SIT ‘EM – RB

16. . Running Back. Bills. LeSean McCoy. 2. player

I joked last week why anyone would start any member of the Bills right now, but LeSean McCoy is usually someone who belongs in the Start category. This week, however, he is a strong candidate in the Sit Em group.

McCoy hasn’t had a strong start to the season, failing to break 50 yards rushing in either of his two games so far. He also hasn’t found the end zone in a season that is quickly getting away from the Bills.

It won’t get any easier for McCoy or the Bills this week, as they’ll head to Minnesota to face a strong Vikings defense. Against that defense and in their home stadium is going to spell disaster for Buffalo. Plus, McCoy isn’t even 100% healthy this week, meaning he might not even play in the first place.

Even if McCoy does suit up, leave him on the bench. Minnesota’s defense didn’t allow Green Bay to crack 100 yards rushing a week ago and it’s doubtful Buffalo even cracks a dent in that run defense, even with someone as talented as LeSean McCoy.
