Fantasy Upside
McCoy had a monster season in 2013, leading the league in rushing and getting a ton of carries in Kelly’s fast-paced offense. He can do it all, hit the hole, use his speed outside and catch passes. There’s no reason not to expect much of the same this season from McCoy.
Fantasy Downside
The Eagles traded for Darren Sproles in the offseason so there’s a chance he’s going to steal some catches from McCoy this year. But keep in mind McCoy had 52 receptions last season and we project him for 47 this season, so not that big of a drop even with Sproles working his way in there.
Bottom Line
McCoy is a top-three running back this season and you can argue he’s a top-three fantasy player overall. We rank him number-two in standard leagues and number-three in PPR. If you pick early in your draft and you want to target a back, McCoy will be a guy you can plug and play every week and not have concerns.
