Bryce Brown's Instant Fantasy Reaction After LeSean McCoy's Injury

Timothy RappJun 4, 2018

Philadelphia Eagles fans and LeSean McCoy fantasy football owners received a scare in Week 11, as the star runner left the game in the second quarter with a right hamstring injury.

The team's official Twitter account reports he is questionable to return:

If Shady misses any time, how valuable does that make Bryce Brown for fantasy owners?

Pretty darn valuable.   

At worst, Brown becomes an RB2 for owners in this explosive Eagles offense. He obviously doesn't have the upside as McCoy; whereas Shady is shifty and elusive in space, making him invaluable in Chip Kelly's offense, Brown is much more of a direct, one-cut runner. But he has the talent to put up big number's in McCoy's stead.

Another player to keep an eye on if McCoy misses any time is third-string runner Chris Polk, who could become the team's short-yardage and red-zone back seeing as Brown has been prone to fumbles in the past. 

However, McCoy owners shouldn't worry now as the star back returned to the game in the second half and didn't seem to be suffering from the injury.

But Brown is the man to own right now, and should McCoy be forced to miss any time, he'll be a very popular add on waivers this week. 

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy lineup questions, tweet random fantasy musings and wonder why Ray Rice decided to produce the week I finally benched him.
