Legit Concern.....

BILLS MAY LIMIT LESEAN MCCOY'S TOUCHES

By Keith Kraska, Bills Correspondent, Wed, Aug 12th 5:11pm EDT

Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman says LeSean McCoy's touches over the past two seasons will factor into his usage. McCoy has topped 300 carries in each of the past two years and has more than 1,700 career touches. (Jay Skurski)

Fantasy Impact: The Bills are loaded in the backfield, with Fred Jackson, Karlos Williams, Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon behind McCoy, so they have the horses to lighten Shady's load to around, say, 15 to 18 carries a game. This is a concern that knocks McCoy into the second round of redrafts, where several other feature backs have issues.

Was this Helpful?

 

 

@ "loaded in the backfield"

 

Fred Jackson is 80.

 

Karlos Williams is a decent enough prospect but is a rookie.

 

Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon? LOL

 

"lighten the load to 15 to 18 carries." ... ok 16.5 x 16 games = is still 264 carries. dude has a career ypc average of 4.6. let's say he gets in the 4.3 range this year... 264 x 4.3 = 1,135 yards... and that's just on the ground

 

i'll take a "lightened load" mccoy... and if he's able to take on more, then he'll be even more valuable.

I read that the other day too. If they were "loaded" why did they trade for McCoy?
