BUF RB LeSean McCoy - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

LeSean McCoy is one of the NFL's most steady running backs. He has eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in five-of-eight seasons (the only seasons he didn't run for over 1,000 yards were his rookie season and two seasons in which he wasn't healthy). McCoy also increased his involvement in the passing game last season, recording 50-plus receptions for the first time since 2013. With Mike Gillislee now off the roster, McCoy's touches and touchdown totals should increase. At 29, McCoy is in his prime.

Fantasy Downside

McCoy will never return to his 2013 career-high numbers. After Bills backs had the highest average yards per carry last season, expect there to be some regression with an offensive line that will fall back to the middle of the pack, according to Football Outsiders. Usage is always a question with running backs when a new coaching staff takes over a team, which is the case in Buffalo. It can be a positive or negative for McCoy, but that unknown factor has to be taken into account.

2017 Bottom Line

McCoy will be one of the better running back fantasy choices in 2017 drafts. He will get his touches in both the running and passing game. While McCoy isn't considered a top-tier back, he's definitely one of the best backs to target from the second tier. His overall ADP of six is about right where he belongs. He rates as the RB4 in standard leagues and is the RB3 in PPR Leagues. McCoy has at least one more impact season in him.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Jets
LeSean McCoy ran for 128 yards this past week with a touchdown. Shady has now rushed for over 100 yards in four out of his last give games. The 29 touches was a season-high for him, so even though the Bills have struggled at times, he has been a bright spot for Buffalo. McCoy is battling a sore knee, but is expected to play.

McCoy will face the Jets this week, who are 21st in aFPA to running backs. In the first meeting, McCoy put up average numbers with 90 yards from scrimmage. But with the Jets in turmoil right now, McCoy should have a monster day if he gets 25 touches. Start him as one of the best fantasy options for Week 17.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Miami
LeSean McCoy exploded against the Browns last week for his best fantasy game of the season. He rushed for a season-high 153 yards and two touchdowns and he did it with only 19 carries. It was Shady's third 100+ rushing yard performance in the last four games.

McCoy faces the Dolphins for the second time this year and should yield better results than eight-carry, 11-yard performance. Miami is ranked fourth in aFPA to running backs, but even with the matchup favoring the defense, McCoy has been playing very well and the Bills have been leaning on him offensively. Start McCoy as one of the top fantasy running backs for Week 16.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Cleveland
A late fourth quarter surge that included a touchdown helped LeSean McCoy avoid a bad fantasy outing last week. He only rushed for 27 yards, but he did catch six passes for 81 yards to put him over 100 yards from scrimmage. The rushing total was his lowest since Week 7.

McCoy should be used often in the bitter cold in Buffalo this Sunday. The matchup is great for him, as he faces Cleveland, who is 31st in aFPA to running backs. Expect more touches and production in Week 15 for Shady and start him as one of the top fantasy running backs this weekend.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Baltimore
LeSean McCoy was one of the best fantasy performers for Week 13 with 24 touches for 191 yards. The only negative was he didn't reach the end zone. The story has been the same all season for Shady. If he gets the touches, he produces. He now has five 100+ yard rushing games in 2016 and has been the key to Buffalo's success on offense.

McCoy has a favorable matchup at home this week against the Steelers, who are 25th in aFPA to running backs. Although Pittsburgh is playing better, McCoy should still do his damage. Start him as a solid RB1 for Week 14.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Oakland
LeSean McCoy seems healthy again and it showed last week. He rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns and more important he was over 20 touches. Usually when he hits that mark, he has a positive fantasy impact.

The Raiders are next up for Buffalo and are ranked 30th in aFPA to running backs, which points to McCoy having a big game on the west coast. Start him in all leagues and formats, as he is projected to be a top-5 fantasy running back for Week 13.

BUF RB LeSean McCoy - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Jacksonville
LeSean McCoy returned last week, but that wasn't much help to his owners last week. McCoy only had seven touches and his health is still a concern. He actually had thumb surgery this week, but is expected to play against the Jaguars.

McCoy is the offense for the Bills. They want him to touch the ball at least 25 times a game, but that has not happened every week. He will face Jacksonville, who is 18th in aFPA to running backs, and as long as he gets his touches, McCoy should put up decent numbers. But his health is still a question going into Week 12. Start McCoy, but only as a high-end RB2 against the Jags.
