Worth a bump. It does sound like Westy is the starter. The running distribution is still a little bit up in the air.

Despite coach Andy Reid's introduction of a running back rotation, rookie LeSean McCoy admits Brian Westbrook will "probably get most of the action." Analysis: "My job is to back Brian up, help him out and give us a little spark when I come off the bench," said McCoy. "My role is to not get a lot of carries ... Brian needs the ball to get warmed up. He needs his touches." While the rotation may have been overstated, it's clear that Westbrook's workload will decrease. Expect 15 touches per week going forward, which is plenty for RB2 value.

Keep in mind that with Donovan McNabb back at QB Andy Reid might get so excited that the Eagles may throw 50-60 times. In this game Mc Coy might get more carries than you think trying to kill the clock on the Bucs.
