Running Back Rank: #38
Overall: #92
The Eagles took McCoy with a second-round pick in this year's draft, hoping to find the eventual replacement for Brian Westbrook. McCoy has the skill set to be a top back in the Eagles system. He is an elusive back with very good hands. He also has plus speed. McCoy should be a great backup to Westbrook, having similar ability. McCoy isn't very big, though, and might need to bulk up to be an every-down back. His outstanding receiving skills should get him plenty of playing time his rookie season.

| With Westbrook's injury history, McCoy has good value as a No. 3 back this season. He has good total yardage potential in a good Eagles offense. McCoy has even more value in PPR leagues. He can near 1,000 total yards and score five or so touchdowns his rookie season. |
