2. player. 28. When Darren McFadden’s contract was up, the Raiders let him walk because he couldn’t stay healthy. And this year, Murray’s contract is up and he didn’t do as much as McFadden did. He finally started running with power but the injury bug came again. <p>So I don’t expect the Raiders to re-sign him and there’s no potential bell-cow on the roster. But there sure is a potential bell-cow that I expect to be available in the draft next spring. Nick Chubb is a first-round talent who had injuries get in the way.</p> <p>When Todd Gurley injured his knee in 2014, Chubb effectively replaced him with no drop-off. Then the next year, he got off to great start, only to sustain his own knee-injury. This year, he started the season with a 200-yard game but has since fought an ankle injury.</p> <p>So as of right now, he won’t have the production to get picked in the first round next spring. But the Raiders will jump at the chance to grab him when he falls to the second round. And he will give the Raiders the physical running game they need.</p>. RB. Georgia. Nick Chubb
