LeSean McCoy is off to a slow start this season, which has been an incredible source of frustration for fantasy football owners. McCoy was the first overall pick in many leagues, and the fumble he coughed up against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday was enough to make owners want to smash their TV sets.
McCoy caught a screen pass in the second half that was well covered, so he tried to improvise by running east to west. He held the ball like a loaf of bread, which has been a bad habit for McCoy throughout his career. This time it cost him, as the ball was knocked away and the Rams recovered.
Fortunately for McCoy, the Eagles had a comfortable lead for most of the afternoon. Still, the loss of yards and awful fumble was a microcosm for what has been a painfully slow start.
