Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy will not play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. He did not practice all week due to a lingering hamstring issue dating back to the preseason.
LeSean McCoy injury update: Fantasy value near zero this month
LeSean McCoy might be out for a few more weeks. We break down the fantasy implications.

McCoy reportedly has a Grade 2 hamstring strain. That means there is some tearing in the muscle and he is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks. The Bills have a Week 8 bye, so that means McCoy could be shut down until that point. The Bills are tied for the fifth-best record in the AFC at 3-2 and have their eyes on a playoff appearance.
The Bills are also without backup Karlos Williams. That means it should be Anthony Dixon and Dan Herron splitting the carries.
Fantasy impact: McCoy owners obviously have to hold tight and bench him for now. Meanwhile, Dixon is too risky to use in most leagues unless you’re desperate.
