How will the Philadelphia Eagles do this season?
Asked in: Alex Henery, Brent Celek, DeSean Jackson, Dion Lewis, Jason Avant, Jeremy Maclin, Kevin Kolb, Lesean McCoy, Michael Vick, Philadelphia D/ST, Riley Cooper, Vince Young
Eagles should fly to 12 wins. They're going to be a tough team to stop, even if Vick goes down. People forget how good Vince Young is.
Who is a better draft pick: Chris Johnson or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles
Chris Johnson. McCoy is getting there but he doesn't have the ridiculous speed that Johnson has.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles
I like McFadden because it's pretty obvious that the Raiders are making commitment to both him and the run game as a whole. Looking at last season's game log, it's pretty clear that DMC was an 18-20 carry/game type of player, plus receptions, whereas McCoy is more of a 12-15 carry/game type of player. This is not a negligible difference, as I believe a healthy DMC will get 50 more carries (not touches) over the course of an entire season (say maybe 225 for LeSean, 275 for McFadden). Plus, it also bothers me about McCoy that so much of his production came via dumpoffs, which is nice, but is not something that is a good bet to be repeated.
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Lesean McCoy?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Lesean McCoy, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles
I like McCoy (especially in PPR) but there is slight concern with Ronnie Brown in Philadelphia. You pretty much know what you're going to get with Mendenhall.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Michael Turner?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Michael Turner, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons
McCoy for sure in a PPR league but in a normal one I'd have to go with Turner. He'll score more than McCoy does.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears
Forte, but they are similar players. I would take anyone in the high-flying Eagles offense.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens
Hands down Ray Rice. I don't even think we need to discuss why.

Who is a more exciting player: Lesean McCoy or Ray Rice?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Ray Rice, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens
I would say McCoy is more exciting, but Ray Rice is the better player right now
Are you worried about Vick after the Steelers game?
Asked in: Philadelphia Eagles, DeSean Jackson, Lesean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, Michael Vick
No! Everyone has a bad game sooner or later. Im just happy it came in the preseason and not when it counts.
Is there any reason not to drop Thomas Jones? (non-ppr)
Asked in: Thomas Jones, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Lesean McCoy, Mike Tolbert, Arian Foster, Danny Woodhead, Larry Fitzgerald, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward, Michael Crabtree, Nate Burleson, Ricky Williams, Dexter McCluster, Jordy Nelson
There is no reason not to drop him. I was forced to drop him last week after the Manning injury. I would pick up Jordy to secure your WR as your RBs are already pretty stacked.
Can with the Eagles win without Vick?
Asked in: Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles, Lesean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson
As we saw last night, Mike Kafka can play in the NFL. He went 7-9 for 72 yards in an attempt to lead the Eagles back against the Falcons. Had it not been for Maclin dropping a perfect pass on fourth down, Kafka could have completed the comeback. Also, don't forget about Vince Young, whom Andy Reid says is at "almost 100%". The Eagles have not yet named a starter, but they have a pro-bowler in Young and a blossoming talent in Kafka. This is all assuming Vick doesn't start, which is only speculation at this point.
Do you recommend playing on ESPN or Yahoo?
Asked in: Michael Vick, Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Lesean McCoy
I prefer Yahoo just because that's what I'm used to. I find that managing my lineup and adding/dropping players is easier. I think ESPN's content (projections/articles) are more valuable though.
Play McCluster at RB or WR? 2 rb 3wr
Asked in: Dexter McCluster, Mike Tolbert, Matt Forte, Lesean McCoy
How many players can you start at each position? I would rank your RBs as follows: McCoy, Forte, Tolbert (depending on extent of injury), McCluster. Your WRs ranked, with McCluster: Wallace, Boldin, Manningham (if cleared to play), McCluster. Wait on Manningham's status, otherwise McCluster is your 4th best option for both WR and RB.
Fair trade? C. Newton and V. Jackson for L. McCoy and D. Bryant
Asked in: Cam Newton, Vincent Jackson, Lesean McCoy, Dez Bryant
Depends on if u need a RB here.. Vjax is definitely the better WR in this trade.. and Newton will probably run for the same yardage as McCoy.. Even though I'm not sold on Newton yet I wouldn't take this trade unless u need a top RB
Should I pick up Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bush, or a possible up-and-comer like Kendall Hunter?
Asked in: Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bush, Kendall Hunter, Lesean McCoy, Jahvid Best, Jonathan Stewart, Pierre Thomas
Who to drop to make room for a kicker?
Asked in: Knowshon Moreno, Lance Moore, Percy Harvin, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Steve Smith (CAR), Nate Washington, Dwayne Bowe, Jeremy Maclin, Lesean McCoy, Fred Jackson
You're probably getting 0 production out of Knowshon. Everyone else might have at least put up some points this season?
Trade McCoy for Matthews?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Ryan Mathews, Josh Freeman, Sam Bradford
That depends on who is left at QB on the wires for you. Shady is sick so far this year. and as long as Vick struggles Shady will shine! But if there is no on e left at Qb on wire this isn't a bad trade. I like Decker and Mathews. but you should ask for someone else when it comes to Tolbert. You won't need both he and Mathews
PPR League with Bye issues this week. Have LeSean McCoy, Green-Ellis, Isaac Redman, Smith, Pierre Garcon, Tolbert, Denarius Moore
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Isaac Redman, Steve Smith (CAR), Pierre Garcon, Mike Tolbert, Denarius Moore
Trade Brady for Lesean McCoy or Forte?
Asked in: Tom Brady, Lesean McCoy, Matt Forte, Cam Newton
those would both be good pick ups! Brady does have a harder schedule than Cam overall, but last few games in season Brady wins on match-ups
Which RB to start for 2nd RB spot in Wk 6 with LeSean McCoy ? Green-Ellis, Tolbert, Redman or Delone Carter?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Mike Tolbert, Isaac Redman, Delone Carter
I like Lawfirm, big time. Make sure you answer a few questions for every one you ask!
LeSean McCoy replacement for week 7: Ryan Mathews or Jackie Battle?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Ryan Mathews
Which two should I start - Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles or DeMarco Murray?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles, DeMarco Murray
Agreed...McCoy and Sproles are solid options. It would be nice to see Murray in a flex spot if you have one, unless you've got a great WR there already, I think he has at least some great short-term value at least.
I need help with who to start in my PPR league (which 2-3 combo of WR's and RB's including Flex). Thanks
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, DeMarco Murray, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Miles Austin, Steve Smith (CAR), Mike Tolbert, Jabar Gaffney, Pierre Garcon, Demaryius Thomas
McCoy, Murray, Law Firm (if he plays), Miles Austin, Steve Smith (my next pick would be Tolbert then Gaffney, then Garcon)
Pick Two: Sproles vs STL, McCoy vs DAL, or Fred Jackson vs WAS
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Fred Jackson, Lesean McCoy
That's awesome that you have all those guys. Has Fred Jackson had a disappointing outing this season? I'd go him and LeSean. My personal feeling is that the Eagles come out fired up, and Lesean's been beast all season.
I have been offered Aaron Rodgers and Cedric Benson for L. McCoy and Eli Manning. They all start weekly, none are backups or flex. Standard league. Should I do it?
Asked in: Aaron Rodgers, Lesean McCoy, Eli Manning, Cedric Benson
If you feel comfortable with your other RB's, that is not a bad trade. Rodgers is very dependable for scoring points and Benson should be the primary back. Only down side is if your league runs through week 16 or 17 of the season because Rogers could be on the bench for rest.
HELP! Which 3-2 combo of WRs and RBs for Week 9? Will play McCoy, and probably Austin and Garcon, but which RB/WR after that? BJE got zero last week and 7 the week before the Bye.
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, DeMarco Murray, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Mike Tolbert, Michael Crabtree, Miles Austin, Pierre Garcon, Pierre Garcon
Planning to start 3 RBs (McCoy, Murray and Tolbert) so which WR besides Steve Smith (CAR) in PPR league - Garcon or Crabtree? Garcon has been a recommended start each week but then inconsistent! 6 pts in Week 7, then 13, and 5 pts last week! Have Gaffney too but assume the other 2 would start befo
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, DeMarco Murray, Mike Tolbert, Steve Smith (CAR), Pierre Garcon, Michael Crabtree, Laurent Robinson
ooh tough choices, But I would say Garcon and Crabtree are your other options to go with in a ppr league!
Should I do this trade?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Fred Jackson, Steve Smith (CAR), Greg Jennings, Wes Welker, Marques Colston, Calvin Johnson, DeMarco Murray, Frank Gore, Arian Foster
So this is a 2-person league? How did you get all these guys? I don't know why you are giving up so much for Shady when Fred Jackson has been so solid. I would rather keep Jennings and play him instead of unpredicatable Colston. Plus I am worried that McCoy's success could wane if the Eagle's passing game suffers with Vick and Maclin injured, and defenses focus on the run more. Vick's mobility threat seems to open holes for McCoy.I would ask for more in the trade.
If McCoy doesn't play tonight, who should I play? Crabtree, Riley Cooper, Garcon, Tolbert or Torrey Smith? Garcon has been so so inconsistent, and most say to bench Tolbert and Torrey Smith. That leaves Crabtree or the newly hot Riley Cooper. Help as McCoy is a game time decision TONIGHT!!
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Michael Crabtree, Riley Cooper, Pierre Garcon, Mike Tolbert, Torrey Smith
I'm pretty sure McCoy is playing, But against the Rams Crabtree would be next viable option.
How would you play my lineup?
Asked in: Tony Romo, Michael Vick, Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Miles Austin, Lesean McCoy, Reggie Bush, C.J. Spiller, Kevin Smith, Ahmad Bradshaw, Antonio Gates, Jermichael Finley
QB: Romo: hard to bench after latest performancesWRs: Calvin, A.J. Green, AustinRBs: McCoy, Reggie Bush: McCoy and Bush are money right nowTE: FinleyFlex: Spiller
