Yahoo! Sports fantasy expert Brad Evans pointed out that McFadden averaged only 3.4 yards per carry against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 of the preseason. He finished with five carries for 17 yards, and Evans does not believe McFadden will be a top 25 running back this season.
King was harsher when it was time for his assessment.
“Darren McFadden, if you put him on your team, you will lose your league,” King said. “You will regret the fact that you drafted him, and you will emotionally be unstable because of the fact he does not care.”
King, tell us how you really feel. Please do not hold back.
“I looked at Darren McFadden against the New Orleans Saints, and what I wanted to see is this a running back who wants to prove his detractors wrong, wants to go out and have a big year in a contract year, or is this a guy that’s just trying to collect a check,” King said. “All I saw was a guy who wanted to collect a check.”
Part of me here wants to agree with absolutely EVERYTHING Shaun King has to say here. If I made it to the NFL and got stuck on the Raiders, I would be on cruise control waiting to sip mai tai's in cabo in the offseason too. Place is horrendous. Not only is the team total trash but the city is shit too. Players like run dmc have to HATE players like Jason Taylor who spent roughly 35 years playing in Miami. However on a professional fantasy league player/champion/legend, I'm telling you to snag run dmc. Does he get hurt? Sure. You know when a 26 year old NFL starting running back doesn't get hurt? His contract year. Those lambos and gold bottles of champagne pouring on the floor don't pay for themselves. DMC will end up rushing for 1,500+ with 9 td's. This is the time when these cats steal money from owners. These guys are basically Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner in The Town. Don't believe me? Two words. Chris Johnson.
