How will Darren McFadden do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Oakland Raiders
McFadden should be able to put up top 10 numbers this year! (possibly even top 5 ... if he can stay healthy)

Who is a better draft pick: Chris Johnson or Darren McFadden?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Darren McFadden, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Rashard Mendenhall?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers
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
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
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
I think McFadden could have another big year. I'm also scared of Forte losing some goal line looks...
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens
Who is a better draft pick: Chad Henne or Jason Campbell?
Asked in: Chad Henne, Jason Campbell, Quarterbacks, Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders
For fantasy purposes I'd have to say Campbell just because he has somewhat of a ground game. Neither can really throw the ball.
Who is a better draft pick: Jon Kitna or Jason Campbell?
Asked in: Jon Kitna, Jason Campbell, Quarterbacks, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders
Who is a better draft pick: Jason Campbell or Matt Hasselbeck?
Asked in: Jason Campbell, Matt Hasselbeck, Quarterbacks, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans
Can I vote neither? I don't think either one of them should be drafted, but if you absolutely have to, gotta go Hasselbeck. I thought he actually looked pretty good last night.
Who is a more exciting player: Chris Johnson or Darren McFadden?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Darren McFadden, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders
Who is a more exciting player: Darren McFadden or Rashard Mendenhall?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers
Who is a more exciting player: Darren McFadden or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles
Who is a more exciting player: Darren McFadden or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons
Turner, he plays in a much better offense and they looove to run the ball.
Who is a more exciting player: Danny Woodhead or Michael Bush?
Asked in: Danny Woodhead, Michael Bush, Running Backs, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders
I personally like watching Woodhead play. There is something exciting about a little guy being so effective amongst much bigger guys. The fact that he is a flex receiver/running back adds more dimension to his game, especially since he is running with Brady's offense. I guess excitment is a relative term not necessarily indicative of fantasy points, but I take Woodhead in this one.

Who is a more exciting player: Jahvid Best or Michael Bush?
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Michael Bush, Running Backs, Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders
Jahvid Best, especially with the LeShoure injury. Bush won't do anything until Run DMC goes down with an injury.
Who is a more exciting player: LeGarrette Blount or Michael Bush?
Asked in: LeGarrette Blount, Michael Bush, Running Backs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders
LeGarrette is poised for a huge year. Bush will take the back seat until McFadden gets hurt.

Who is a more exciting player: Michael Bush or Ryan Mathews?
Asked in: Michael Bush, Ryan Mathews, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers
Michael Bush is definitely way more exciting than Ryan Mathews when he gets to start in place of an injured Darren McFadden, but I feel like Mathews is going to have a really big year on the ground.
Who is a more exciting player: Michael Bush or Marshawn Lynch?
Asked in: Michael Bush, Marshawn Lynch, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks
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
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.
Who do you think is a better week 1 start - Thomas Jones or Michael Bush?
Asked in: Thomas Jones, Michael Bush, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders
I hope you're not starting either of them, but I'd go with TJ. He produced last year along side Jamaal Charles.
Is Darren McFadden a top 10 back in this league?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Jason Campbell, Oakland Raiders
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
Who do I start in my flex spot, Chris Johnson (vs. BAL), Fred Jackson (vs. OAK) or Steve Smith (vs. GB)?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Fred Jackson, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Running Backs
Gotta go CJ2K, despite the matchup. Oakland is a fierce defense, and I don't think Steve Smith can replicate last week. I might consider trading him.
McFadden or Fred Jackson?
Asked in: Fred Jackson, Darren McFadden, Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders
McFadden. jets run d is ok but the patriot run d is really good.
Defense rankings? Oakland 3rd highest scoring defense?
Asked in: Oakland D/ST, Oakland Raiders, Defenses, New York Giants D/ST
I'm buying Oakland. I like them a lot. Definitely over ARI, don't know about NYG.
Denarius Moore or Dexter McCluster at the flex?
Asked in: Denarius Moore, Dexter McCluster, Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Wide Receivers
V. Cruz, Denarius Moore, or Plaxico week 4?
Asked in: New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets
Moore is the best bet. NE Secondary is Garbage. they have allowed alot of passing yards .
How do you think Carson Palmer will do with the Raiders?
Asked in: Carson Palmer, Quarterbacks, Oakland Raiders
I think it's going to take a few weeks. Even though he's been training and staying in physical shape, he needs to get up to game speed. Not to mention he needs to develop some trust with the receivers.
