BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues/Add in Deep Leagues
OWNED IN: Karlos Williams: 46% owned in Fleaflicker / Mike Gillislee: 1% owned in Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy is reportedly now dealing with a torn MCL and is considered "week-to-week" with a hope that he returns for Week 17. What this means for you is that he is out for most of your championship weeks and honestly that Week 17 hope looks very doubtful. You want to pick up Karlos first, but Gillislee has run very well in these past few weeks and is not a bad option at all. He actually outsnapped Williams 19-13 when all was said and done on Sunday, but do note it was Williams' first game and he probably was eased back in a bit. Clearly Buffalo runs enough to support two running backs, and while you hate to rely on Gillislee to break off a big touchdown run each week, this is the offense and system where it can happen. Karlos Williams still averaged over ten yards a carry himself though, carrying the ball four times for 41 yards (Gillislee had 81 yards and a touchdown on four carries). Buffalo faces the tough Dallas defense next followed by a date with the Jets, so both of those defenses play the run rather well. All the same, McCoy owners are definitely making these adds and the rest of you should be as well.
