LeSean McCoy- In a League of His Own?

Per ProFootballFocus,
LeSean McCoy has forced 17 missed tackles through two games.
It's an absurd rate. As PFF notes, McCoy is on pace to force 136 missed tackles this season. Adrian Peterson led the league in that category in 2012 with just 73. McCoy, who is drawing more and more fair comparisons to Barry Sanders weekly, is the best juker and cutter in the game today. He's fantasy's No. 1 running back through two weeks and has an excellent chance to stay in that spot all year long.


That's some lofty praise right there.

I picked 4th in FFPC and after the expected run of ADP, Martin and Charles, I had a tough decision and still hadn't made it on draft day. I rolled with McCoy over Richardson or Calvin and after watching him run, it was a good decision. He looks great in that offense.

yea he is looking really good in that offense. Good call E. I would have taken McCoy over Calvin but might have chosen Richardson over McCoy. Glad I never had to make that decision.Got him at a steal on14th pick in SUDDFL
 

Deacon

Bacon=greatest of all!
I have been high on McCoy since early this summer (no duh). With his elusiveness combined with the probability of having much more opportunity to get the ball in open field circumstances in this offense I knew he would be huge.

Still for the life of me can't understand why others in this forum don't see that.

Some do Deacon, some don't. I think the dos outweigh the don'ts. Plus the svcalse is tipping more and more as the fantasy points add up. :)

That's some serious value at 14 overall. I got him 10 in my local league. Guess a lot of people weren't convinced the new offense would fly until they saw it.

Yep! The opponent doesn't seem to matter at this point. He's going to get the ball a lot, and will eventually get free. He's doing all of this without even being involved in the passing game

He looks amazing. Too bad Vick sucks so bad and doesn't know how to set up or throw a screen pass. Alex Smith is a no talent but smart enough to get Charles the ball 7 times in the passing game.
