Whos got the balls to bench mccoy?

[Frozenbeernuts 2,270]

Leveon Bell, Donald Brown, PT all getting the start over mccoy in my lineup. If i bench someone for mccoy it will be PT, but i like him to get some serious work against a Dallas team that will put up points.

[NEWPOSTERGUY! 288]

I know there is a fockin ton of protocol on noggin knocks these days, but Shady was nowhere near right in the head after that bell ringer. dude had to go begging for his lid afterwards ... something's afoul up in there

He just didnt look right to me. I think this may be a situation where we find out at the end of the season the foot injury that was supposed to be healed, ends up being a nagging injury the team kept to themselves.

 

Traded mccoy for leveon bell and alfred blue since i need a win and my rbs were really thin.

[JT 137]

Got the balls, just not the bodies. Difficult to field a full team this week due to the same issues as many (injuries, suspensions, bye week).

I know. This week hits me pretty hard in almost every league, and i have a losing record in almost every league. As of now my starting rbs for one league are bobby rainey and antone smith. Gerhart and cj.2k are benchified.

[tanatastic 2,062]

Not saying this will be mccoy...but thats why high profile busts are such cancers to fantasy teams. You can never get the stones to bench them cuz if he finally goes off you will jump out a window, but he keeps sucking and murdering your weeks. How many peoples seasons got single handedly ruined that year CJ2K came back and had somethin like 4 1 pnt gms in a row or something?

[MDC 7,484]

Two things going on here:

 

1. The league has caught on to the fact that Chip Kelly is a run first coach and they're going to stack the box and force Foles and a so-so group of receivers to beat them.

 

2. Eagles OL is all sorts of banged up right now and was missing 4-5 starters for most of Sunday.

 

This week against SF will be really tough. After that Philly gets Lane Johnson back at RT and hopefully some players get healthy. Not a terrible IDE to bench McCoy this week but better days are ahead.

[weepaws 3,202]

Depends on the replacements you have on the bench . But very hard for me even now to bench a fantasy stud that can go wild any week

[mgs316 14]

Better options is the problem for almost everyone.

 

Jennings, Thursday game on the road against the 2nd ranked run D. Pass.

Sankey, no chance.

Ingram, out.

Khiry, timeshare but a maybe i guess.

This is all absolutely true and the reason McCoy has struggled so far. But I think Chip Kelly is smart enough to find other ways to get his best player the ball in space. I can't believe he had 0 catches this past week. But I think that number will be 5+ this week.

[Dueces Will Be Wild 15]

I think the problem is 100% O-line. There's just been too many injuries/suspensions/whatever. That said, I currently have Gore vs Phi and D. Brown vs Jax in my lineup over McCoy.

I just don't see how anyone could do that, but too each their own. Frank Gore is getting 10-15 touches per game max it seems. He had 6 touches last week. Lesean Mccoy is going to get 20 touches most weeks. The Eagles will find ways to get him the ball more in the passing game. He is just soo much more talented than Frank Gore at this point in their careers.

 

Donald Brown had 31 carries for 62 yards last week. Obviously has a good matchup this week. I still wouldn't start him over someone as talented as McCoy. Just my opinion.

Well the Eagles but up 30 points on O regardless last week. I think the receivers are sub-average but the TEs and backs are all viable targets and if you put anyone in single coverage he will eventually get open.

 

Foles is also rough as friggin nails.

[jpcdds 26]

If you got 'em... Let me borrow them so I can bench Forte...

[Candygram4Mongo 8]

I think I have the backs to pull it off.

 

I'm concerned Shady still has ringing in his ears from his headache last week. On the road vs the Niners is a tall order.

 

I can start DBrown vJax, PierreT @Dal and Bradshaw vTen.

 

Yeah, McCoy could be solid, but I don't want to get burned again, and I've got the horses to go without him.

I'm optimistic for him for the season, but I don't think this is the match up for him to get better.

[Patriotica 5]

I have the cajones!! That's because I have Stevan Ridley and Lorenzo (just picked up).

[stonewall 647]

You guys are smoking crack.....but, hey, smoke em if you got em.

[GobbleDog 997]

Agreed. Benching a 3rd or 4th+ round player is one thing, but benching a healthy top 3 draft pick because "he just doesn't seem right..." after 3 games is insane.

Benching a top 5 pick in Lacy seemed pretty sane to me last week...

It might have worked out last week, but that's nuts. Why draft him if you don't have the confidence to start him after 2 weeks?

Because he sucked weeks 1-2, his line looked terrible, he played a top 3 run def, and I had better options on my bench...you know, critical thinking?

[Candygram4Mongo 8]

In last 10 home games, only 2 RBs have more than 13 pts (ppr) vs SF: Bradshaw and Ellington.

That includes Lynch and Lacy in 2013.

Would you start peterson if he was on your team? The fantasy landscape changes drastically from week 1 to week 3, which means you have to make tough decisions considering your studs. Shady hasnt done anything in the eagles tougher matchups so i dont see any problem with benching him.

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy is not concerned with his rushing numbers from Week 3, and said he does not feel like he is struggling after posting 22 yards on 19 carries. “I don't think I'm struggling at all,” McCoy said. “I don't know what you mean by that. I don't think I'm struggling, at all. So I don't know what you mean by that.”

Peterson is a bad example because he is obviously not playing. I don't agree with benching Lesean McCoy already in Week 4. Even in a tough matchup, I'd rank him the 5-7 range this week. He's just too talented to rank lower than that in my opinion.

After the game, yes.

Not the same defense this year.

Most owners do not have the luxury, but i think i have some pretty solid options this week in brown, bell, and PT.

Bell yes. Brown considering the the matchup, I can understand, even though I'd still prefer McCoy. PT I personally couldn't ever start over McCoy. PT is an OK flex play in PPR leagues, but he just doesn't get enough touches for my liking.

He hasnt yet but last year he didnt hit his stride until a few games into the season. Dallas is going to put up points with murray and dez. NO is going to have to be on their A game on offense. I think this is the perfect game with ingram still out.

[LunaTick 30]

I have him shifted to Flex and may bench for Marshall. depending upon which walking wounded i think might actually do something.

 

(i got my signature updated incorrectly.)

[$epphori$ 118]

would you bench McCoy for Sproles and J Bell vs JETS?

[Beyond Chaos 75]

would you bench McCoy for Sproles and J Bell vs JETS?

No and No.

[Frozenbeernuts 2,270]

would you bench McCoy for Sproles and J Bell vs JETS?

Joique against a great run defense? No way.

[Viking14 5]

He was my first pick (3rd overall)-after the draft there was a mention of him having turf toe (before the season opener).. He runs like it no acceleration and making no one miss. I am starting him, but he is not close to being the best back on his team. I am 3-0, but will not be there for much longer if my number 1 draft pick is a bust and that is what he looks like so far... HELP!!!

Why would you start Darren Sproles over Lesean McCoy, especially in a non-PPR league? McCoy is getting 20 touches or so. Sproles is lucky to get 10.

[H-man 12]

The second your draft is over, all of your players' fantasy value is constantly fluctuating, like stocks. You drafted studs early because they have the best CHANCE of producing, doesn't mean they actually will. Your decisions have to appreciate the dynamic nature of the NFL. I don't think the experts' rankings change enough to be as accurate possible, just enough to be SLIGHTLY more accurate than the other experts; from an individual expert's perspective, he'd rather be above average than risk being way behind for the chance of being way ahead. That's probably why going with your own gut, if you're a thinking owner, usually works out better than following the rankings in the long run.

[Dueces Will Be Wild 15]

I think the problem is 100% O-line. There's just been too many injuries/suspensions/whatever. That said, I currently have Gore vs Phi and D. Brown vs Jax in my lineup over McCoy.

I can't believe I didn't go with my gut. Switched him for Gore at the last second.

Two weeks in a row McCoy isn't a factor. Neither is Sproles. (my league doesn't award anything for returns argh).

 

I took the wrong Jets rb, it would appear Ivory is the best valued offensive player. I got a brand name. Stat is good this week, but too binge

Took the wrong Ravens rb.

Add to this, my weakness at WR, aka Marshall being a game time decision.

 

I am not too proud to not consider benching Eagles tandem. Something is a amiss there from a fantasy pov. NFL pov, a win is a win, but Foles looked desperate at the end of the 49'ers game.

 

This week I have 2 FA moves I can make and would like to take 3 or 4.

Pierce and Paul is gone.

Will post the question of who should take their place.
