Updating previous reports, Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (head) has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during the team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Oct. 21.

Huddle Up: After a slow start McCoy had turned it the past two weeks, but now the 30-year-old back is banged up again. He'll need to clear the protocol before he's eligible to return. If you're looking for a silver lining, McCoy will get an extra day to recover as the Bills host New England on Monday Night Football in Week 8.

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (head) rushed for one yard on two carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7 before he left because of a head injury.

Huddle Up: McCoy will need to be cleared before he will be able to play in Week 8, so owners should monitor his practice participation during the week. He would be a No. 2 running back next week against the New England Patriots if he plays.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (head) will not return to the Week 7 game because of his head injury.

Huddle Up: McCoy may have suffered a concussion during the game, but owners should know more about his status in the next day or two. Chris Ivory should receive a majority of the touches at running back while McCoy is sidelined and could be a flex option for owners.

Posted: 10/21/2018 10:21am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (head) left the Week 7 game early and is being evaluated for a head injury.

Huddle Up: McCoy likely is being checked for a concussion and may not return to the game. Owners should keep an eye on the situation because Chris Ivory would receive most of the work at running back if McCoy misses any time.

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed 16 times for 73 yards in Week 6 against the Houston Texans and he added three receptions for 21 yards on five targets.

Huddle Up: It isn't much, and he is still without a touchdown through five games, but at least Shady has 94 or more scrimmage yards in each of the past two weeks. He was drafted to be a RB1 in fantasy leagues, and he is far from that. However, at least he is starting to show some signs of life lately. The Bills travel to meet the Colts in Week 7.

Updating a previous report, the Buffalo Bills appear unlikely to trade RB LeSean McCoy to the Philadelphia Eagles. There was no discussion of compensation during talks between the two sides last week and the Bills appear interested in holding on to McCoy through at least the 2019 season, according to a source.

Huddle Up: The Bills are likely to ask for a great deal in return for McCoy in any serious trade offer, so the odds of him going anywhere are slim. However, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or high-end flex option at this stage of his career.

Posted: 10/9/2018 9:20am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy interests the Philadelphia Eagles, who have reached out to Buffalo to feel out a possible trade, a source said Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Huddle Up: The deal would make sense on all sides, with the Eagles needing RB help after losing Jay Ajayi to an ACL tear and the Bills seemingly building for the future. McCoy has been the Bills' top offensive weapon since arriving in 2015, but he's on the wrong side of 30 now and there's no reason to think he'd object to moving to a contending team and returning to the franchise where he's the all-time leading rusher. Stay tuned ...

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed 24 times for 85 yards in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans and he added two receptions for a team-high 23 yards on three targets.

Huddle Up: McCoy was the fantasy star for the Bills on a day both sides turned in some really ugly numbers. In fact, his total scrimmage yards easily set a season high, as his previous best was 68 total yards in Week 2 against the Chargers. Shady is struggling mightily and posting RB3-type numbers while failing to find the end zone in his four games. Stick with him at this point, but he is clearly no longer elite. The Bills will travel to meet the Texans in Week 6.

Posted: 9/30/2018 1:20pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed five times for 24 yards in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers and he had three catches for 13 yards.

Huddle Up: The Bills got away from the run early on after falling behind and the offense and team never recovered in the shutout loss. Part of the reason might have been because he was returning from an injury to his ribs, too, so there was no sense potentially aggravating his injury with the game out of hand. He'll look to get back on track in Week 5 against the visiting Titans.

Posted: 9/30/2018 9:05am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is active for the team's Week 4 game against the Green Bay Packers after sitting out Week 3.

Huddle Up: McCoy is back in his starting role, and while Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy likely will still see a few touches, expect McCoy to handle the bulk of the load and is a usable flex/low-end RB2.

Posted: 9/29/2018 9:17pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is playing against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, according to a source.

Huddle Up: McCoy has been dealing with injuries out of the gate and has been unable to put up his typical numbers. He should be treated as a volume-based RB2 in Week 4.

Posted: 9/28/2018 10:28am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is listed as questionable for Week 4 after putting in a third straight limited practice Friday, Sept. 28. When asked Friday if McCoy will play, head coach Sean McDermott said, 'we'll see.'

Posted: 9/27/2018 11:46am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (rib) was still limited in practice Thursday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: McCoy has already said he's going to play, although he may not see a full load given the recent injury and since he was absent last week. Even so, McCoy has to be viewed as an RB2 for the time being despite the disappointing start to the season and the injury.

Posted: 9/26/2018 12:00pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (rib) was limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 26.

Huddle Up: McCoy already said he'll be playing this weekend. Whether or not he's given his full workload is another matter. Either way, he's got a decent matchup with the Green Bay Packers and deserves a look as an RB2.

Posted: 9/26/2018 10:51am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) said he is playing this week despite dealing with cracked rib cartilage.

Huddle Up: McCoy has had an extra week to recover as he was not active in Week 3. The Bills may choose not to give McCoy his usual allotment of touches, but he is in RB2 territory nonetheless.

Posted: 9/26/2018 8:38am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (rib) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 26.

Huddle Up: Shady would be an RB2 against the Green Bay Packers this week if he's fit to go.

Posted: 9/24/2018 1:32pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is making progress and considered day-to-day as he continues to recover from cracked rib cartilage, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Huddle Up: McCoy has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments even when healthy this year. The Bills are coming off an historic upset, though, and McCoy has a favorable matchup with the Green Bay Packers waiting. If he's active, he's an RB2 candidate at worst.

Posted: 9/23/2018 8:57am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is inactive for Week 3's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Huddle Up: McCoy took part in pregame warmups before the coaching staff decided to deactivate him. Chris Ivory will receive the bulk of the carries versus Minnesota but should be viewed as a weak flex option in standard fantasy leagues.

Posted: 9/22/2018 9:42pm ET

Updating previous reports, Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source. McCoy will see how he feels in the pregame before the coaching staff makes a final decision.

Huddle Up: Chris Ivory should replace McCoy if Shady sits, and it is highly probable the former will see an increased workload even if McCoy is able to play. Ivory is no better than a weak flex play in standard scoring.

Posted: 9/22/2018 10:22am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (rib) is traveling with the team for their Week 3 game and is still considered questionable to play.

Huddle Up: McCoy is expected to be a game-time decision, so owners will need to check the inactive list. He may see limited touches if he plays and is facing a tough Minnesota Vikings defense. Owners may only see him as a flex option because of his uncertain status.

Posted: 9/21/2018 11:04am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (rib) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 21, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.

Huddle Up: McCoy probably will be a game-time decision for Week 3 and his status may depending on his pain tolerance. He would be a risky option if he plays this week but could still be a No. 2 running back or flex option. Chris Ivory probably would receive most of the work if McCoy is ruled out and could be a flex option in standard leagues.

Posted: 9/21/2018 8:29am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) wore a non-contact jersey for the third straight day during practice Friday, Sept. 21.

Huddle Up: McCoy's availability for Sunday's game in Minnesota has grown spottier by the day, and his fantasy general managers should already have backup plans in place. Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy are McCoy's backups in Buffalo, but neither is worth serious fantasy consideration given the Bills' offensive struggles and the brutal matchup with the Vikings.

Posted: 9/20/2018 9:19am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) maintained his limited status in practice Thursday, Sept. 20, while wearing a non-contact jersey.

Huddle Up: A non-contact jersey on a Thursday is not a good sign for McCoy's Week 3 availability. His status may need to be monitored up until pre-game warmups, so have a backup plan like Chris Ivory in place in case McCoy is ruled out or limited.

Posted: 9/19/2018 10:33am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Sept. 19.

Huddle Up: McCoy is probably headed for a questionable tag as he deals with cracked rib cartilage. Even if he plays he'll be up against the vaunted Minnesota Vikings defense. If he's eventually ruled out then Chris Ivory has flex appeal.

Posted: 9/17/2018 6:19am ET

Updating previous reports, Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) had X-rays rule out broken ribs Monday, Sept. 17.

Huddle Up: He avoided broken ribs, but everything around him sure looks broken. He has rushed 16 times for 61 yards and caught five balls for 28 yards. He'll face another tough day in Week 3 with the Minnesota Vikings. McCoy looks like a shaky RB2 right now.

Posted: 9/16/2018 2:48pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) rushed for 39 yards on nine carries against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2. He also caught four passes for 29 yards during the game.

Huddle Up: McCoy was not able to finish the game because of injured ribs, so owners will need to monitor the situation during the week. The Bills will be facing a tough Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 3, but McCoy could still be a No. 2 fantasy running back if he plays.

Posted: 9/16/2018 12:47pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) left the Week 2 game early because of injured ribs and is considered questionable to return.

Huddle Up: Owners will need to keep an eye on the situation to see if McCoy will miss any additional time. McCoy is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy, but Chris Ivory would be at least a flex option if McCoy misses time.

Posted: 9/9/2018 4:54pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed seven times for just 22 yards in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens and he added one catch for minus-1 yard.

Huddle Up: The Buffalo offense was a disaster and Shady might struggle to find running room until the quarterback play is a little better for the Bills. He'll look to bounce back in Week 2 against the visiting Chargers.

Posted: 9/3/2018 11:38am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy is eligible to play in Week 1 versus the Baltimore Ravens and will not be placed on the commissioner's exempt list 'at this time,' according to comments made by league spokesman Brian McCarthy on Monday, Sept. 3.

Huddle Up: All this means for now is McCoy will be able to play in Week 1. Given how many red flags this year (off-field issues, 30-year-old running back in one of the league's worst offenses, etc.), it's hard to feel confident about his ability to be a major contributor to a fantasy team. Working in his favor is the fact he has no one fighting him for volume and his immense talent. Owners have to decide whether those two factors are enough to make him worth the headache of owning in 2018.

Posted: 8/22/2018 3:23pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (groin, hip) is considered day-to-day because of an injury to his groin and hip area, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Huddle Up: McCoy probably will not play in any more preseason game but will have time to recover before the start of the season. McCoy should continue to receive a lot of touches in the Bills offense and probably can be considered a No. 1 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Posted: 8/20/2018 12:49pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (groin) did not participate in practice Monday, Aug. 20, because of a sore groin.

Huddle Up: McCoy probably will be back on the field later in the week and will be a focal point for the Bills offense this season. McCoy should be considered a low-end No. 1 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Posted: 8/17/2018 7:49pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed four times for 11 yards and lost a yard on his only reception in a 19-17 preseason win over the Cleveland Browns Friday, Aug. 17.

Huddle Up: McCoy is locked into an every-down role for Buffalo, but some allegations off the field make his future cloudy. He's a RB1 if he plays the entire season, but he will be one of the riskier picks of the first few rounds.

Posted: 8/10/2018 6:31pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy looks 'quicker, faster and more powerful than last year,' according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Huddle Up: As an every-down workhorse in a run-heavy offense, McCoy looks like a RB1 on paper. However, some potential issues off the field loom large, clouding his fantasy value and making him one of the riskiest picks of the early rounds.

Posted: 7/23/2018 9:29am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy will report training camp with the rest of the veteran players Wednesday, July 25, even though he is dealing with some off-field issues, according to sources.

Huddle Up: Owners will need to keep an eye on the situation to see if McCoy's status changes at all during the preseason. He has been a consistent option for owners over the years and can be a No. 1 or No. 2 running back again this season.

Posted: 7/10/2018 11:22am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy has been accused of beating a woman, her son and a dog and for using performance-enhancing drugs. The claims were made against McCoy Tuesday, July 10, but McCoy quickly denied them in a statement on his Instagram account. 'For the record, the totally baseless and offensive claims made against me today on social media are completely false,' McCoy stated. 'Furthermore, I have not had any direct contact with any people involved in months.' The Bills are investigating the alleged incident.

Huddle Up: If true, McCoy's football career could be all but over, and whether or not this is resolved before the regular season remains to be seen. He was already a risky fantasy pick considering his age, workloads over the years and the fact that defenses will be honed in on him given Buffalo's weak supporting cast. If vindicated, McCoy is a low-end RB1 to high-end RB2 option, but the latter is more realistic.

Posted: 7/7/2018 6:23pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy is the best running back in the NFL, according to Miami Dolphins RB Frank Gore.

Huddle Up: McCoy remains an every-down back in a run-heavy offense. Age isn't on his side, but there is no reason to think he can't provide RB1 production again in 2018. Grab him in the first two rounds.

Posted: 5/29/2018 8:44pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy was tackled behind the line of scrimmage 55 times in 287 carries last season, far and away the most in the league.

Huddle Up: While McCoy does his fair share of dancing in the backfield, he cannot be held solely responsible for being stuffed on nearly 20 percent of his carries. Things may be on the verge of getting worse, as left tackle Cordy Glenn was traded and center Eric Wood was forced to retire. It's a far from ideal scenario for McCoy, who will turn 30 this summer. He's going to be a risky RB1 in fantasy.

Posted: 5/24/2018 12:04pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (illness) was limited during organized team activities Thursday, May 24, because of an illness.

Huddle Up: McCoy will continue to be a main focus on offense this upcoming season and should be one of the league leaders in touches. He can be a No. 1 running back in all fantasy leagues and will be selected in one of the first two rounds of drafts.

Posted: 3/2/2018 8:04pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy will be a 'big part' of the offense in 2018, according to general manager Brandon Beane.

Huddle Up: McCoy finished in the top five in the NFL in rushing last year and added 59 catches. In Buffalo's run-heavy attack, he should be able to deliver another year of RB1 production, especially in PPR formats.

Posted: 2/12/2018 1:31pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy saw a career-low in percentage of carries from the shotgun formation last season (17%). Interestingly, that percentage has decreased in each of his last five years. Furthermore, his yards per carry and yards after contact were also the lowest of his nine-year career.

Huddle Up: McCoy will turn 30 years old this offseason, and while he's still putting up respectable numbers, he may be over the proverbial running back hill. He will remain featured in the Bills' offense, of course; Buffalo doesn't even know who its starting quarterback will be next season. As of now, McCoy stands in low-end RB1 territory with increased value in PPR formats.

Posted: 2/2/2018 6:50am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy was a trade target of the Philadelphia Eagles through back-channel intermediaries, according to sources. The Eagles offered a package of players that included then-Eagles WR Jordan Matthews.

Huddle Up: Turning 29 didn't hurt Shady from a counting perspective as he put forth 1,138 rushing yards, six rushing scores and a 59-448-2 line through the air. His 4.0 yards-per-carry average was the lowest of his career, though. There was a lot of changes and turnover on the entire offense, and he performed well despite it. He'll be 30 next season, and the upside will diminish, but McCoy remains an RB1 in fantasy.

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed for 75 yards on 19 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card playoff game Sunday, Jan. 7. He also caught six passes for 44 yards during the game.

Huddle Up: McCoy should be one of the top running backs in fantasy drafts next season and likely will be a first-round pick in most leagues.

Posted: 1/7/2018 8:42am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) is officially active for the Wild Card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Huddle Up: McCoy likely will receive his normal workload despite his ankle injury. He is a bit of a risky option because of the injury but should be a starter in all fantasy leagues.

Posted: 1/6/2018 5:27pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) is expected to play in the Wild Card playoff game even though he is listed as questionable for the game, according to a source.

Huddle Up: McCoy likely will receive a big workload against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite the injury. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Posted: 1/5/2018 7:23am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice Friday, Jan. 5.

Huddle Up: Shady is expected to lace them up this weekend, but he's not going to be 100 percent. He'll be an RB2 option against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Posted: 1/4/2018 12:00pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) said he wants to be able to cut well enough while running without feeling pain. 'The type of game like this, you got to lay it all on the line,' McCoy said. 'If I can't get [to] 100%, as long as I'm out there, and I can work effective enough, I'll do it. We'll just see.'

Huddle Up: Not having McCoy would be a dagger to the Bills in their road playoff tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The running game is the one area in which the Jaguars are vulnerable. Keep tabs on McCoy over the next couple of days. If he can't go or is limited then Mike Tolbert would see the bulk of backfield work.

Posted: 1/4/2018 8:46am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) stretched with the team in practice Thursday, Jan. 4, but he left for the training room afterwards.

Huddle Up: Unless he aggravated something, McCoy should be out there this weekend. However, he could be hobbled, and that drops him to an RB2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Posted: 1/3/2018 6:48am ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Jan. 3, and he's day to day, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Huddle Up: McCoy should gut it out Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but there is a lot of risk involved due to potential limitations. He's an RB2 in playoff formats.

Posted: 1/2/2018 8:40am ET

Updating previous reports, Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision and a 'close call' to play in the Wild Card game Sunday, Jan. 7.

Huddle Up: Shady is a gamer, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him try to play. However, everything lends to him being limited and not close to 100 percent. He's still an RB2 in playoff leagues, but there is a lot more risk involved than reward.

Posted: 1/1/2018 5:04pm ET

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) underwent X-rays on his injured ankle, but they came back negative. Head coach Sean McDermott said he hopes McCoy will be able to play in the Wild Card playoff game.

Huddle Up: Owners will need to monitor McCoy's practice participation this week to have a better idea of his status for the playoff game. He is a starting fantasy option when healthy, but owners may want to lower expectations because of the injury.
