Bills' LeSean McCoy: Strikes thrice against 49ers

M,cCoy (knee) racked up 140 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries in Sunday's win over San Francisco, adding two catches for two yards. He fumbled once during the game.

Analysis:

Shady McCoy slashed through San Francisco's defense and was an inadvertent bump from teammate Robert Woods away from a fourth score. McCoy scored on an option play and as the quarterback in a Wildcat formation in the first half, before leaving the game temporarily with a knee injury. He returned to the game and was healthy enough to complete the hat trick with a 18-yard scamper for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. McCoy was extra motivated with his former head coach, Chip Kelly on the sideline for the 49ers, but it's his new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn that should get fantasy owners excited. After averaging 80 total yards and 0.5 touchdowns in the season's opening two games under former coordinator Greg Roman, McCoy has averaged 131 yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game under Lynn, topping the century mark in scrimmage yards in all four contests.
