Scouting report

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Washington

Not a great game on the ground for Darren McFadden's last week against Carolina. He carried the ball only 10 times for 11 yards but did have some receiving stats (four catches for 45 yards) which saved the day from being a fantasy disaster for his owners.

With Tony Romo out, you would expect McFadden to become the focal point of the Dallas offense, and he did have some success with Matt Cassel as the starting quarterback. He will face a Washington defense that is ranked 17th in aFPA to running backs.

Expect a solid day from McFadden and plenty of frequency with the ball. Start him in all leagues and formats as a solid RB1 for Week 13.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Carolina

There is no doubt the return of QB Tony Romo is going to help all the Cowboys skill players, including Darren McFadden. The running back ran for 129 yards on 29 carries which should make all his owners smile. The 32 touches is exactly what you want from McFadden. He is listed as probable on the injury report, but will play.

McFadden plays against a Carolina who is 12th in aFPA to running backs. The Panthers have given up some big games to backs this season, so McFadden is in line for a decent game if not one of the better performances in Week 12. Start McFadden in all leagues and formats as one of the top fantasy running backs this week.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Miami

Darren McFadden struggled on the road against Tampa with a total of 58 yards from scrimmage. It was the first time in three games that he didn't have at least 20-plus rushes, which is puzzling considering QB Matt Cassel struggled.

The good news for the Cowboys (and McFadden) is Tony Romo will probably be under center against Miami on Sunday. Also, the Dolphins have been horrible against the run this season ranked 31st in aFPA to running backs. McFadden is a solid RB1 who should play at least 80 percent of the snaps and get 25 touches. Expect a big day for him and start McFadden in all leagues and formats.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tampa Bay

With Joseph Randle officially suspended, there is no doubt Darren McFadden is the featured back now in Dallas. He carried the ball 27 times for 117 yards and that makes three straight games with 20+ carries. He also played 78 percent of the snaps.

McFadden has a neutral matchup this week as the 'Boys face Tampa, who is 13th in aFPA to running backs. Expect the carries and production like we have been seeing in recent games. Start McFadden as a solid RB1 for Week 10.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Philadelphia
Darren McFadden has 49 carries over the last two weeks, so there is no doubt he is getting frequency. He played 80 percent of the snaps which emphasizes his role. The Eagles are No. 1 in aFPA to running backs, but even with the bad matchup, McFadden should still put up numbers because the touches will be high. Start McFadden in all leagues as a low-end RB1 for Week 9.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Seattle

Darren McFadden was outstanding against New York last week, rushing for 152 yards and a touchdown. He played 81 percent of the snaps and is officially the starter now for the Cowboys. However, if he doesn't continue to perform, Christine Michael is waiting in the wings.

This is not a great matchup for McFadden as they face the Seahawks, who are 3rd in aFPA to running backs. With the struggles Dallas has had without QB Tony Romo, this limits most of the skill players from reaching their fantasy potential. McFadden's stock is high right now and he should be in your lineup as a RB2 for Week 8.

DAL RB Darren McFadden - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs New York Giants
Darren McFadden is now part of the three-headed monster for Dallas. Nobody is too sure what his role will be Sunday. There is a good chance he will not even see the 27 percent of the snaps he has been getting this season. If you have McFadden on your roster, keep him on the bench for Week 7 and see how the Cowboys play it on Sunday.
