MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Green Bay Packers

Latavius Murray started the game for Minnesota last week, but Jerick McKinnon emerged as the star. McKinnon led the team in carries with 16 and finished with 95 yards and a touchdown, highlighted by a 58-yard carry. He also added a lot in PPR formats with 6 receptions for 51 yards.

Considering McKinnon well out-played Murray last week, we expect him to get more touches moving forward, especially in the passing game. He gets a decent matchup this week against the Packers as Green Bay is allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game in the league.

McKinnon should be viewed as a high-end RB2 play this week.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Chicago Bears

Jerick McKinnon hasn't been used much—only 18 touches this season, but that's actually not too bad for a third-string back. He'll get more playing time this week and in the future with Dalvin Cook out for the season. Right now, it's expected Latavius Murray will handle most of the rushing duties while McKinnon comes in on third down or passing plays.

McKinnon is dealing with an ankle injury, but he should be fine to go for Monday night where he gets a somewhat difficult matchup against the Bears. Considering McKinnon is more of a receiving back, it doesn't bode well for him that Chicago is just one of four teams to hold running backs under 100 yards receiving so far this season.

McKinnon could have some value in the future, but this week he should be viewed as a low-end flex play. He could carry some extra value in PPR formats.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The game script worked for Jerick McKinnon last week, but he still didn't have a big impact. He saw 5 targets, but only caught 3 passes for 9 yards. He also added 16 yards on 3 carries. McKinnon isn't getting the ball enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Jerick McKinnon got the most touches as a backup to Dalvin Cook last week, rushing 2 times for 6 yards and catching 3 passes for 32 yards. His night was highlighted by a 25-yard reception. He's simply not involved enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Chicago
Jerick McKinnon finished with 85 total yards last week, and remains relevant in fantasy again as Adrian Peterson's return was short-lived. McKinnon has been pretty solid in PPR formats as he's finished with 5+ receptions in four straight games.

He'll get a decent matchup this week against the Bears, and should have a larger workload than most backs in Week 17. His downfall is when it comes to scoring touchdowns because Matt Asiata always vultures him, but he'll be a solid RB2 in standard with a bump in PPR formats.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Green Bay
Jerick McKinnon was highly ineffective as a rusher last week, but he played a big role as a receiver. He caught nine passes for 59 yards, meaning he was only really useful in PPR formats.

We don't expect him to have quite as many receptions moving forward, but perhaps he'll continue on as a receiving threat with Adrian Peterson back in the lineup. McKinnon will be a risky, low-end RB3 play in PPR formats.

MIN RB Jerick McKinnon - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Indianapolis
Jerick McKinnon hasn't been playing very well, but he's had three straight double-digit games in PPR formats. The biggest drawback to McKinnon (aside from the fact he's not a very good football player) is when the team gets to the goal-line, they give the ball to Matt Asiata to score.

McKinnon does get a decent matchup this week against the Colts. Indianapolis allowed a big day on the ground to Lamar Miller and the Texans last week, but McKinnon should only be viewed as a flex play in standard and a low-end RB2 in PPR.
