ESPN’s Chris Mortenson reported during halftime of the Bengals/Packers game that the Oakland Raiders believe they’ve drafted the reincarnation of Bo Jackson in Darren McFadden, the top draft pick they plan to feed in the running game and out of the backfield.
Actually this is turning into the season of the rookie running back, at least so far. McFadden reportedly was impressive in his first game. Mortenson also cited Dallas’ Felix jones and Tennessee’s Chris Johnson, who busted off a 66-yard touchdown, as rookie runners with a chance to make an impact this season.
“Those three guys are just among the young running backs to keep an eye on,” he said.
It’s been said here at Zoneblitz that Carolina’s Jonathan Stewart will be the top running back of the 08 draft class. I stand by that despite my brother’s uncovering of a toe injury that has had him slowed so far. But I would take Johnson or McFadden on any fantasy team I am operating this year, if for no other reason than a relative dearth of other options on those teams’ rosters.
