BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Attempting to forecast the workloads within Kansas City’s backfield had become a laborious task throughout much of the regular season. However, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s descent from the equation has provided clarity, as Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco have commandeered the touches that Andy Reid is allocating within Kansas City’s rotation.
The Chiefs' decision to sign Melvin Gordon did not impact the usage of McKinnon when Kansas City visited Cincinnati in Week 13, as he accumulated eight rushing attempts – which tied his season-high. McKinnon also eclipsed 50 rushing yards for the second time this season (51).
McKinnon was second among all backs with 23 targets from Weeks 9-12, while averaging 5.8 per game. He was limited to two targets from Patrick Mahomes against the Bengals. But this does not diminish his importance as the Chiefs’ primary pass-catching back.
McKinnon also leads Kansas City’s backfield with a 43% snap share, which has risen to 46% during his last eight contests. He remains attainable in over 60% of all leagues and can be secured as a flex option to help you navigate a nightmarish bye week and any crucial matchups that you will soon encounter.
