LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 11

Sunday was not a great day for the Philadelphia Eagles against the Green Bay Packers, but it wound up being a good one for fantasy owners of LeSean McCoy.  

The Eagles' lead back compiled over 100 total yards just a week after failing to reach 20 yards against the Carolina Panthers. McCoy and Darren Sproles split touches again, but it was McCoy that made the biggest dent on the ground, as expected.

Player	LeSean McCoy	Darren Sproles
Carries	23	2
Rush Yds	88	21
Rec.	1	2
Targets	1	6

Fantasy Points (Standard)	10.6	4.4

Even with his high total yards, McCoy was unable to touch pay dirt for the eighth game this season. His struggles have been well publicized, but he has still posted double-digit points in three of the last five games.

SportsCenter pointed out the struggles for McCoy in comparison to none other than J.J. Watt:

McCoy has looked slightly more consistent but still isn't posting great numbers for an RB1 in fantasy. With matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks around the time of the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 13, 14 and 15), expectations have to be tempered with McCoy moving forward.

As for his teammate in the backfield, Sproles' role continues to be an unpredictable one. He has more value in a PPR league, but Sproles hasn't been splitting equal carries or snaps with McCoy in recent weeks.

Given their current roles, McCoy has a chance to keep his title as an RB1 if he can simply get more goal-line carries. Without them, neither McCoy nor Sproles can be dependable backs for fantasy owners, though McCoy remains a must-start due to his draft status and weekly potential to erupt.
