What It Means:

This is a tricky situation and there's no way to know how it will play out. McCoy is best viewed as a boom-or-bust Week 7 fantasy start. His tough-to-predict usage and performance will affect Mike Gillislee's workload, but at least third-string back Jonathan Williams is a healthy scratch this week. The Bills almost certainly would have activated Williams were they deeply concerned about McCoy playing some sort of role.

Projected for 64 yards from scrimmage and 0.44 total touchdowns on 13 touches, Gillislee is our 25th-best fantasy running back this week. McCoy ranks 42nd in our models for Week 7.
