2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCoy is coming off his second straight Pro Bowl berth despite playing just seven games in 2024. The six-year veteran has been very reliable as the Saints' starting center since taking over the role in his 2019 rookie season. McCoy was healthy for OTAs and should be set to reprise his starting role Week 1. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $60 million contract with the Saints in September of 2022.
Officially goes to IR
New Orleans placed McCoy (biceps) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The move comes as no surprise, as it was already known McCoy would miss the remainder of the season after he tore his biceps during Sunday's game at Chicago. Luke Fortner stepped in at center for the Saints after McCoy went down in Week 7, but the team could at some point opt to slide over Cesar Ruiz if Fortner proves to be a significant downgrade.
