Darren McFadden-Dallas Cowboys (48.6%)

McFadden hasn’t done a ton yet with his new team, but Dallas continues to look fro a spark in their offense with Tony Romo and Dez Bryant out. He rushed for 31 yards on Sunday Night Football on his ten carries and now has a total of 32 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown.

McFadden has been a change-of-pace back at this point behind Joseph Randle and third-down specialist Lance Dunbar. With Dunbar out for a while after Sunday’s injury, McFadden should get some increased playing time which moved him not the fringes of low-ceiling options at flex this week.

McFadden played more in the second half after Randle almost lost a fumble at the goal line and angered his coaching staff. As Dallas tries to get some momentum, they may give the veteran more work, so get McFadden if you think he still has some left in the tank.
