Raiders RB Darren McFadden (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Taiwan Jones is a smaller speed back who has never carried the ball more than seven times in a regular-season NFL game. Last year, he carried the ball 16 times for 73 yards (4.7 YPC). He's likely to be the main ballcarrier with both McFadden and Mike Goodson (ankle) out, but Marcel Reece will be heavily involved, even if it's just in the passing game. Reece (hamstring) took full practice reps again Thursday.

With neither Raiders RB Darren McFadden nor Mike Goodson able to practice Wednesday, Taiwan Jones picked up the first-team reps at running back Wednesday.

"He’s been a little up and down," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said of Jones. "A little injury-prone, or injury-plagued, and so it’s been kind of tough to evaluate because he’s missed some time. But we've got confidence in Taiwan and if he’s called on to step in and play, then we fully anticipate him stepping in and perform and do his job."

Raiders RB Darren McFadden (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. McFadden has a high-ankle sprain according to Adam Schefter, but the Raiders have yet to rule him out for Week 10, which is odd since high-ankle sprains are typically multi-week injuries. Owners need to plan for DMC's absence. Marcel Reece and Taiwan Jones are likely to form a RBBC with Mike Goodson also out with a high ankle sprain. Reece doesn't carry the ball much, but he's active in the passing game. Jones is largely untested but may get significant touches given the state of the Raider RB corps. Reece (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.

Darren McFadden, Mike Goodson both have high ankle sprains

Raiders RBs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson BOTH have high ankle sprains.

Fantasy Impact: 

Oakland will turn to some combination of Marcel Reece and Taiwan Jones as the dreaded high ankle sprain means McFadden and Goodson could miss significant time. However, McFadden hasn't officially been ruled out, according to the team.

Reece is a fullback and Jones a speed guy, so the two are likely to both see carries - depending on situation - if McFadden is out. Reese seems like the more usable pickup and was the Raiders leading receiver with 8 catches this week. The team has also said they don't trust Jones because of ball security issues. The Raiders will likely move to a more pass-heavy attack and split RB touches.
