Darren McFadden Hurt

Speedy88 · 11-04-12, 06:05 PM

X-rays negative. Hopefully it is just a minor thing, but my guess is it is more than a small injury if he has been tagged doubtful to return.

Jrod124 · 11-04-12, 06:24 PM

hopefully DMC isn't serious but with that mash unit you call a RB corps it prolly wasn't your year anyway. Fantasy Basketball is here

Speedy88 · 11-04-12, 06:33 PM

Not even sure how great of a pickup Goodson will be. Raiders have a bottom 5 run game. I'll definitely try to pick him up off waivers, but even if I do get him, I doubt he'll ever be a great start on any given week. Not sure if I'd start him ahead of my bench guys like Fred Jackson, LeShoure or Rashad Jennings.

MexicanStallion · 11-04-12, 06:56 PM

Not so fast. There goes Mike Goodson with an injury.

Speedy88 · 11-04-12, 07:21 PM

Down goes Goodson. If both Goodson and DMC are out, Raiders should just scrap their run game. If DMC can barely average 3 yards a carry, imagine how a 3rd stringer would do. Raiders are a mess......as usual.

This was a throw away week for me.

Week starts off with D.Sproles breaking his hand, then P.Harvin twisting his ankle today. Two of my explosive players, hurt.

Jrod124 · 11-04-12, 07:56 PM

Yeah I am in 5 leagues, 3 of which I was going against Doug Martin. You go against a guy who gets over 60 points its prolly a wrap.

Speedy88 · 11-04-12, 08:42 PM

I'm just a bit upset because if it weren't for DMC and my kicker Shayne Graham combining for 3 points, I'd likely have a sure win.

Im up 14 with Maclin left and my opponent has Celek and Colston. Probably have a 50/50 shot at winning. Hoping Namdi brings his A-game against Colston. I'd imagine Namdi will be on him for most of the game.

Dont feel bad...i traded Brandon Marshall for ray rice last night...

Speedy88 · 11-04-12, 11:42 PM

Reports are that he has a high ankles sprain, and is considered week-to-week. My guess is he won't return til the fantasy playoffs. As an owner who may not make the playoffs, I may just try to trade him for dirt cheap to an owner who is guaranteed to make the playoffs. Maybe something like DMC for BJGE.

I'm 3-5 right now, if I lose tomorrow I'm pretty much going to give up any hope of making the playoffs. I'm not coming back from 3-6 without DMC and DeMarco, especially with Alfred on bye next week.

Really hoping I can get DeMarco back next week, would make the DMC injury a little bit better. It's a shame, because I think this was my most talented fantasy team.

High ankle sprains are usually bad and usually last a few weeks

Mikail · 11-05-12, 12:56 AM

that's one thing that can always screw you and can't be factored in because you don't know if/when it will happen.

Fantasy has a lot of luck involved. Luck of avoiding injury and player match-ups each week versus your opponents player match-ups. I had everything go my way the first 7 weeks, going 7-0. Last 2, not so much. 0-2. With injuries piling up.

7-2 and in 1st place by 1 game. Also highest scoring team. Need to keep that up, for tie breaker.

Grits n' Gravy · 11-05-12, 05:04 AM

The guy is cursed. Probably sprained his neck coming out of womb at birth.

Wrigley · 11-05-12, 07:35 AM

McFadden has been injury prone his whole career thats why I dont draft him

soccerzyko · 11-05-12, 09:33 AM

I hope he comes back soon. Next week vs Baltimore should be a good matchup, cuz as a Ravens fan, we can't stop anyone on the run!

Wulfman14 · 11-05-12, 10:57 AM

yea i had mcfadden also

k13 · 11-05-12, 11:10 AM

He was doing nothing anyway.

Hopefully he's out and give Goodson the ball.

Are you kidding me that is an excellent trade! Forget the 30 pts asap!

I'm surprised he even lasted this long, but it's pointless because he's doing nada this yr.

Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson have both been diagnosed with high-ankle sprains.

That will leave a hole in your backfield. Players usually miss a minimum of two weeks with high-ankle sprains, but they can often linger for more than a month. Considering both McFadden and Goodson's injury histories, we wouldn't count on a quick return for either player. The Raiders' running game is now in the hands of FB Marcel Reece and pint-sized burner Taiwan Jones. A major asset in the passing game, Reece should at minimum be a strong flex play for Week 10. Jones will be a high-risk, low-reward fantasy option.

Go pick up M.Reece

Jedi Mind Picks · 11-05-12, 04:57 PM

Coach Dennis Allen told reporters Monday that Darren McFadden (high ankle sprain) has not been ruled out for Week 10 at Baltimore.

Per Allen, DMC was begging Sunday to reenter the game against the Bucs, but the medical staff apparently wouldn't clear him to do so. The Raiders are desperate in the backfield, so we wouldn't rule out them pushing McFadden to play, even if he's not 100 percent. This could be another game-time-decision situation.

i agree with you, it is an excellent trade on paper...unfortunately, it was the difference between me winning with marshall but losing with rice...and now i am 3-6 with 4 games left to play...so ironically it may have been the dagger to my season even though it seems like such a great trade for me

Speedy88 · 11-05-12, 05:57 PM

How have the Raiders not ruled him out? Has a player ever come back within a week from a high ankle sprain?

Terrapin Station · 11-05-12, 08:02 PM

I've got Sprols and McFadden. Off to the waiver wire...

Try having DMC, DeMarco Murray, Cedric Benson and Fred Jackson.

I don't think the Steelers have ruled Antonio Brown out either. He apparently has a 'mild' high ankle sprain. Who knows?

onlooker · 11-06-12, 01:03 AM

These guys can't play a week after getting a high ankle sprain. It takes a couple weeks to get over.

P.Harvin sprained his ankle in 3 spots, but it isn't a high ankle sprain. He is on crutches, and could possibly be held out of the Week 10 game. So he has two weeks to recover, the Vikings are on BYE Week 11.

Have a back-up plan guys.

Speedy88 · 11-06-12, 01:42 AM

I wonder what Oakland will do, assuming neither DMC or Goodson play. Sounds like they don't trust Taiwan Jones, and I'm not sure if Reece can play HB.

jetsjets1028 · 11-06-12, 01:48 AM

what else is new.. hes the rick dipietro of the nfl what a bust mcfadden has been so far..

GamblerSpirit · 11-06-12, 01:52 AM

I hope harvin is out for the next 2 weeks at least, playing an owner that has him week 11.

Vikings BYE week is Week 11. So he will be out regardless.

Lol in that case let him be healthy

LT Profits · 11-06-12, 05:39 AM

Remember when Taiwan Jones was the next big thing coming out of preseason? I picked him up early in the year and dropped him soon after. Now I want no part of him and I have McFadden.
