McCoy had missed most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, so it flaring up again is cause for some concern. Thursday was not a planned rest day for McCoy, indicating that he could have suffered a setback. Should McCoy be unable to go on Sunday, Karlos Williams will get the nod in his place.
Fantasy Spin: It would be hard to envision the Bills not doing everything possible to get McCoy onto the field in a true AFC East showdown with the New England Patriots, but if he's far less than 100 percent, fantasy owners may have to explore more options.
Williams should be a priority add for all McCoy owners in the meantime, and injury reports will need to have watchful eyes on them in preparation for Sunday’s lineup setting. Fortunately, the Bills have a 1 p.m. game, which won’t limit the contingency plans if McCoy sits. If he starts, it’s hard to envision McCoy at anything more than a low-end RB2.
