Start Jerick McKinnon As A Low-End RB2 In Week 3
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon is the last man standing in the team's backfield with Raheem Mostert (knee) doubtful and Tevin Coleman (knee) out for Week 3 against the New York Giants. McKinnon will be the team's lead running back in the game with Jeff Wilson Jr. and JaMycal Hasty as backups. McKinnon scored touchdowns in both of the team's first two games, despite seeing limited touches alongside Mostert and Coleman. He only has six carries and three receptions on the year. This week, McKinnon should easily see double-digit touches, including at least five targets in the passing game, which gives him solid potential as a low-end RB2 or high-end flex.
