BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Kansas City Chiefs backfield remains a revolving door of activity, but Jerick McKinnon appears to have solidified his passing-down role in this high-powered KC offense. McKinnon hauled in six catches for 56 yards in the Chiefs' Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
With Clyde Edwards-Helaire almost completely phased out of the KC backfield, Isiah Pacheco was the clear lead back for the Chiefs in Week 10, garnering 16 carries against the Jags.
While Pacheco dominated the rushing attempts, McKinnon was the obvious alpha back in the passing game. The veteran's role was substantial, as he received eight targets against Jacksonville. He's now been targeted 19 times over KC's last three.
With his lock on the passing-game work in this high-octane offense, McKinnon is a viable fantasy target in deeper PPR leagues. His lack of rushing attempts takes him out of starting RB consideration, but fantasy GMs can feel comfortable about rolling him out at the FLEX position in Week 11 against an L.A. Chargers defense that's looked spotty against opposing running backs this season.
