Cowboys News: Darren McFadden To Be Lead Running Back In 2015?

The Dallas Cowboys picked up a low-risk, high-reward proposition this offseason in former Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden, and it appears they may try to maximize their return right away.

Via Rob Phillips:

"...the front office believed they covered themselves to some degree by signing Darren McFadden in free agency."

Respected scout Gil Brandt seems to agree with Dallas' line of thinking: \

"....But the ceiling is simply higher for Darren McFadden in Dallas. He's a very talented player, both as a runner and a receiver. Behind that Cowboys offensive line, he has a chance to break the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2010, even if he ends up splitting carries with Joseph Randle."

McFadden has been besieged by injuries during his entire professional career, but so was DeMarco Murray before winning the league rushing title last season.
