Oakland Raiders running back is listed as questionable with a hamstring strain for Thanksgiving's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He is likely looking like a game-time decision.
Darren McFadden questionable for Thanksgiving, Rashad Jennings fantasy owners will have to wait
Darren McFadden is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Cowboys. We break down the fantasy implications.


McFadden has been out for two weeks with his injury after pulling up lame against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 3. Rashad Jennings has been terrific as the starter with a three 100-yard games and scoring once in the last three games.
Fantasy impact: This puts fantasy owners in a tight spot, but thank goodness for smart phones. There's really no way an owner can count on McFadden since he'll likely have to share the load with Jennings. However, Jennings would basically be a must-start should McFadden sit. The Cowboys don't have Sean Lee at middle linebacker and their defense simply is not the same without him. Owners will want to set an alarm an hour before the game kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET to check on McFadden's status. If he's out, make sure Jennings is in your lineup at running back. McFadden should still be owned, of course, since he's close to returning.
