Eagles RB LeSean McCoy on his heavy workload against the Redskins...
“I didn’t mind it Monday night,” he said. “I think we can do a better job rotating because it’s a long season. I don’t think I need to have the ball 31, 32 times in a game for us to be a successful offense. We have too many different weapons. I think the running backs we have here can definitely play. Bryce Brown showed you last year he’s definitely a talented back. So I think we have to do a better job of monitoring the reps.”
McCoy said that while there are some packages that don’t include him, the majority of the time the coaches give him the option of whether he stays in the game or not. So some of the snap management falls on his shoulders.
Fantasy owners didn't mind it either, but McCoy is right -- it's a long season and he's going to have a tough time holding up if he's getting 32 touches per game. Bryce Brown is a player to target even for owners who do not have McCoy on their rosters.
