DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs New England

Darren McFadden saw only five less snaps than Joseph Randle last week, and had only two less carries. The point is McFadden might be the moving towards actually splitting time in the Cowboys backfield. It appears a goal line fumble hurt Randle's standing, so McFadden could be the beneficiary.

The Patriots are the next opponent for the Cowboys and they have been pretty good against the run ranked 10th in aFPA to running backs. McFadden's stock could be rising, so keep an eye on the snaps and carries. For Week 5, he should remain on the bench.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Giants
The Cowboys brought in Darren McFadden with the hope he can become their No. 1 back, and he might eventually get a shot. For Week 1, we expect him to split time with Joseph Randle. One of the backs will get the bulk of the carries, but it is still to be determined and now Christine Michael is in the mix. Against an average Giants run defense, McFadden should get enough touches to start as an RB3 or flex this Sunday night.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
2015 represents a new chapter for Darren McFadden as his time in Oakland was mostly a disappointment. There is no doubt that McFadden can play. He has shown great physical skills and could be an every-down back in the league if he can avoid injuries and repeat his performance from 2010. Dallas will run the football behind one of the best offensive lines in football, so there will be opportunities.

Fantasy Downside
There are several reasons McFadden has not reached his potential. Staying on the field has been a problem. He has also been inconsistent and has seen backs on his own team outperform him. He is currently second on the Cowboys depth chart, so he is probably going to have to count on Joseph Randle under-performing or getting injury in order to become the every-down back.

Bottom Line
McFadden is getting a second chance. Will he get the opportunity to succeed? That is the big question. For now, he will have to wait his turn and there is a good chance he will only be a backup. His ADP is 116, so he isn't more than a late-round flier as a handcuff for Randle right now. If you want McFadden, don't overreach. It won't be worth it.

OAK RB Darren McFadden - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 – Darren McFadden at Denver Broncos

Darren McFadden had one of his stronger performances of 2014 last weekend as Oakland upset Buffalo. McFadden wasn’t terribly active in a reserve role behind Latavius Murray, but averaged six yards a carry and accumulated 54 yards. Nevertheless, with limited work and Denver’s tough run defense on tap, McFadden is off the flex radar.

OAK RB Darren McFadden - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 – Darren McFadden vs. Buffalo Bills
With Latavius Murray now carrying the load in the Oakland backfield, there is little for Darren McFadden to do. The declining veteran had two carries in Week 15. It would be a major surprise if McFadden made a fantasy impact in the final two games of the season.

OAK RB Darren McFadden - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Darren McFadden at Oakland Raiders
Finally taking a back seat to Latavius Murray and Marcel Reece, Darren McFadden finished Week 14 with four carries for five yards. If by chance McFadden is still on your roster and you need to make a move to bolster your chances of success in the playoffs, he can be waived without a second thought.

OAK RB Darren McFadden - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Darren McFadden vs. San Francisco 49ers

With Latavius Murray sidelined last Sunday, Darren McFadden headed up Oakland’s backfield committee and was predictably ineffective, rushing for 27 yards on 11 carries. He also had two catches for 18 yards. Murray will be back for the Battle of the Bay Area, making McFadden even more unwelcome with fantasy owners than he already is.
