KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

LeSean McCoy is a mystery at this point. He was a healthy inactive last week, but will likely return to playing in Week 17 as Spencer Ware is now done for the season. We expect Damien Williams to lead the Chiefs in the backfield, but it's mostly an unknown whether McCoy or Thompson will see more work in Week 17. With so much uncertainty, it's best to leave both on the bench against the Chargers.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Chicago Bears

The Chiefs have officially moved to a three-man backfield between LeSean McCoy, Spencer Ware and Darwin Thompson. All three were used pretty similarly in Week 15, and we expect that trend to continue. For the second straight week, Ware saw the most snaps, but none of the three backs really made a difference. They all cancel each other out, making the three backs nothing more than desperation flex plays in the hopes you picked correctly on which one scores a touchdown.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Denver Broncos

LeSean McCoy had the most carries out of Kansas City's mess of a backfield last week, finishing with 11 rushes for 39 yards (he caught just one pass for four yards). McCoy's usage is a bit muddied moving forward with Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware sharing time in the backfield. McCoy gets a tough matchup against the Broncos this week as well, which makes him an unappealing option. He should be viewed as nothing more than a flex play against Denver.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at New England Patriots

LeSean McCoy has had a weird season for the Chiefs. He's gone from being their starting rusher to being a healthy scratch to being in a committee with the fourth-string running back. He finished with eight touches last week for 30 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. He'll be splitting touches with Darwin Thompson this week in a brutal matchup against the Patriots who are allowing the fewest fantasy points to running backs. Based on the matchup and the confusion surrounding his touches, McCoy should be seen as a desperation flex play this week.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Oakland Raiders

After seeing just six snaps in Week 9 and being a healthy scratch for Week 10, LeSean McCoy bounced back and played in Week 11, finishing with 57 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs' three-headed backfield is a confusing one, but helping to alleviate the confusion is the fact Damien Williams is injured. If he's inactive Sunday, then McCoy becomes a decent flex play in Week 13 against the Raiders. If Damien Williams is active, however, expect a mix of McCoy and the two Williams backs, making all three poor flex options.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tennessee Titans

LeSean McCoy had just four touches for nine yards last week as he only played on six snaps. He was actually out-snapped by Darrel Williams, which is the first time that's happened since Damien Williams has been healthy. McCoy's usage should worry fantasy owners and he should be viewed as a desperation flex play this week against the Titans.

KC RB LeSean McCoy - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings

LeSean McCoy finished with 63 scrimmage yards last week with a fumble, so definitely not one of his best games this year. The Chiefs have been mixing in McCoy and the Williams's in the backfield, so it's tough for any of them to really have a huge game unless they break a big play. McCoy is clearly the best of the bunch, though, giving him low-end RB2 value. Expect that production this week as McCoy gets a tough matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs.
