Start McFadden?
News: Raiders RB Darren McFadden (toe) is listed as probable for Week 3 at Buffalo. However, the Contra Costa Times reported Friday that head coach Lane Kiffin said McFadden did very little in practice and will need a pain-killing injection to face the Bills Sunday. Kiffin added McFadden will be watched closely in warmups and it is possible that Michael Bush will be the featured back since Justin Fargas is doubtful with a groin injury. McFadden might just be used as a change of pace back.
Should I start him or bench him in favor of Kevin Smith?

I would take Kevin Smith for this week. McFadden is too risky right now and it's a tough matchup for him anyway.

I have to agree there. The Bills D is tough, and I don't see McFadden running all over them like he did to the Chiefs. I would go with Smith, even though the Lions arent great, at least Smith is 100 percent, McFadden will see limited action

Yeah I go w/Smith this week for what the other posters have said and also add to the injury the fact that Michael Bush did really well last week when he filled in.

I agree. Bills D is tough and Dmac will be limited. Going with Kevin Smith. Thanks for the responses.

Okay...well it looks like Kevin Smith got hurt. He's been stuck at 1.4 points since the first quarter. Rudi Johnson is running.
Dmac got 7.8 points for me on the bench.
