FANTASY INSANITY

- By DREW LOFTIS

Back-to-back 200-yard rushing games had happened just three times in NFL history heading into the season — a list that includes Ricky Williams, O.J. Simpson and Earl Campbell. Who would have thought Jay Ajayi would be the one to join that club following his 204-yard torching of the Steelers last week with another 214 and a touchdown against the Bills on Sunday? If you snapped him off waivers last week, you might want to shop around to see if someone is willing to overpay. He should be solid the rest of the way, but if someone is willing to pay for greatness instead of just goodness, sell, sell, sell.

Jeremy Hill finally had a breakout game, racking up 168 rushing yards and a score against the Browns. Look closer and you will realize how much of an anomaly this likely was — he did so on just nine carries, including a 74-yarder. You can’t expect that kind of efficiency every week, but you can expect something close to that kind of workload. Don’t buy into a resurgence just yet.

First, it was reported Friday that LeSean McCoy would be out Sunday. Later, he was just questionab­le and a game-time decision. Shortly before kickoff, he reportedly was a “full go.” Almost immediatel­y, another report suggesting he didn’t look good in pregame workouts. Then he played, only to be sidelined when his hamstring started bothering him again — but not soon enough to save Mike Gillislee’s fantasy potential. Grab Gillislee if he’s on waivers. Just guessing, but would wager Rex Ryan will be more cautious with McCoy next time around.
