Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden was brilliant for parts of last year. But, like always, he got hurt. And he screwed a lot of fantasy owners in the process, because the team kept saying he was doing better and would be back shortly.
Yeah, that didn’t happen. So you didn’t make alternate plans to fill his void and stuck with him, only to watch your fantasy season slip away.
Well, now we know why. While the Raiders never said, McFadden went on Sirius Radio and said he actually had a Lisfranc injury.
“It’s a long recovery from a Lisfranc injury,” he said. “… But I’m feeling pretty good now.”
Well that explains that! Lisfranc injuries are nasty and I really wish I had this information a long time ago. Despite the injuries though, McFadden says he won’t change his playing style.
“If you get hurt,” he said, “you just get hurt.”
Yep, and he usually does.
