Eagles Center Jason Kelce Place On Injured Reserve: Fantasy Implications
Eagles center Jason Kelce will miss the remainder of the 2012 season due to a torn ACL. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: Kelce's injury deals a significant blow to the Eagles' offense, thus affecting the fantasy value of running back LeSean McCoy, quarterback Michael Vick, and receivers Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson. All four are obviously still viable fantasy options, though don't be surprised if there are a few hiccups in the coming weeks. The Eagles averaged 3.9 yards per carry running the ball this season while Kelce was at center.
