From rotoworld,

Beat writer Jerry McDonald thinks that the Raiders could eventually change Darren McFadden's role if he "can't cut it with being a conventional 15- to 20-carry per game running back."

McDonald is down on McFadden, saying the former No. 4 overall pick gets tackled too easily and is injured too often. He thinks that the Raiders could eventually making him a "Ronnie Harmon-style receiver out of the backfield." Although McFadden is an excellent receiver, we don't think the Raiders are ready to give up on him as a feature back just yet. He'll be the starter and Michael Bush will be mixed in as a power back.

Let's face it, McFadden has been a huge let down for fantasy owners everywhere. This just might be a way for him to be productive in PPR formats.
 
And this gets back to the fat carcass factor working against DMac.... Of course he was tackled too easily and injured too often.

When 9 out of 11 guys on defense can tee off on you every down because your QB couldnt hit the broadside of a buffet, that will happen.
