The Facts:
McFadden suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 7 and never returned, but he's already back to full speed in workouts. "The thing about Darren is he didn't have any major surgeries, so he's able to come back here healthy and he's playing at a high level right now and it's offseason," RBs coach Jim Skipper told the San Francisco Chronicle. "He's making cuts at full speed, everything. There's no problem with that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Dennis Allen said McFadden was able to go through all of the Raiders' drills during their first day of workouts. Last season McFadden had 113 touches for four touchdowns and 614 yards. He also caught 19 passes for one touchdown and 154 yards before getting injured. McFadden had his best year in 2010 -- in which he played 13 games -- when he rushed the ball 223 times for seven touchdowns and 1,157 yards, adding 47 catches for 507 yards with three touchdowns. The problem is, McFadden has yet to play a full 16-game season. And that's going to continue being an issue for Fantasy owners until he proves otherwise. That being the case, his value this fall will likely be determined by the least risk-averse owner in your league.
