Week 9 – Darren McFadden at Seattle Seahawks
Heading into last weekend's matchup with a Browns defense that has struggled to stop the run, hopes were high that Darren McFadden, who had been steady but not sensational so far in 2014, might have his first big game of the season. Instead, it was more of the same for the suddenly durable D-Mac, as he produced 85 total yards. Unfortunately, he did not score a touchdown.
Hope are not as high this time around for Darren, as Seattle is a rough place to play, especially with the Seahawks surrendering an average of 89.6 yards on the ground, one of the best totals in the entire league. Nevertheless, with Maurice Jones-Drew looking terrible and McFadden getting plenty of volume, owners in need can start Darren as a low-ceiling flex.
