LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 14

It has been one of the themes of the 2014 season: A matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is a fantasy nightmare for running backs.ย 

A few players have had success against Seattle's stout front seven this year, but it has mostly been a black hole for fantasy points. Week 14's victims were LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles, who, much like the rest of the offense, couldn't get anything going:

Darren Sproles400.0000.0

McCoy has blunt about his performance after the game via Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com:

Fortunately for the fantasy owners whose seasons weren't ended by McCoy, Philly's schedule eases up next week with a home contest against the Dallas Cowboys, who entered the week with Football Outsiders' 24th-ranked rush defense.ย 

McCoy tore up Dallas to the tune of 159 yards and a touchdown on Thanksgiving, and he'll be a surefire RB1 in Week 15.ย 

As for Sproles, the explosive veteran is always a candidate for a big playโ€”whether it be on offense or special teamsโ€”but he is simply too sporadic (Sproladic?) to trust in the fantasy playoffs. Keep him benched in all formats.ย
