Mid Season Studs
Darren McFadden A lot of analysts projected the Raiders run game might produce a solid runner this year, albeit most opted for Michael Bush. Those who drafted late in the preseason were likely helped out by Bush’s hand injury, realizing McFadden would get the early crack at the job. Despite missing two weeks due to injury, McFadden has shown no sign of relinquishing his strong hold on the starting RB job, involved heavily in both the run and pass game. It appears as if all the talent in the world is finally panning out with the inept JaMarcus Russell now out of the picture, with Run DMc looking like the can’t-miss prospect everyone was so high on coming out of Arkansas.Calvin Johnson Heading into the Week 7 Bye, Megatron racked up 437 yards and 5 TDs, including 4 in weeks 4 through 6. Not that impressed? Consider he spent 5 and a half of those 6 games catching passes from Shaun Hill, not to mention had a Week 1 TD called back on an openly questionable call. In Stafford’s first week back from injury sense he took the business end of a Julius Peppers belly-flop, Johnson added 101 yards and 3 TDs to his season totals. Impressive thus far, explosive going forward, get on the bandwagon now. One small setback, against Revis and the Jets no less, shouldn’t worry any owners out there.Arian Foster There’s really not much more you can say about Arian Foster. No, he hadn’t replicated his Week 1 231-yard 3 TD explosion onto the scene consistent running numbers, then week 9 happened. A week 5 no-show against the Giants remains the only black mark on his season record so far, already topping 100 yards in 4 of 7 contests, plus solid contribution on the receiving end thus far, an added bonus.
