has huge upside but he is not as proven. You know what you're getting with Turner.

Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears

1Stacy Robert Reagan
I think McFadden could have another big year. I'm also scared of Forte losing some goal line looks...

Who is a more exciting player: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons

0Johnny Hewitt
Turner, he plays in a much better offense and they looove to run the ball.

RUN DMC or MENDENHALL?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Darren McFadden

5Nik Bonaddio
If it's me, I think I'd rather have Mendenhall. I don't love him, but I don't like the situation in Oakland at all. Bad QB, no receivers, and Michael Bush taking some carries.

Does Terrelle Pryor make the Raiders a playoff contender this year? Does he even play?
Asked in: Oakland Raiders, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Michael Bush, Darren McFadden, Oakland D/ST

2Keith Goldner
Absolutely not, I doubt he even plays. The kid has raw athletic talent, but he won't make any difference in the NFL for awhile.

Would you keep McFadden over Rodgers in a 14 team PPR if you had the 12th pick?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Aaron Rodgers

2Nathaniel Achord
I guess to be fair it would depend on who else you have. But, seriouslly is this a real question??? Rodgers is the #1 QB, without question! Being drafted on avg of #6 that's first round in every league! Come On!!

Who should I keep? $200 cap. Mcfadden at $33 or Felix Jones at $20. We start 2RB and a flex.
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Felix Jones

0Ben Johnston
If you can't hold on to both, I would go with Jones. I expect similar numbers from them, making Jones a better value.

Who is a better start: Darren McFadden or Rashard Mendenhall?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall

0Brian Hayashi
I pick McFadden to have a better start...I think people are underestimating just how good the OAK offense will be with Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore. Plus, Hue Jackson had reportedly asked McFadden last spring to tell him what plays he felt most comfortable running and incorporated his ideas into this year's gameplan...something that didn't happen last year, when the gameplan revolved around Jason Campbell, DHB and Zach Miller. That being said, Mendenhall's schedule is a lot more favorable than it was last year, and the Steelers have a good shot at being the top-scoring offense at least during the first half of the season.

I got foster, mcfadden, and wells. now if foster is a game day decision should i just put wells
Asked in: Arian Foster, Houston Texans, Darren McFadden, Beanie Wells

1numberFire, inc.
Good question! I'd go DMC. Beanie is good but unproven, at least you know what you're getting with DMC.

Is Darren McFadden a top 10 back in this league?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Jason Campbell, Oakland Raiders

2Jd Dre
Based on last year he is.If he does crappy tonight, don't fret, wait a few games, he'll come on.

Have you ever seen a worse game than Broncos vs. Raiders?
Asked in: Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Kyle Orton, Darren McFadden, Brandon Lloyd

1Anthony Best
I couldn't tell you! I literally fell asleep by halftime!!!!!

If a player is projected under .50 for a TD, do you count that as a non-scoring week?
Asked in: Darren McFadden

0Nik Bonaddio
Hmm, that's an interesting question, Tim. I would say that yeah, generally speaking, we think he's more likely not to score than score. One of the things that I find weird about ESPN and Yahoo! is that they tend to think in terms of full value (either 1 TD or 0 TD), which can lead to fairly misleading projections.

McFadden or Fred Jackson?
Asked in: Fred Jackson, Darren McFadden, Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders

2mike sampson
McFadden. jets run d is ok but the patriot run d is really good.

Would you trade Vick and Bradshaw or Fred Jackson FOR Mcfadden and AJ Green or Decker? Stupidly took Vick as number 2 pick in the draft. Have Rex Grossman as current QB and Eli Manning as a possible alternative
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Vick, Ahmad Bradshaw

0Sean Weinstock
I'm starting to have a lot more faith in Buffalo and Fred Jackson. I love McFadden though. Not sure if I want a Cinci or Denver receiver. Who's your QB otherwise?

Trade M. Schaub for D. McFadden?
Asked in: Darren McFadden

0Ben Johnston
Without knowing anything about your team or your scoring, I would definitely make this trade. McFadden is arguably one of the top 5 players to have overall right now, while Schaub is not. In addition, the difference between a top tier running back and a second tier is greater than it is with QBs.

Need to drop someone to make room for a kicker.
Asked in: Chad Henne, Josh Freeman, Darren McFadden, Fred Jackson, Jordy Nelson, Dexter McCluster, Steve Johnson, Daniel Thomas, Ahmad Bradshaw, Nate Washington

3Anthony Best
I would drop Clark.. Even with the new kid they are still going to use him more as a blocker this year

Should I trade D Mac
Asked in: Eli Manning, Darren McFadden, Ray Rice, Mike Williams (TB)

2Ben Johnston
I wouldn't do it. You can generally pick up serviceable QB fill-ins, but you won't find anything close to McFadden.

Which four?
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, DeSean Jackson, Beanie Wells, Darren McFadden, Jeremy Maclin, Isaac Redman, Steve Johnson, Mark Ingram, Wide Receivers, Running Backs

2Daniel Okopnyi
Stevie and Desean for the first two. I don't like Beanie as much as everyone else does, I say Redman.

Mcfadden and torrey smith for steve smith and jahvid best?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Steve Smith (CAR), Jahvid Best, Torrey Smith

0Patrick Frank
It's tough to justify getting rid of your best player but this is a pretty good deal. Both Smith and Best have risk but there's probably enough upside to justify this trade.

I've got McFadden and D Jackson for Megatron and Bradshaw (or Mendenhall).
Asked in: Darren McFadden, DeSean Jackson, Calvin Johnson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Rashard Mendenhall

2R J
You're giving up Megatron and Bradshaw? Who else do you have at WR? Is it PPR? Who else is at RB?

Need 2 for Week 12: Adrian Peterson, McFadden, Michael Bush, Ben Tate, Kevin Smith, Ryan Mathews
Asked in: Adrian Peterson, Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Kevin Smith, Ryan Mathews

1Keith Goldner
AP is out. I would start Run DMC if active, if not, then Bush. And in your 2nd spot I would start Mathews.
