Darren McFadden is regarded as one of the NFL's top running backs when healthy.
After the 2012 season's opening week, the Oakland Raiders running back is the NFL's leader in ... receptions?
McFadden caught an NFL high 13 passes for 86 yards in Oakland's 22-14 loss to San Diego last night. He was targeted by quarterback Carson Palmer again and again, although it wasn't enough to help the Raiders earn an opening night win. McFadden didn't have as much success rushing, finishing with 32 yards on 15 carries.
McFadden is one of 17 former Razorbacks on NFL 53-man rosters.
