Trading Darren Mcfadden?

Question

Is he a definite hold or would you shop him hoping to get a good return for his hype?

Answer 1

I'll be checking in on this question......i have him also

Answer 2

It all starts with the Raiders O-Line, it sucks, Then you look at the FB, he's ok but not great. Then you make the decision. I would trade him, he is not going to have a year like Adrian Peterson. ADP had a monster offensive line and Mcfadden has nobody to block for him and there passing game isn't going to fool anybody so you know that teams will be focused on stopping their run attack instead of their pass. Trade him for somebody you can use.  

Answer 3

Answer 5

Rookies are always risky in fantasy sports.  Personally, I would trade him.  I don't think he will be as good as Peterson was last year.

Answer 6

I wouldn't say he is a definite hold, reason why is look at the big picture. The raiders currently have Justin Fargas who did really well last year and they paid him some good money in the off season. That said it lookslike it will be a platoon role between the two and it could cut into fantasy production for Mcfadden. You have to look at current stock compared to future stock, in my opinion his stock will not rise more that it currently is based on the hype he brings with him out of college. If you can trade him and improve your team at other positions I would do it as long as you are getting a compareable player. As of now it appears to be a role reversal of the Saints situation. What I mean by that is the saints use Mcallister and Bush just like I feel the r aiders will do with Mcfadden and Fargas. Fargas will be bush and mcfadden will be Mcalister. Maybe I'm getting to into depth on the matter but I to had mcfadden and just traded him for Chad Johnson of the Bengals. It will definitely help out at receiver. Good luck
