Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy did not practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion against the Washington Redskins last weekend. McCoy's status for Monday's game against the Carolina Panthers has not been determined but coach Andy Reid said that Bryce Brown would start if McCoy can't play.
LeSean McCoy not practicing for Eagles: Fantasy implications
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Rob Carr
McCoy had 45 yards rushing against the Redskins and was hurt late in the fourth quarter. Dion Lewis would also see time at running back against the Panthers if McCoy is inactive.
Fantasy Impact: There is still time for McCoy to be cleared but fantasy owners should be preparing to go without him in Week 12. A waiver claim on Brown would be a good place to start but he’s certainly not as dynamic as McCoy.
Fantasy owners should monitor injury reports as the week goes along before making a firm decision on McCoy.
