SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks

Jerick McKinnon got a surprise day of rest last week against the Patriots. The 49ers didn’t need him, as Jeff Wilson had a great game in a lopsided 49ers victory. If McKinnon gets a full workload, he’s capable of RB2 numbers in any given week, but it looks like this backfield is going to be hard to bank on while Raheem Mostert is out. Start him at your own peril if you’re desperate, but it might be wise to completely stay away from the 49ers’ run game if you have more reliable options available. While he could benefit from Wilson missing time with an ankle injury, JaMycal Hasty is still there to play spoiler with his nine carries from last week. A scary situation in the San Francisco backfield for fantasy owners.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New England Patriots

Jerick McKinnon had only 28 yards on eight touches last week - including a pair of receptions - and he shared time with JaMycal Hasty after Raheem Mostert went out with an ankle injury. That’s not a good sign for McKinnon, but there is upside with Mostert likely hitting IR for at least the short term.

Assuming McKinnon gets the start this week against the Patriots, he has a shot at RB2 numbers. There’s risk associated with him because of the work Hasty received, but McKinnon resembled a workhorse when Mostert was out earlier this season, so the upside is there.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Jerick McKinnon was relegated to spot duty last week with the return of Raheem Mostert, and wound up with just five yards on three touches – including a pair of receptions. Jeff Wilson received more touches than McKinnon, and Mostert had 14 total touches, more than all other running backs on the roster combined. Some of this could’ve been due to being in negative game script the entire afternoon, but it certainly seems as though McKinnon’s value is directly tied to Mostert’s health. With Mostert expected to be active again this week, leave McKinnon on the bench.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Jerick McKinnon had 14 carries and seven receptions for a total of 97 yards and a touchdown last week against the Eagles. He’s been a quality RB2 option this season and has earned a job, even when Raheem Mostert and/or Tevin Coleman return from injury.

The Dolphins rank 23rd in aFPA to opposing running backs this year, giving McKinnon significant upside in a nice matchup, assuming he gets a similar workload. Mostert may be back this week, so it’s possible his touches go down, but even with Mostert in the lineup, McKinnon should be worth flexing. He had six touches and a touchdown in Week 1, even with a fully healthy San Francisco backfield. If Mostert is out, consider him a fringe RB1 option.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Jerick McKinnon filled in for the injured Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman well last week, with 14 carries and three receptions for a total of 77 yards and a touchdown. He was nicked up however, and his status is in question heading into this weekend. There are a lot of ifs in San Francisco this week, with attrition liking giving value to someone on the roster.

If McKinnon is a go, he’s facing a vulnerable Eagles defense that ranks 23rd so far this year in aFPA to opposing running backs. Philadelphia has really struggled offensively, making it hard for the defense to stay off the field. The 49ers may be able to wear them down, opening up the potential for big plays down the stretch. McKinnon is a RB2 option as long as he’s healthy, with fringe RB2 ability if Mostert is a surprise active.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at New York Giants

Jerick McKinnon had a nice run toward the end of the game against the Jets last week, and wound up with 77 yards and a touchdown on just three carries. That’s not a lot of work to get excited about, but the team may be down both Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman against the Giants this week. If that’s the case, McKinnon is worth considering as an RB3/Flex option in deep leagues, given the likely increase in workload.

McKinnon is considered a potential RB2 option this week. He should get more snaps both on the ground and in the passing game, and the Giants have allowed double-digit fantasy points to the likes of David Montgomery and Benny Snell in consecutive weeks. McKinnon might see Jeff Wilson cut into his production, but his upside is considerable and worth the risk. He’s a primary waiver addition and should be active in most leagues.

SF RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New York Jets

It was good to see Jerick McKinnon return to action after such a long bout with injuries, carrying the ball three times for 24 yards, and adding 20 yards and a touchdown on three receptions. McKinnon is still definitely a change-of-pace back, and is competing with Tevin Coleman for that work behind starter Raheem Mostert, limiting his upside in any given week. Don’t expect consistent touches for anyone outside of Mostert, and McKinnon should stay on the bench, or on waivers in most leagues.
