LeSean McCoy listed as probable for Bills, fantasy owners
Despite being forced into an early exit in Week 9, LeSean McCoy is set to take the field on a short week. We break down the fantasy implications.

McCoy exited Sunday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins with a shoulder injury that was later labeled a strain. Karlos Williams entered in relief of McCoy and steamrolled the Dolphins' front seven in the same manner McCoy did before his exit. The two, plus Tyrod Taylor, combined for 266 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns en route to a 33-17 victory.
Fantasy impact: Barring anything unforeseen, McCoy will suit up on Thursday night against the New York Jets, but isn't expected to have the field day he did in Week 9 against the Dolphins. The Jets defense has allowed the second fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, and is just a fraction of a point away from boasting the fewest allowed. The Jets have also allowed a league-low 645 rushing yards and have given up just two rushing touchdowns on the season.
With a tough matchup at hand and presumably less than 100 percent healthy, McCoy is a middling RB2 for Week 10 instead of being at his usual RB1 designation.
