Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden was the focal point of the team's offense on Monday night, breaking off big gains rushing and receiving. McFadden was only in the game for the team's first possession but he managed to collect 20 yards on two rushing attempts and gained 18 yards on his lone reception. Carson Palmer and the rest of the passing offense didn't look sharp, so McFadden was a welcome bright spot for the Radiers' offense.

He has never played a full season in his career, which is the biggest concern his fantasy owners will have this season.
