Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There’s nothing more specific than that regarding his condition, although Rapoport add’s that “we’ll see” about his status for the Week 5 game against the Chargers. Indeed, as PFT's Josh Alper notes, with the bye coming in Week 7 and that history of prolonged absences, McFadden and the Raiders could opt to play things cautiously. If McFadden is out, there’s a good chance that the Raiders will be down two backs since Marcel Reece’s knee injury was believed to be more serious than McFadden’s hamstring on Sunday. Rashad Jennings, who ran for 45 yards on 15 carries with McFadden out on Sunday, will be the first man up in the backfield should McFadden be sidelined.
