If so, I've got a name for you: Marcel Reece. But don't tell anyone I mentioned this, or neither one of us will be able to pick him up.

Raiders running back Darren McFadden was moving well and walking without a limp Wednesday as he left the team facility and headed to his car in the parking lot, with a couple fans outside the security gate calling his name.
McFadden still was wearing a walking boot on his right foot, however, and coach Dennis Allen didn't sound overly optimistic, saying McFadden was "questionable" to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Allen said in the absence of McFadden, Goodson and Seymour, the rotations would be similar to what they were in Sunday's 55-20 loss to Baltimore. Marcel Reece would be the lead back, with Jeremy Stewart getting work and Taiwan Jones getting a shot if he continues to show progress in the areas of ball security, general health and ability to execute the playbook.
