LeSean McCoy's, Chris Polk's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 8

LeSean McCoy, Chris Polk and the Philadelphia Eagles were turned away by the Arizona Cardinals 24-20 in Glendale, Arizona thanks to a 75-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to John Brown. More importantly to fantasy owners, neither man produced much in the way of statistics.

Chris Polk	3	13	0	1	1

McCoy has been a bit of a fantasy disappointment this season. He's been effective in a team concept, but McCoy has had just one 100-yard rushing game and one touchdown all season.

His production against a tough Cardinals run defense was encouraging, but being kept out of the end zone and below 100 yards again is concerning for fantasy owners.

It might be difficult to find a better option than McCoy on the waiver wire or through a trade. McCoy is capable of having a huge breakout performance, so it's tough to cut him loose unless you're totally desperate.

The Eagles take on the Houston Texans next week. The Texans came into Week 8 ranked 20th against the run, so McCoy has a favorable matchup.

As long as McCoy is healthy, he'll get enough touches to warrant a start. McCoy's usage level also ensures that Polk will remain a poor fantasy football option.

Coming into Sunday's game, Polk hadn't had an offensive touch. Against the Cardinals, his production was modest, to say the least.

With Darren Sproles still battling a knee injury, per NBC Sports' Josh Alper, Polk could see increased opportunities. Looking forward, I wouldn't expect Polk to get many more touches than he did Sunday.
