Analysis: McFadden is a top back in this league, and unlike Adrian Peterson or Jamaal Charles, is not coming back from something to the severity of an ACL injury.

McFadden is shaping up to be an early second round pick in most 10-12 team fantasy leagues. McFadden is brimming with talent and if he can stay healthy, he is in for a 1,000-plus yard season and perhaps double-digit all-purpose TD's.
