Addendum: McFadden Clearly a Badass


To add a little umph to this week's column, in which I purposefully tried to give as much space to the other draftees, here's a short report by two fantasy analysts about D-Mac's prospects. Someone once said that if you want to get the real news that you should read the business papers, because those guys have cash money riding on events. Well, if you want straight talk about rookie prospects, check into fantasy predictions. They may not have (much) money riding on their analysis, but I can guarantee there's an awful lot of stat-monkey ego involved.

The first guy is just nuts, but the usually trustworthy Andy Behrens is hot for D-Mac, quoting Raiders blogger Jerry McDonald to poo-poo the folks who think McFadden will be overtaken by his fellow backs:

[McFadden] has lined up as an I-formation tailback, lined up as a single back, been split out as a wide receiver, lined up in the slot, and gone in motion. He's also taken shotgun snaps... It will be Fargas and Bush that fit in around McFadden.


Sounds about right.
