KC RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Tennessee Titans

Jerick McKinnon had a decent role last week in backup duty, although he wasn't terribly productive. He ran three times for 10 yards and caught one pass for five yards, but he matched starter Darrel Williams with four targets. He also played a healthy 28% of the offensive snaps. Still, he had just four touches for 15 yards a week ago, so it's hard to trust him as a fantasy option. He should remain on waivers.

KC RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Washington Football Team

Jerick McKinnon had a decent role in the Chiefs offense after Clyde Edwards-Helaire's injury last week, at least in terms of playing time. He saw 27 snaps (31%), which is just 10 fewer than Darrel Williams. But McKinnon had just three touches (1 carry, 2 receptions) in those 27 snaps. It's hard to trust McKinnon as a fantasy option given how few touches he had in that first game. Darrel Williams will be the back to own in Kansas City unless we see something different this week. It's worth keeping an eye on McKinnon's usage, but he shouldn't be played this week.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Jerick McKinnon still gets some touches, but he’s clearly taken a back seat to Jeff Wilson. There’s no reason to expect that to change in the final game of the season, and fantasy owners should leave him on waivers in all league formats.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Buffalo Bills

Jerick McKinnon was reduced to just 25% of the snaps last week against the Rams with Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson back in the lineup. He’ll continue to see complementary work, but he should go back to fantasy benches while Mostert is healthy. His five touches, including a pair of receptions, and 32 yards last week are probably going to be the norm for him unless Mostert gets hurt again.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Los Angeles Rams

Jerick McKinnon got a full workload against the Saints before the bye last week, getting 18 carries and one reception on three targets. Unfortunately, he wound up with just 46 combined yards from scrimmage. This week, McKinnon faces a Rams defense that ranks sixth in aFPA to opposing running backs, and Raheem Mostert is supposed to return to action. Assuming Mostert is active as expected, McKinnon goes back to being a handcuff, too risky to start. If Mostert is a surprise inactive, then consider McKinnon a fringe-RB2 option.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at New Orleans Saints

Jerick McKinnon returned to a prominent role last week against the Packers amidst a barrage of injuries for the 49ers, rushing 12 times for 52 yards and a touchdown. He also added 16 yards on three receptions.

This week, McKinnon has a tough matchup against the Saints, who rank number one in the league in aFPA to opposing running backs. Watch the inactives report and the practice participation as the week goes on. If Jeff Wilson is still out and Raheem Mostert is still not practicing, McKinnon could be in for another dozen touches, which should put him in line for low-end RB2 numbers, even in a tough matchup. If either Wilson or Mostert winds up active, I wouldn’t trust McKinnon to get enough touches to be worth starting.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Green Bay Packers

Jerick McKinnon had four catches for 40 yards last week against the Seahawks, but he had just three carries on the ground – although he scored a rushing touchdown – working behind JaMycal Hasty who received 12 carries. McKinnon is likely to continue to be used as a versatile weapon more than as a workhorse back, making his fantasy value hard to count on. Kyle Shanahan may ride the hot hand, so there’s potential for McKinnon to do well if he gets going. That being said, assuming he’s going to do it in any given week is risky. Against the Packers, he’s a low-end RB2 with high risk/reward variance and upside given the continued absence of Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman.
