Jerick McKinnon

Week 13 vs. Dallas
Jerick McKinnon's main contribution last week came on a 41-yard catch and run. Outside of that play, he had just 35 yards 12 touches. He also finished the game without a touchdown, and he still has just one score on the season.

McKinnon is the lead back in Minnesota, but he's been pretty awful with the ball in his hands. He's averaging three yards per carry, and isn't a major factor in the passing game. He doesn't get a good matchup this week, and will be a low-end RB3 play simply because he'll get enough touches to have some sort of production.

Week 11 vs. Arizona
Jerick McKinnon finished with the second-most touches in Minnesota's backfield last week, including three receptions on four targets. It appears Matt Asiata will get most of the carries on the ground, while McKinnon serves as a poor receiving back.

Overall, he's simply not getting enough love to warrant a start in fantasy. This week makes it even more difficult to like him due to the brutal matchup against Arizona.

Week 9 vs. Detroit
Jerick McKinnon sat out last week with injury, and is expected to return against Detroit. However, McKinnon's recent games don't inspire a ton of confidence in his ability to put up big numbers. He's been sharing the backfield with Matt Asiata, and it's led to low production.

McKinnon is a decent flex start as he'll get a decent matchup against the Lions. Detroit's been allowing an average of a little over 110 yards per game, so there will be opportunity for McKinnon.
