BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Oakland Raiders

LeSean McCoy had his best game of the season last week against Tampa with 122 yards from scrimmage, but more importantly, he also scored his first 2 touchdowns of the season. McCoy has been the No. 1 option in the Bills' offense, but has been up and down. The lack of scoring has knocked his ranking down a little bit in recent weeks because of production. His touches aren't an issue as he has recorded 20+ in every game but one this season.

Shady will face an average Raiders run defense this Sunday—Oakland ranks 15th in aFPA to running backs. But we expect McCoy to be able to put up very good numbers again as long as he still gets the targets, which is expected.

Start McCoy as a top-five fantasy running back in all leagues and formats for Week 8.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

LeSean McCoy is averaging 22 touches per game. He is the best offensive option on the Buffalo offense and the Bills have made sure he gets the ball. Of course, this creates weekly opportunities to put up good fantasy numbers. McCoy has been up-and-down with his yardage totals but one glaring number is 0 touchdowns in 2017.

McCoy will face Tampa Bay, who is ranked 15th in aFPA to running backs. Coming off the bye week, Shady should be well-rested for Sunday. The results could be better this season, but no reason to think McCoy isn't capable of a big game each week. Start McCoy as a low-end RB1 for Week 7 against the Bucs.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cincinnati Bengals

LeSean McCoy's numbers were back where we expected them after average performances in Weeks 2 and 3. He had 23 touches (20 rushing attempts) for 108 yards. Even though he is still without a touchdown in 2017, if he keeps getting 20+ touches per game, the touchdowns will come. More importantly, the formula is working in Buffalo and Shady remains the focus of the offense.

Next, McCoy will face a Bengals defense ranked 10th in aFPA to running backs. As long as he gets the touches, he will be a very good play on the road in Cincinnati. He isn't a top-tier fantasy back for Week 5, but definitely a solid RB1. Start him in all leagues and formats.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

LeSean McCoy didn't run with the football very well against Denver last week which wasn't surprising. He still totaled 21 touches, including 7 catches for 48 yards. I think there is little doubt the Bills will get McCoy a minimum of 20 touches, which will always keep him relevan,t even against good defenses.

McCoy is not 100% (injured wrist), but he practiced all week long so he will play. He faces a Falcons defense ranked 28th in aFPA to running backs, so McCoy should have some success on the road.

Start McCoy in all leagues and formats for Week 4.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

After a strong Week 1, LeSean McCoy fell flat in Carolina with only 9 rushing yards and 18 touches. The expectation is around 25 touches per game, but the Panthers were able to limit McCoy's effectiveness. He did stay involved in the passing game with 6 receptions.

The very good Denver defense comes to Buffalo, and McCoy should be the focal point of the Bills' offense. He is nursing a sore groin and missed practice Friday, but is expected to play. The Broncos are very good against the pass, but only rank 18th in aFPA to running backs. Expect Buffalo to use Shady to take pressure off Tyrod Taylor and the passing game

The touches should be back up as long as Buffalo maintains some ball control. McCoy ranks as a solid RB1 for Week 3, so start him in all leagues and formats.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

LeSean McCoy was supposed to be one of the top fantasy running backs in 2017. And it looked that way in Week 1. Shady rushed for 122 yards and had 49 yards receiving in the Bills' opener. The only downside was he didn't get in the end zone, which could be an issue down the road, but we will wait for a larger sample size.

McCoy will face a better defense in Week 2, as Carolina ranks first in aFPA to running backs after one week. This is a good Panthers defense and Buffalo will struggle on the road offensively. But because McCoy will always get around 25 touches, providing great value. He is a solid RB1 for Sunday—start him in all leagues and formats.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. New York Jets

LeSean McCoy begins his third year with the Bills as one of the best fantasy running back options in the NFL. Buffalo is expected to lean heavily on Shady, which means 30 touches is possible every game, especially early in the season.

Against the Jets in 2016, McCoy had 90 yards from scrimmage in the first meeting and his playing time was limited in the season finale. The Jets defense was 14th in aFPA to running backs last season, but is expected to be much worse this season.

With the fact that the Bills are on the record saying they will ride McCoy as much as he can handle, he is a great start for Week 1 as a top-5 fantasy running back. Start him in all leagues and formats.
