Raiders featured back Darren McFadden hasn't exactly been a Fantasy stud the last two weeks. He rushed for just 9 yards in 12 carries against Denver before leaving early in the loss to Washington on Sunday with a hamstring injury.
But keep an eye on his availability against San Diego because he could have a big game if healthy. The Chargers rank 30th in the NFL by yielding an average of 5.2 yards per carry. They have surrendered at least 92 yards on the ground in evey game, including 170 in Week 3 against Tennessee. They have at least been stingy to opposing backs near the goal line, having given up just two rushing touchdowns.
Think twice about playing McFadden if he is limited because the recurrence of the injury would then be a distinct possibility. The CBSSports.com senior Fantasy writers are certainly showing caution - none of them have McFadden listed as a top 48 play in Week 5. But if he gets the green light and is fully recovered, stick him in your Fantasy lineup.
