The Facts:
McCoy, who won his second game on Sunday when the Browns (3-5) thrashed the Patriots 34-14. HC Eric Mangini, though, was not ready to name McCoy his starter for this Sunday’s game against the New York Jets (6-2). “He’s making the discussion harder and harder each week,” Mangini said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
McCoy, thrust into the starting lineup because of injuries to Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace, is 2-1 in three starts with his wins coming over Drew Brees and Tom Brady, two of the NFL’s top QBs. Still, Mangini wants to wait to see what kind of progress Wallace and Delhomme have made before he has a thorough analysis on McCoy’s role for the remainder of the season. He plans to meet with OC Brian Daboll and team president Mike Holmgren before announcing his decision. We expect McCoy to keep the job even when the veterans return, but will obviously follow up either way.
