BA Baracus Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So everyone is very familiar with Darren McFadden's injury history. Anyone who owned him last year knows that even when he was healthy he wasn't that good. I've read a lot about how the zone blocking scheme didn't do him any favors. I also saw film last season that showed DMC running out of bounds when he was one-on-one with a corner in the open field. Running scared doesn't have anything to do with scheme... I have owned him on and off in various leagues since he came to the NFL. When he is on, he is the most valuable RB in fantasy. Historically the problem is that he just gets hurt a lot, but after last year, I am wondering if his career has officially slipped into the realm of mediocrity. Does DMC deserve one more shot on fantasy rosters as a low end #1 or high end #2 back? Because if you want to draft him, that where you have to take him.

BA Baracus Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 LOL...That's how I feel too. He's like crack though...it's hard to get clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That is a tough one to call. Even last year when he was so bad, he still rushed for 110+ yards three times but he stunk in several games as well. in 2011, he was on fire in the first six weeks that had a pace which would have been 2000 total yards and 13 TDs but of course week 7 ended that year. In 2010 he did gain 1664 total yards and 10 scores with 3 games missed. He has never rushed for more than 46 yards in any week 16 game if he is even still playing and has never scored in week 16. That is weird. I think you will see a much better McFadden this year but the risk outweighs the reward in all five previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WashingtonD Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think that people are SO sour on him, that I might grab him in redraft. ADP is around low 30s right now, if he continues to fall into the high 30s/low 40s, I'm probably a buyer at that price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADP is around low 30s right now, if he continues to fall into the high 30s/low 40s, I'm probably a buyer at that price It seems like with McFadden though, there is always one believer who will grab him in the second round. If he made it to the late 3rd early 4th, I'd be all over him, but I have a feeling that if you want him, you have to take him with your second round pick.

Scorcher Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Last year I was offered Ryan Mathews in exchange for my first pick; he was keeping McFadden. Thankfully I declined. I guess the real stinger was that he finished higher than I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devi0us Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If he's available in round 4.06 I'll take a gamble with DMAC as my 2nd RB...I doubt he'd last that far though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustangt125 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I second Taz...not a chance in hell. Let somebody else worry about him all year, especially with those 3:15 kickoffs that leave you screwed if he's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 DMC is one of the few true handcuff RB's left. When they had Bush I wouldn't have hesitated to take him because Bush was money when DMC was out. Unless the rook becomes a clear cut backup that can produce in a pinch I'm staying far away.

Henry Muto Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Come on hard 10...as in 10 TD's and 1,000 yards rushing...Looks like I just rolled the DMC dice in round 4 on him today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
