Jerick McKinnon May Not Be Bell-Cow Running Back
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon, who is being hyped up in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, may not be a bell-cow running back, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Dan Graziano. Backup Matt Breida should still have a role, and there could be some weeks where Breida is the early-down back over McKinnon. The hype is causing McKinnon's ADP to rise daily, which means he's entering that zone where he could become a bust in fantasy. Reaching for him early in drafts might be acceptable in PPR leagues, but be careful not to overvalue him too much.
