Darren McFadden bounced back off of his bye week with 70 rushing yards, 28 receiving yards on three receptions and a rushing score.

McFadden now has 271 rushing yards and two rushing scores on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners needed this for their well being. McFadden was going into Chris Johnson territory and the Raiders haven't been running the ball well at all. His receptions have also seen a big decline after shocking the fantasy world with 16 catches in the opener. McFadden has one of the better fantasy schedules of any fantasy back in the weak AFC West. He'll be a must-start option next week when the Jaguars come to town in the late-afternoon game.
