Bills indicate LeSean McCoy will see a huge workload

Sep 06, 2017

The Bills have plenty of issues on offense, but the feeling in Buffalo is that LeSean McCoy looms as a potential solution.

Asked about the star running back's planned workload against the Jets on Sunday, first-year coach Sean McDermott simply said, per Joe Buscaglia of WKBW-TV: "Whatever it takes to win the game."

Added McDermott: "If he has to play every snap, and he feels good, that's what we'll do."

Buscaglia came away from the media session expecting McCoy to earn a "big workload" against New York, an assessment that makes plenty of sense.

Fantasy Impact:

McCoy should see plenty of work. We're a bit concerned about the team running their star running back into the ground in a season where it appears that the team is not terribly interested in winning games (after trading away their best receiver and cornerback). But while McCoy is healthy, he should be a great fantasy asset.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
