It happens every year, a fantasy 1st rounder bombs. Last year it was Doug Martin. McCoy isn't the only 1st rd fantasy pick to not perform thus far this season. AD, Demaryius Thomas have all been let downs.

Yeah but not less than 2 points bad lol.

Yeah but not less than 2 points bad lol.

Err..AD hadn't had a point since week one. .. that's pretty bad

 

[TREFF]

And btw.. he's having a decent day. . Not great, but almost better than last two combined through one half

 

[gobigred]

I picked Lacy in 1st round and until his game on Thursday where he got 2 TDs and over 100 yards, he has been pretty disappointing as well

Yeah but he hasn't been unproductive, he's been inactive.

This isn't baseball. Can't wait forever

I don't see how it's a waste of a pick. Has he played up to expectations no. But you know exactly why that is. I would be a lot more worried if he was doing this behind a healthy OL. He's not so I wouldn't be hitting the panic button. But you seem dead set on doing so with him. Watch the games and see what the issue is. Not the RB on this one imo.

Spiller 1.7 points pierre thomas 19.2

Does that really matter? Your talking about wasted picks and thinking is so funny. .McCoy owners are much happier than Peterson owners

 

[bksballer89]

D Thomas 5 catches/165 yards/2 tds in the first half

Yes, it does matter (so far at least). Peterson owners have had a chance to play someone else in his place. McCoy owners have been riding him through shitty performances.

Still a wasted pick.. which was his entire premise. Can't change the terms of a debate halfway through

Friend just messaged me this.

For the second consecutive week, the Eagles did not have a single carry against fewer than seven men in the box. Meanwhile, LeSean McCoy has been unable to overcome that adversity. His -25 FAYE* was sixth worst the week, and his -112 FAYE for the season is just seven yards out of Donald Brown’s cellar. I expect a lot of fantasy owners will be eager to buy on McCoy still, so sell him if you can. Only 28.6 percent of his carries this season have been against favorable fronts, down from 78.0 percent in 2013. Whether or not he’s the same player, his situation is much, much worse.
*FAYE = Front adjusted yards over expected. Basically it measures yardage gained normalized for the front the back is seeing.
According to this article, last year no one was putting 7+ in the box against the Eagles on a regular basis. Over the last 2 games, SF and WSH did it on every run play and the results speak for themselves. Will the rest of the league continue this trend when playing against McCoy? its a copycat league so i wouldn't bet against it. The Rams are coming off a bye week and you can bet someone in their organization noticed what SF and WSH did. Its interesting to note that the author of this article rated Shady as only his 11th best RB for this week, while every other author at PFF fantasy had him at least 7th, with some as high as 1st.

A player who played and provided sub-replacement level performance helped a team less than a player who didn't play and provided nothing.

I'm not saying that Peterson wasn't a bad pick. But I bet teams who drafted Peterson have done better (so far) on average than teams who drafted McCoy.
