splotchman Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice to see Shady back for those of us that spent a top draft pick on him. Not happy about the Sproles TD, but I'll take the return to form. Still not worth a Top 3 pick, but better than stinking up the joint with a 2 YPC average.

Grits and Shins Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Wonder how many fantasy owners finally benched him this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Now Sproles down.. Working his knee.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinGuil Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm starting McCoy and also have Doug Martin . I'm so happy McCoy looks fresh, quick, shifty, and worth his draft spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I benched him for LeVeon Bell and Ben Tate. Still won my game this week, but nice to see I may actually have to start about playing McCoy again. Also nice to think after this outing, I may be able to trade one of my 4 RBs (other one is Bradshaw) if I so choose to go after a WR. Then again, it's nice to have the depth at RB, and free agent WRs in this particular league are fairly plentiful if one does one's homework.

TonyBromo Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It was only a matter of time. If you look at his rushing numbers, they aren't bad aside from those two games he got completely shut down bc of the o-line. He is full steam ahead at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 No complaints at all about the yardage last nite, but someone please draw the dude a map to where the EZ is. On a more serious note, the 2 total stinker games so far in 2014 is what still has me a bit concerned about the rest of the season w/him ... in years past, he always seemed like a very consistent FF point scorer -- clearly not putting up 125/2...3/25/0 every week, but even on an 'off' day you could generally expect ~60 total yards and 3-4 catches, to salvage something from the position for your fantasy team. Having more than 2-3 of those days per season where a 'key starter' generates ~2 FF points for you are what keeps FF teams from making the FF playoffs. Actually, I made myself curious, so I looked it up ... over the past few seasons, here are the total number of games per year where McCoy has been held to <75 total yards, <3 catches & zero TDs all in the same game: -- 2010: 1 (of 15 games) -- 2011: 1 (of 15 games) -- 2012: 0 (of 16 games) -- 2013: 0 (of 16 games) -- 2014: 2 (of 5 games) ... so I guess if we have seen the end of his 'stinkers' for the season, we are good to go.

ts Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 As an update/related note, Roto is now reporting that D. Sproles will be out "a few weeks" due to his knee injury ... however, no specifics yet that I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Updated report (from Roto) on Sproles: Darren Sproles has been diagnosed with a slight MCL tear in his left knee and is expected to miss at least one game. Sproles' official timetable is 2-3 weeks. The Eagles are on a bye in Week 7, face the Cardinals in Week 8 and then the Texans in Week 9.

Tripleshot Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Amazing what a healthier o-line can do for you, no? And with Sproles out for a few weeks, he'll get some passes and screens back that Sproles has been vulturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
