Colt McCoy (QB, WSH) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB  Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Eagles were without their top three cornerbacks in Week 12, and those injured players joined three other defensive backs on the sidelines, as Philadelphia’s secondary has been decimated by injury like no other. Poor Malcolm Jenkins is left picking up the slack of three undrafted free agent cornerbacks that have been forced into action. All of that sounds horrible, and it is for Eagles fans, but it’s great for the nigh universally available Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy.

Despite three interceptions, McCoy put up a respectable 18.52 points against a tough Dallas defense on Thanksgiving day and now gets an extra-long week to prepare for a showdown with Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. The Eagles have allowed the sixth most points to opposing quarterbacks this season, and have allowed over 250 passing yards in all but one game this season. Unlike most quarterbacks owned in fewer than 10% of leagues, McCoy is surrounded by a fair bit of talent on offense. He is the preferred desperation option this week against the Eagles.
