Darren McFadden breaks out for fantasy owners in Week 8

This was McFadden’s second 100-yard game of 2012 and his highest rushing total of the season.
Fantasy Impact: The Raiders have an easy schedule going forward as far as run defenses go, so we should expect so see better numbers from McFadden. He only averaged 3.9 yards per carry in Week 8, but he nearly broke a few big runs, and Oakland looks determined to force feed him right now.
Tampa Bay is next on the schedule. After seeing what Adrian Peterson did to the Bucs this past week, McFadden’s owners should feel optimistic about his outlook.
