Editor’s update: McCoy will play on Sunday vs. Jaguars, and could get more work than normal with Mike Gillislee out, according to Ian Rapoport.
LeSean McCoy injury update: RB questionable for Bills, fantasy owners [Update]
Expect LeSean McCoy to face the Jaguars this Sunday.

The Buffalo Bills are listing LeSean McCoy as questionable against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.
McCoy suffered a dislocated thumb in the first half of Buffalo’s Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Prior to the injury, McCoy had 33 rushing yards on five runs, including a 7-yard score in the first quarter.
McCoy has since had surgery on the thumb, but he is expected to play vs. Jacksonville this Sunday. If McCoy were to be out, the Bills have been relying on Mike Gillislee to take the majority of backup touches.
Against Cincinnati, Gillislee had 14 runs for 72 yards. It is possible we see more of a 50-50 split between Gillislee and McCoy this week to keep the latter from getting further injured.
Fantasy Impact: If McCoy is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 11th-best running back in Week 12. He would face a Jaguars defense tied for the seventh-most rushing scores allowed this season (10).
As long as McCoy is active, keep him in your starting lineup.
