McCoy has been battling a hamstring injury since preseason, but hasn't missed any game action. He aggravated his injury in preparation for Week 2's bout with the New England Patriots, but got a full workload during the game. He doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing Week 3, and will likely take the practice field Thursday or Friday.
Fantasy impact: McCoy hasn’t looked like himself out of the gate, but the fact that he has been able to take on such a heavy workload at far less than 100 percent bodes well for his prospects going forward. The Bills have given McCoy 38 touches over his first two games, with which he has totaled a respectable 203 yards.
McCoy remains locked in as a low-end RB1 for Week 3 and beyond, as long as his health continues to trend upward. Karlos Williams is a premier handcuff for fantasy owners to snag and stash in the meantime.
