Darren McFadden Fantasy Stats

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden was waived by the team on Sunday, reportedly as part of a mutual decision. McFadden had been inactive almost every game this season, even when Ezekiel Elliott wasn't playing due to his suspension. McFadden shouldn't take long to latch on with another team, even if he clears waivers, although there's no guarantee he'll return to fantasy relevance. Stay tuned for where he lands. Alfred Morris and Rod Smith should continue to split the workload with Elliott suspended.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden is likely to be a healthy inactive again on Thanksgiving Day against the Los Angeles Chargers. McFadden hasn't played a significant role at all this season, and has been inactive almost every game. He can be dropped in most formats and absolutely should not be started in any format at all.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFaddenhas been ruled a healthy scratch and will not play against the Eagles on Sunday night. McFadden was unproductive during the team's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, rushing the ball only one time for a total of negative two yards. With his absence, the Cowboys will have only two backs active with veteran running back Alfred Morris, who had 11 carries for 53 yards last Sunday, being the featured runner with running back Rod Smith serving as the backup. However, they will have a tough matchup against a Philadelphia team that has only allowed 383 rushing yards and three touchdowns to opposing backs all season.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden is nowhere near the fantasy landscape for Week 11. In Week 10, the first week without Ezekiel Elliott (suspension) in the backfield, McFadden played just one snap. He'd been a weekly inactive before that. With Alfred Morris and Rod Smith running ahead of him, McFadden has simply been phased out of the Cowboys offense. He's unlikely to make much noise this season unless one of the two backs ahead of him miss time as well. Fantasy owners holding onto McFadden can keep their fingers crossed and hang on, but he's fine to drop if there's anyone worth grabbing on the waiver wire.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden had one carry in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was active, which is better than the weekly inactive he'd been with Ezekiel Elliott around, but McFadden is a far distant third on the depth chart and has no fantasy relevance at this point.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden will have a role this Sunday, but how big that role is remains to be seen. McFadden has been a weekly inactive while Ezekiel Elliott has been starting, but now that Elliott will (allegedly) begin serving his suspension, McFadden is sure to be active. Alfred Morris is expected to start, with Rod Smith running as the second string back. McFadden may mix in for passing downs, or he may work completely behind the other two runners. He seems to have fallen somewhat out of favor with the Cowboys coaches, but he still has likely the best skill set to fill the role Elliott is vacating. McFadden could have a huge week, or he could only get a carry or two. He's worth owning and keeping an eye on, but he's a risky Week 10 play.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden is looking like he'll spend another week on the inactive list. With starter Ezekiel Elliott likely to play in Week 10, McFadden will be inactive like he has been all season. Now seemingly well behind Alfred Morris and even Rod Smith, it is hard to tell what McFadden's role will be even when Elliott is out. McFadden is still worth hanging onto as an end-of-bench stash, but his fantasy relevance is fading fast.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden and place kicker Dan Bailey (groin) are inactive in Week 9 against the Chiefs. With Ezekiel Elliott playing in Week 9, both Alfred Morris and McFadden lost all of their fantasy appeal, and McFadden is now apparently fourth on the running back depth chart. Even if Zeke is eventually suspended this year, it looks like McFadden still won't have a role. Bailey was expected to miss a few weeks with a groin injury, so his absence is no surprise. Mike Nugent will continue to fill in while Bailey is injured.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden is expected to be inactive this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gathering some buzz as a sneaky sleeper play in Week 9 before Ezekiel Elliott was allowed to play, McFadden instead won't even be on the field at all. While he may have some kind of a role if Elliott ever does indeed serve his suspension, McFadden currently sits behind Alfred Morris and Rod Smith on the depth chart.

Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden was a popular sleeper pick this week even though the Cowboys stated Alfred Morris would be their starter. There was some debate regarding which of Morris or McFadden would be the better bet, with a sprinkle of Rod Smith entering discussions as well. It was all a futile exercise though, as starter Ezekiel Elliott was granted another temporary stay on his suspension, meaning he will be able to play in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With Elliott starting, Morris will resume his role as the backup, and McFadden will likely rejoin the inactive list. All three of Morris, McFadden, and Smith may ultimately develop some nice value this season, but at this point it's anyone's guess as to when Elliott will actually be forced to stay off the field.
