LeSean McCoy, Eagles – Ran for 77 yards and 2 TDs and caught 4 passes for 73 yards.
Chris Johnson, Titans – Rushed for 86 yards and 2 TDs, mostly in the first half.  Too bad he took the second half off.

Bengals – Accumulated 4 sacks, 3 INTs, a fumble recovery and 3 TDs on an INT return, fumble return and blocked punt.

  2. I have a similar issue with Vereen. In a .5 PPR league with Lynch & McCoy on a bye do you like Vereen or Chris Ivory?
