Each week, Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editor Ben Fisher discuss three hot fantasy football topics.

Is the old (Eagles version) LeSean McCoy back?

Cullen: He’s not back  to peak Shady, like in 2013 he was putting up 134.1 yards per game from scrimmage, but it’s hard for any running back to match their best previous seasons. He’s putting up 108.4 yards per game this year, while averaging a career-best 5.3 yards per rush. So, he’s not quite as productive as his very best season in the league, but this year compares well with any others (he probably won’t touch the 20 touchdowns he had in 2011) and usage may be the only reason that he doesn’t go past 2,000 yards like he did in his best campaign.

Fisher: McCoy has been great, but I’m hesitant to heap too much praise on any Bills players because, you know, they’re Bills players. Buffalo has been great their past three games but that was coming after two straight losses to start the year – I still think the Bills end up losing more than they win and that will directly affect McCoy’s fantasy totals. The old Shady might be back, but he’s on a team I don’t trust to help him hit Old Shady fantasy totals.

Now that he’s back, how many QBs can Tom Brady catch in points by the end of the season?

Cullen: It’s not unreasonable to think that Brady could finish in the top 10 to 12 among quarterbacks in total fantasy points, even after missing the first four games of the season. Right now, Blake Bortles, Dak Prescott and Andy Dalton are ranked 10-12 in the points per game among quarterbacks, ranging around 16 -17 points per game. If Brady puts up about 20 points per game (he had 29 against Cleveland!), he can reel them in.

Fisher: I’m tempering my expectations for Brady a little since his outstanding 2016 debut came against the Cleveland Browns, but only a little. Brady won’t put up 30 points every week, but he averaged more than 20 per game last year and that seems like baseline for this year. It’s going to be tough for Brady to sneak into the Top 10, but if Rob Gronkowski can get healthy, and Martellus Bennett can be a law-abiding version of Aaron Hernandez, he has a shot.

Which Falcons RB finishes the year with the most points, and will it be in the Top 10?

Cullen: While Tevin Coleman holds a slight edge right now, after a 132-yard receiving day in Denver, the safer play long-term is Devonta Freeman, because he’s the one getting more touches, with a 92-63 edge through five weeks. Coleman’s still a very useful fantasy contributor, but on this team, he’s No. 2 in the backfield.

Fisher: Nothing about the Falcons’ offence this year – or last year for that matter – makes much sense to me. Matt Ryan and the passing game? Sure. But two running backs running (and catching) train over the entire league? My answer is boring, but I’m simply going with the running back who gets more touches, rushes and targets combined, and that’s Freeman (95 to 67). But since both players are stealing touches from each other, I would be surprised if either finishes in the Top 10 at running back by the end of the year.
