LeSean McCoy Value

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

With BUF firing Greg Roman, I feel like LeSean McCoy's touches and production are both going to be trending downward. What's the market for him look like as of today? Would you sell for a 2017 2nd? What about selling McCoy for a rising prospect like Willie Snead or Tevin Coleman?

selling him for a 2nd would seem like a huge over reaction to me

why do you assume his value will trend downward?

[Oddball456]

The Bills offense as a whole has been back this year. As a Shady owner, I am glad for any changes which give him more chances to score.

I'm not saying that I'd sell McCoy for a 2nd. I'm asking at what price owners would be willing to acquire him, and at what price owners would be willing to sell him.

why do you assume his value will trend downward?

I just see things trending downward for BUF in general. Coaching turnover is rarely a good change for a team, and Sammy Watkins looks to be struggling with this foot issue, which limits the entire offense. McCoy is still a pretty decent RB2 in PPR, but I'm not expecting many big weeks out of him.

90 yards against a really good Jets D Line and we're worried about Shady? Even if the bills suck, they're going to feed Shady. He's younger than you'd think too.

If I was contending, I'd trade my late 2017 1st for him.

rex wants to run more not less.

[maxhyde]

Well I am not sure he wants to run more but he would like their run game to be better. Opening up the passing game will make McCoy more effective when teams can't load up on the run.

I would be more likely to buy McCoy than sell right now. I would probably trade a hype player after week 1 like Hyde/CJA and go for Shady+

Just thought I'd bump this thread because of the news out of Buffalo with Gillislee. McCoy owners are well aware that Gillislee was a vulture last year, McCoy still managed to score 14 TDs (1 receiving). McCoy helped me win my first 'ship last year, I think he's a great player for win-now teams. What value do you guys put on him now? Workhorse RBs are scarce, Shady still has at least 1-2 more elite seasons left in him. Elite being 1000+ rushing yards, 8+ TDs, 45 receptions, 300 rec yards.

[BuckeyeNation]

I'd give a late 1st for him. He's always been productive, but he's now a 29yo RB with about 1900 carries, roughly 2200 overall touches, and tends to get banged up a bit. He's still a great RB for contenders, but I think last season's production will leave most owners wanting more in return for him than many buyers will want to pay.

[Adrian_Charlie]

I asked around and even contenders aren't interested in him. If an RB isn't 23, most of my leaguemates aren't interested. guess that's why I got DeMarco and Shady for so cheap in our startup draft. Worked out for me

[Pac_Eddy]

Shady finally had a season of relative health & he can still produce. I'd definitely shop him as I don't think he can be healthy again, but I also don't expect to be paid what he's worth.

If I was buying, I'd give a late first. If I was selling, I'd want a bit more, like a prospect to go with that draft pick.

[IBall2]

A month ago someone in my league traded McCoy and Pryor for Corey Coleman.

I'm definitely putting out the for sale sign. Don't know what kinda price I will put on him but I will probably try to package him with DT or Alshon for young stud receiver
