LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles, Chris Polk's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

Joseph ZuckerDec 14, 2014

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly made some enemies on Sunday night with his handling of the Eagles' backfield.

Not only did LeSean McCoy fail to crack the century mark on the ground, but he also had three touchdowns wrestled from his grasp near the goal line.

CBSSports.com's Tom Fornelli spoke for thousands of fantasy football owners across the country:

NFL.com's Michael Fabiano wondered who else Kelly would trot out near the goal line:

Some desperate fantasy owners are likely to add Chris Polk as soon as they can in the hopes that he replicates Sunday's performance next week. If you're still in the playoffs and in dire need of a running back, Polk might be worth the gamble, but prepare for him to do absolutely nothing.

Before Week 15, he had all of one touchdown in his career, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Darren Sproles wouldn't be a good starter except in deeper leagues. His ceiling's not all that high, and it may be unrealistic to count on him continuing to get carries close to the goal line.

In regard to McCoy, no advice is really necessary. You're not going to drop him to the bench in the playoffs. What might be concerning, though, is his lack of playing time over the last two weeks, per Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus:

The last thing you want this late in the year is a player like McCoy failing to live up to expectations.
