The Facts: The pressing question: Will Chip Kelly lighten McCoy’s workload? The answer, as I see it, is no. McCoy often mentions how his running style lends itself to fewer big hits, and the numbers suggest there could be something to that. In the Eagles' final four regular season games, he piled up 519 yards and averaged 6.3 YPC. In the fourth quarters of games, he led the NFL with 441 yards and averaged 6.0 YPC, according to STATS, Inc. In other words, there were no signs that his production took a hit because of the heavy workload.

Diehards Line: So wrote PhillyMag.com's Sheil Kapadia, who went on to remind readers that on his way to setting the franchise record for rushing yards, McCoy led the NFL in carries (314) and touches (366) last season. Only Chicago's Matt Forte played more snaps. The Eagles added Darren Sproles in the offseason. But that doesn't mean they're looking to lighten McCoy's workload. McCoy is only 26 years old and the focal point of the Eagles' offense. Given that, Kapadia believes matching last year's number of touches would be no surprise. "Assuming (good) health," Kapadia wrote, "he's as close to a lock as there is to finish as one of the top three rushers in the NFL." And fantasy football owners will have to draft him as such.
