Heading into the 2014 NFL season, LeSean McCoy was the darling of the fantasy football world. Being picked first in most drafts, McCoy’s fantasy prospects were through the roof heading into his second year under Chip Kelly’s leadership. In 2013, McCoy ran for over 1,600 yards, while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also added 52 receptions for another 539 yards on his way to leading the league in yards from scrimmage.
However, by the time last season ended, many owners who had drafted McCoy with their first pick were left with a bad taste in their mouths.
