Jerick McKinnon Seeks To Gain Momentum In Plus Draw

Jerick McKinnon Seeks To Gain Momentum In Plus Draw

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon remained without a meaningful role in Week 2, scraping up three catches for 28 yards in a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 31-year-old will look to recapture some semblance of his 2022 late-season magic in Week 3 versus the Chicago Bears, who have witnessed fellow pass-catching tailbacks Aaron Jones and Rachaad White combine for a 7/116/1 receiving line out of the backfield during the season's initial two outings. McKinnon could be pushed into a larger role if Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is out or limited in this one, ultimately setting him up along the RB3/4 boundary ahead of Sunday's affair. McKinnon will be difficult to trust if Pacheco is active, but the matchup is close to ideal for fantasy managers needing a stopgap solution in PPR-heavy formats.
