LeSean McCoy (1 Viewer)

[Eminence]

LeSean McCoy impressed the hell out of me last night; well that is compared to his Rookie season.

7 Attempts / 35 Yards / 1TD

5 Receptions / 47 Yards

Call me crazy but I can see a Top-10 Finish for McCoy this year (especially PPR).

Regardless of who is starting at Quarterback; you don't want Vick slinging the ball around 30 times a game. (...and from what I've seen from Kolb I don't want to see that either.) Kolb needs work and the pass-catching McCoy is a GREAT safety blanket. If Vick starts they will undoubtedly game plan for him as starter; options and dump offs galore.

It's also important to note that McCoy saw Red Zone carries last night. He actually punched it in TWICE. One was nullified by penalty.

Reminds me of Ray Rice last year. Player with IMMENSE upside who can still be bought somewhat cheap. Brian Westbrook-lite.

In redraft if I owned a player of the calibar of Cedric Benson or Beanie Wells; I would hesitate to flip one of them for McCoy.

EDIT: He gets Detroit next week. Philly should pull ahead early and run, run, run. Either way he should tear up Detroit. Buy now.

Not a whole lot of touches for a guy with absolutely no competition...

 

[Gopher State]

Vick is the one you want. He will out rush McCoy every week. I see McCoy as a sell right now.

Look at the Box Score.Eagles Trailed:

13-3 at the end of the Second.

27-10 at the end of the Third.

Philly didn't have much of an option other than pass the ball or... have Vick put on a show. In the Red-Zone when this team needed to score they had faith to run McCoy up the gut. He succeeded. There was a holding call. They gave him the rock again; 12-Yards later he was in again.

 

[JetMaxx]

I agree with the OP. McCoy showed me a lot yesterday, surprised me actually because I was not big on him. He was decisive, had a real nice burst, and finished his runs.

I love all the "sells" in here today. I think we are pretty much down to CJ and Foster as the only ownable FF RBs.I dont think McCoy will be the next Ray Rice or anything, but i do think yesterdays stat line is a reasonable expectation for weekly production. 4-5 catches, 80-100 total yards and a TD every other week.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

LeSean McCoy – Owners have to be happy with what they saw. McCoy had some runs when they were well behind but he also was able to become a factor in the passing game where he hauled in 5/47 to add to 7/35/TD on the ground. He was close to 20 points last week and those are top10 numbers almost any given week. One thing I have to say is that he was not dancing around. He caught the ball and took it upfield, he took the handoff and hit the hole whatever was open, he wasn’t waiting for things to constantly develop he simply tried to gain as many yards as he could. Forte laid a 37 point performance on these Lions and no matter who is throwing the ball for the Eagles, McCoy is going to look good as a check down option throughout the game. Forte was 7/150 and 2 TDs receiving, a guy with McCoy’s skills to catch the ball should be able to exploit that during the game. McCoy should be in your starting rotation this week.

 

[Snotbubbles]

The Eagles just don't run the GD football. Frustrating.

 

[CaptainHook]

well if hes only going to get 7 carries a game whenever the team is losing, which i see happening a lot this year, i just dont see how he can get enough touches to be valuable.

Since when is being down 10 at the half a must pass situation? Passing is why they went down 27-10. I was not impressed with McCoy and didn't they lose their FB.

 

[Breesisdaman]

He was on my bench behind Foster and Steven Jackson. Hard to bench either of those guys right now but I am watching this QB situation carefully in Philly because I do think in impacts McCoy.

Andy Reid is their coach. That's why.

This sell low is an interesting new concept. I'm going to have to look into it.

yeah, who wants a yound RB with speed, pass catching ability and the above right??

It's full out sell mode as soon as Sunday's game is over.

This worries me more than Vick. In Atlanta the Falcons ran the hell out of the ball every year. But they split it between a couple guys. There aren't two guys to split it between in Philly. That being said, if you limit the guy from running between the A and B gaps because of a 2nd string center, then Defense can key on the outside and they guy will put up a lot of 50 yard rushing games. In PPR's he'll be fine as he will catch a handful of balls every game, but without that center the guy could be in trouble...

I admit I LOLed at the OP when he talked about the Eagles run, run, running. I'll take the under on that one.

Count me among the surprised at McCoy on the weekend. I would buy low but the above is what concerns me.

 

[GroveDiesel]

The Eagles lost their FB and their starting Center for the yearIt's full out sell mode as soon as Sunday's game is over.

And the O-line wasn't all that great to begin with. As good of a pass blocking OT as Peters has always been, he's mediocre at best in the running game. The Eagles have MAJOR problems on the O-line and that is a huge concern to me for McCoy.

Those that are selling McCoy who are you targeting? Maybe a Michael Bush or LT, Beanie?

In a standard or TD only league, yes. In a PPR league I think it may be good for McCoy owners. Reid still likes to throw whether it is Kolb or Vick. I can see McCoy getting lots of dump offs and screens. And now he isn't losing any carries to Weaver.

As of now, I will be looking at the rosters of Ryan Grant and Shonn Greene owners to see what they have to make my team better

 

[r3t2]

i have been supporting mccoy all preseason and i just am not seeing what everyone who is down on him is seeing (as a player. i'll give you their situation got a lot worse on sunday). he's GOOD at the goalline, he runs hard inside, has great hands and sick agility, and if philly is smart he should catch 80-90 balls this year. i watched the game and vick left some big plays out on the field by not getting the ball to shady.

 

[glong989]

I have him in one of my leagues and think he will be fine. Your league absolutely has to be PPR for you to feel comfortable with him every week, but he will get plenty of screens and catch his share of balls every game. Not to mention he has no competition and can do fine against lesser DL's in the running game.

I agree completely i wish some of the fools that play in the free league and dont even know who mccoy is. In ppr Mccoy is money and is a low end rb1 imo

 

[T with T]

mccoy can rack up 1500 yards from scrimmage 8-10 tds and 40 to 50 receptions..... I dont see why people are ranking Benson ahead of this guy get real.

GB did not even take the lead until 1:48 left in the first half. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Liars figure and figures lie.

This is right, but you also said:

does not compute. I have to believe that Andy will still try to throw a lot. I agree with the earlier poster that Vick will get increased rushes whether by design or scrambling, though.

 

[delusional]

The eagles had 4 games last season where 1 RB had 15 carries or more. 3 of those games were by McCoy, 1 by Weaver

 

[T with T]

weaver is gone bye bye so all them peeps can shut up about him... Mccoy will get 15-20 touches a game and in ppr he is money gs

My rationale here is that the original game plan was to pass the ball. With Kolb out and Vick at QB I expect them to game plan to run. Either way I think McCoy is a tremendous talent and Andy Reid has shown he will get the ball into the hands of his RB.Let me just restate my claim real quick:

-Regardless who is QBing Vick or Kolb; neither is suited to run a high flying passing attack. Both will utilize their dump-off option in McCoy. With that said Philly has a history of throwing to their HBs already.

...and at that I'm not claiming that Philly is going to magically become a running football team. But I believe there will be an uptick in carries in the running game. I also believe that they will run the ball in the end zone providing more TD opportunities for McCoy.

This year will be less about flashy passing game and more about getting Kolb comfortable as a starter... they will have him lean on McCoy until he proves he can effectively run that offense. Does that mean handoff after handoff? No, that's not what Philly's offense does. What they do is supplant a lack of a run game by short screens, dump offs, etc. What do you care whether he gets 15 carries or 5 carries and 10 catches? With the way Philly's offense is designed he has just as much potential on those catches as the carries.

His center and fullback are hurt?

1.) That didn't really seemed to hurt him in his RZ running. (He punched it in for a TD, btw.)

2.) By your claims if there is going to be less blocking for McCoy to run with; tt also means less for whoever is undercenter. They will have less time to pass; going to McCoy on an outlet. (Assuming McCoy isn't blocking on that play.)

McCoy is going to be the beneficiary of all these things.

That's all I'm trying to say.

I just offered McFadden for this kid. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice man. I waited till the 6th in one league and the 8th in the other, laughing all the way to the bank...

Now how many of you fellas took my advice? ...if so you gained an extremely valuable bargaining chip.

 

[Breesisdaman]

McCoy is now in the loop with Foster and SJax although I am thinking maybe Sjax is my backup at this point.

Yep. He ain't cheap anymore.

LeSean McCoy – Owners have to be happy with what they saw. McCoy had some runs when they were well behind but he also was able to become a factor in the passing game where he hauled in 5/47 to add to 7/35/TD on the ground. He was close to 20 points last week and those are top10 numbers almost any given week. One thing I have to say is that he was not dancing around. He caught the ball and took it upfield, he took the handoff and hit the hole whatever was open, he wasn't waiting for things to constantly develop he simply tried to gain as many yards as he could. Forte laid a 37 point performance on these Lions and no matter who is throwing the ball for the Eagles, McCoy is going to look good as a check down option throughout the game. Forte was 7/150 and 2 TDs receiving, a guy with McCoy's skills to catch the ball should be able to exploit that during the game. McCoy should be in your starting rotation this week.

I think FBG was pretty high on him too this week. #7 in PPR I believe. Were there sites that had him outside the top12 this week? Not many free sites anymore but just curious.

Bloom nailed it actually

Seems like a legit top10 candidate in PPR leagues. There will be some down weeks and some tough parts of the schedule, but I don’t think you bench him in Jax this weekend by any stretch.

The stats were great yesterday. Did he look as good as the stats suggest?
