Sit ’em: LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills
McCoy’s 2015 campaign is getting off to a pretty abysmal start. Not only did he miss most of training camp and preseason with an injured hamstring, but he still can’t shake the injury and enters Week 2 with extremely limited upside.
Head coach Rex Ryan has conceded the hamstring is a “little bit of a concern” but still expects McCoy to “play lots.” It’s really no different than the reports we heard coming out of Orchard Park before last weekend, but McCoy was a shell of his former self in that contest.
Karlos Williams looked much more explosive against the Colts, averaging 9.2 yards per carry. If McCoy comes out cold again (he only managed 2.4 yards per carry last weekend) and displays the same lack of burst we saw against Indy, then Ryan might be forced to put Shady on the shelf to ensure his team has a legitimate chance to challenge the Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium.
