Raiders beat writer Vittorio Tarfur was asked about the chances of RB Cedric Benson signing with the team: "Solid chance. Next couple of weeks."

Fantasy Impact: 

If signed, Benson would likely slide into the RB2 role behind Darren McFadden and would be a fairly cheap backup for the extremely talented yet injury prone McFadden.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie admits that he hasn't found a replacement for Michael Bush, the 6-foot-1, 245-pound back who handled short-distance duties and filled in for the injured Darren McFadden last year.

"We don't have that big back, but we've got a couple of backs that are playing fullback for us that can be that guy," McKenzie said. "We feel good about the versatility of (Marcel Reece), and all our fullbacks have the ability to run it. (Owen Schmitt) can run it, short yardage. We got some guys that can, I'm kind of anxious to see them in preseason."

Fantasy Impact: 

Reece's role could increase significantly with Bush gone, though it sounds like Mike Goodson is the RB2 in Oakland right now. In short yardage, the team may elect to use McFadden since he is pretty adept around the goal line.

Raiders RB Darren McFadden is tending to a youth football camp in his home state of Arkansas and wasn't present, while Marcel Reece is just getting immersed in the system after signing his exclusive rights tender Monday.

That left the bulk of the work at running back to trade acquisition Mike Goodson and second-year back Taiwan Jones. Goodson got most of the first-team work and continued to impress.

Fantasy Impact: 

Goodson appears to be ahead of Jones as McFadden's backup, though the team would likely take a committee approach, with Reece getting some work as well.

Darren McFadden is "making cuts at full speed"

Running back Darren McFadden is on track to make a successful return to the field after missing the final nine games last season with a severely sprained foot.

That’s according to running backs coach Kelly Skipper, who offered the most in depth report on McFadden’s health since the injury occurred.

“The thing about Darren is, he didn’t have any major surgeries, so he’s able to come back her healthy and he’s playing at a high level right now and it’s offseason,” Skipper said. “So, that’s a good thing. He didn’t have surgery so he’s going to be off the whole spring. Nah, that’s not the case. He’s out here. You would never know he got hurt. He’s making cuts at full speed, everything.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Not counting the game in which he was injured, McFadden averaged 17.7 fantasy points (standard format) in six games in 2012, which ranked 4th among RBs behind Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy and Ray Rice. The big question mark with McFadden is durability. He has missed 12 games over the last two seasons as the Raiders' feature back, and with Michael Bush in Chicago, there isn't a clear handcuff for owners to draft as insurance.
