LeSean McCoy: Illness Won't Prevent Eagles RB from Dominating Bears

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has been running wild on opposing defenses all season long; it seems like there is nothing that can stop him. Well, it turns out that his immune system has failed him and could make things a bit more difficult for him against the Chicago Bears on Monday night. 

According to Philadelphia radio host Adam Caplan, McCoy is sitting out practice today with a stomach flu. 

The good news for Eagles fans and fantasy owners is that the team has an extra day to prepare for their game, which gives McCoy more time to get healthy. 

McCoy has been the best running back in the NFL this season, with 754 yards and 10 total touchdowns. He has even forced his head coach, Andy Reid, who loves to throw the ball as much as anybody, to incorporate him into the game plan more each week. 

There have even been some people comparing McCoy to Barry Sanders, for the way that he runs and his ability to make would-be tacklers look foolish. 

Anything that could be a detriment to McCoy's performance on the field causes fantasy owners to panic. But the entire Eagles fan base is trying to find the Santa Claus they booed just to beg for the running back to return to health. 

The Bears' defensive line has gotten better in recent weeks, but they are not going to be any match for McCoy in this game. 

McCoy's game is predicated on speed and making tacklers miss. The Bears' defensive front features more power than speed, so they are not going to be able to catch up to him coming around the edges.

Stomach flu or no stomach flu, McCoy's hot streak is going to continue against a good Bears team. Don't even hesitate to put him in your fantasy team's starting lineup this week.
