Darren McFadden Fulfills Fantasy Hype With Big Night Receiving Monday
Darren McFadden had 32 yards rushing, and had 86 yards receiving off a whopping 13 receptions during Monday night’s game between the Raiders and Chargers. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: McFadden did not have a great day rushing, but fantasy owners (in PPR leagues especially) should be relatively pleased this morning. Whether McFadden remains productive depends on Palmer and the rest of the Raiders' offense. McFadden was less effective as the game wore on once it was clear that the Raiders were going to keep getting him touches any way they could at the expense of others. The return of wide receiver Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford from injury, hopefully by next week, should help.
