Jerick McKinnon Barely Involved In Win Over Broncos

Jerick McKinnon Barely Involved In Win Over Broncos

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon once again did very little in the 19-8 win over the division-rival Denver Broncos on Thursday night in a game in which Kansas City's offense only found the end zone one time. McKinnon didn't see a single carry and caught three of his five targets for 20 yards. It was the first time that the 31-year-old pass-catching back didn't have a rushing attempt since the season opener, but he also tied a season-high with his three receptions. He's really only had one fantasy relevant game, back in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears where he scored two touchdowns on three catches for 19 yards. McKinnon has become a desperation, touchdown-dependent pass-catching flex option in deep leagues.
