Buffalo Bills starting running back LeSean McCoy is officially listed as probably for Week 1's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. McCoy practiced in full every day this week, and he looks locked in to dominate the touches in the Bills backfield in their regular season opener.

McCoy did admit earlier in the week that he didn’t think he would be 100 percent for Sunday’s game. That will still be enough for him to handle close to a full workload in Buffalo.
Fantasy impact: McCoy’s fantasy stock plummeted leading up the 2015 season, as a change of scenery and an underwhelming showing last year combined to scare some owners away. He’s the starter in a run-heavy offense, though, so he won’t be short on touches.
He’s facing a weak Colts defense to start the year. McCoy might be a good running back to take a gamble on for daily fantasy owners looking for contrarian plays.
