LeSean McCoy - Week 17 (1 Viewer)

[Topes]

Has anybody heard anything concrete on McCoy's status for Week 17? I know there's been some pretty string indications Michael Vick will not play,l and that DeSean Jackson might even be a scratch.

But haven't heard much about McCoy, outside of a lot of speculation the team may 'rest starters'.

So, has anybody heard anything more definitive from the team coaching staff about their intentions for playing time this week?

I realize nothing may be known until after kickoff, but am hoping for some word ahead of time.

i'm also interested. I think he probably only plays 1 half tops. I picked up harrison but i dont know if he is a good play with ony a half of work

McCoy is not mentioned specifically,

but everything points to Vick and many others sitting out and trying to get healthy for the Eagles’ playoff opener the weekend of Jan. 8-9.

I would not trust any Eagle in fantasy this week. Those that play are likely to do so only for a half at most.

3-and-out with Andy Reid

Q: Are you going to play your starters against the Cowboys?

A: I haven't finalized things yet as far how I'm going to play the guys and who we play.

If you own Harrison as a handcuff, would you start him over McCoy? It sounds crazy, and I don't plan on doing it unless I hear Reid say McCoy is sitting, but Harrison could get 20 touches against the terrible Cowboys....

The bolded part is key. (I would start Harrison over McCoy, as well, were McCoy sitting.)If it's going to be a split, where nobody knows when the hook comes in, I'd really be eying up other players on my bench.

If Harrison gets the start, he'd definitely be worth a shot. Not sure if I'd count on the "terrible Cowboys" laying down for him, but he sure did ball during the fantasy playoffs last season.

I'm rolling with Harrison right now but I'm nervous about it should McCoy play a half. Although it makes NO sense for Reid to play McCoy.

I also have Joe McNight who I could plug in over Harrison, but Harrison can explode and I just think Reid will rest his stars.

Would you guys roll with McKnight, Harrison or Garcon as a non-PPR flex over McCoy today?
