Does risk/reward factor make Darren McFadden draft-worthy?
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Every year we find reasons to like Darren McFadden and every year he finds a way to disappoint us. In 2011 he totaled five touchdowns and over 750 yards in seven games before messing up his foot. In 2012 he managed to stay healthy for 12 games (tied for the second-most in his career) but sported the worst rushing average of his career and scored a total of three times. This year McFadden enters training camp for the Raiders healthy and with dollar signs in his eyes. If he has a sensational year he will land a nice chunk of change from a team probably not called the Raiders because of their sa...

Jacoby Ford returns with All Pro company
Silver And Black Pride — It has been a long time since Jacoby Ford practiced with his teammates for the first time since last year's training camp. He missed all of last season with a Lisfranc foot injury. Much like when Darren McFadden went out with the same injury, it was initially thought to be a simply foot sprain that just wouldn't heal. Also like McFadden, it was a long road back. "I just been... a lot of rehab," said Ford. "I definitely do a lot of rehab every day and I just kinda make sure I stay on top of it. Really just take care of my body and work on little things after practice and just more flexi...

Taiwan Jones flips over to cornerback exclusively
Silver And Black Pride — Last season Taiwan Jones was a forgotten man at running back. Even with the injuries to both Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson, Taiwan Jones was left out in the depth chart in favor of UDFA rookie Jeremy Stewart. The coaching staff had no faith in Jones' ball security or his ability to play in the team's zone blocking scheme. So, he was relegated to special teams duties exclusively. Although, not as a return man because of that whole ball security concern. With his standout play as a gunner on special teams and his absence from the running game, something had to give. I remembered Jones...

May 12, 2013Davis to back up Charles
CBSSports.com Fantasy — The Chiefs drafted Arkansas running back Knile Davis with a compensatory pick in the third round Friday night, grabbing a bulldozer to take some of the load off Jamaal Charles. Davis has a nice blend of size and speed, resulting in comparisons to former Razorbacks star Darren McFadden. But the knock on Davis - and one of the big reasons he fell late into the third round - is that he's dealt with a number of injuries throughout his career. He's struggled with ankle trouble going back to high school.
April 27, 2013Darren McFadden - Raiders, McFadden not talking extension
The Huddle — Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden said he has not talked with the team about a contract extension and is not sure when the two sides will talk. McFadden is entering the final year of his current contract. Huddle Up: Run-DMC has been more about potential than production in his 5 NFL seasons, missing at least 3 games each year and only recording a single 1,000-yard rushing season (1,157 in 2010). Like fantasy owners, the Silver & Black is going to need to see some more production in a contract year before making a long-term commitment.

Raiders Draft Radar 2013: Running Back
Silver And Black Pride — We move on to the running backs as I work through the positions and players on the Raiders draft radar. Along with the player, I include the round in which the Raiders would be likely to take the player should he be available with their pick in that round. Running back is a real need for the Raiders. They currently have Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings as their top two backs. Jennings has never proven he can step up and be a starting caliber back and with McFadden's injury history, it is likely Jennings will be asked to step up at some point this season. The team needs a third young...

Health of Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford key for Raiders
Silver And Black Pride — Most people would point to the things they actually saw ON the field as why the Raiders couldn't get out of their own way offensively. Things like the failed zone blocking scheme experiment and poor play calling. The Raiders are hoping the Greg swap (Knapp for Olson) will remedy that issue. Darren McFadden won't make excuses for his poor season last year. As he told media today "It's the execution." However, he remembers he had his best season in the NFL in 2011 working in the Power Blocking Scheme and he's looking forward to working in it again. "It's confidence," said McFadden. "You ...
Oakland Raiders April 19, 2013Oakland run scheme is DMC-approved
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Raiders running back Darren McFadden told the Contra Costa Times that he loves the power-run scheme that new offensive coordinator Greg Olson has committed to. "That's one of the things I like about it. I'm the type of guy I like to get going downhill, so I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be a great fit for our team," McFadden said. "It's a great feeling that they have that confidence in me, so I just want to go out there and prove to them on the field that I can do it, and show them I'm the type of player they think I'm capable of being."
April 19, 2013Rashad Jennings - Rashad Jennings agrees to terms with Raiders
The Huddle — Oakland Raiders RB Rashad Jennings received a one-year, $630,000 deal with a split salary. Huddle Up: Jennings moves from backing up Maurice Jones-Drew to backing up Darren McFadden. Both situations provide opportunity; Jennings' recent performance suggest he's not especially capable of capitalizing.

Rashad Jennings: "I like to describe myself as a complete back"
Silver And Black Pride — The Raiders officially announced they had signed free agent running back Rashad Jennings Thursday morning. The signing was a necessary one as the Raiders were in much need of depth at running back behind starter Darren McFadden. Being a reserve running back is nothing new to Jennings. He played behind All Pro Maurice Jones-Drew in Jacksonville the past few years. In his first two season, Jennings was considered one of the top reserve backs in the league. He was averaging over five yards a carry in relief of MJD in 2009-10. When asked how he would describe himself as a running back, he ...
