Editor’s update: McCoy has been ruled OUT for Week 8.

The Buffalo Bills are listing LeSean McCoy as doubtful to face the New England Patriots in Week 8.

McCoy continues to deal with a hamstring injury that popped up in practice last week. It was initially not enough to keep him from playing in Week 8, but he re-injured it to the point he will likely not suit up this Sunday.

McCoy had been the bell-cow back for the Bills this season and is a big reason why Buffalo is 4-3 and in the thick of the playoff race. He ranks fourth in the NFL with 598 rushing yards to go with seven total touchdowns.

The Bills host the Patriots before facing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, then get a much-needed bye in Week 10. You should plan on McCoy not returning before the bye.

Fantasy Impact: Assuming that McCoy is inactive on Sunday, expect backup Mike Gillislee to get the bulk of the touches vs. New England. Reggie Bush should also have an expanded role, though neither has done much this season.
