Maurice Jones-Drew offers nothing for fantasy owners, Darren McFadden carries the load

Neither Raiders back had much to offer fantasy owners Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Oakland Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew was ostensibly healthy Sunday, but he might as well not have been for his fantasy owners. The veteran running back was barely involved in the team's 38-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Jones-Drew carried the ball only two times in the game, for 1 yard. He added two catches for 2 more yards. His fellow running back, Darren McFadden, had 11 rushes for 40 yards and four catches for 32 yards.

Fantasy impact: There was no reason to expect Jones-Drew to be eased back into the action -- the injury that had kept him out was to his hand. It looks like Jones-Drew simply didn't get as much work as McFadden in the game.

Going forward, Jones-Drew is not even worth owning in fantasy, unless he starts showing much more than he has so far. McFadden, meanwhile, is at least relevant as a bye-week fill-in running back, though not much more than that.
