2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Aug-10-2012 by Shawn Larabee

Run DMC averaged more than 100 rushing yards per game and was having a career year before a Lisfranc sprain cut his 2011 short. Injuries have plagued him throughout his brief NFL career, but he's had plenty of time to recover from this one and should be back to full speed in time for training camp. He'll be the focus of Oakland's offense and will have the chance to pick up where he left off last October.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	1.12	MyFantasyLeague
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	1.09	KFFL.com - I expect DMC to be a top-five fantasy back if he can remain healthy ... he has to do it at least once in his career, right? I'm pleased to get him here and considered no one else with this pick.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	1.11	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - As I stare at this board I really struggle to understand why I hear/read folks insisting on going RB/RB early in this draft position. Nothing safe on the board, IMO and that includes the injury-prone DMac. I'm tempted to go QB/TE, but since I didn't go RB early last draft, I will this time to offer a different perspective. Still concerned the Raiders rebuild could limit the offense's upside, but I love McFadden in general, it sounds like he's healthy (for now) and at least the vulturing Michael Bush is adios.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	1.06	DraftSharks.com - I'd take Chris Johnson in a regular management league. Draftmasters mitigates the injury risk, though. McFadden's ceiling is No. 1 at the position.
