Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy will not play against the New York Giants on Sunday. He did not practice this week and his status going forward is unclear.
LeSean McCoy injury update: Karlos Williams set for fantasy value
LeSean McCoy won’t play on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
McCoy has been doubtful all week and the Bills clearly want his hamstring to heal up. With McCoy out, the team clearly has confidence in running back Karlos Williams. In three games, Williams has 24 carries, 186 yards and three touchdowns -- that's good for a yards-per-carry average of 7.8.
Williams gets himself a nice matchup in the starting role. The Giants have been gashed on the season, coming in as the 27th-best matchup for running backs in PPR leagues. The Bills are counting on their running game a lot, ranking first in total rushing yards and tied for first in rushing touchdowns per game.
Fantasy impact: Williams is a must-start this week. The Giants are not strong between the tackles with their subpar linebackers, which is an area the Bills thrive.
