Jerick McKinnon Won't Play In Week 12

12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) has been ruled out for Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to head coach Andy Reid. McKinnon has been a low-upside RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues as a passing-down specialist for the Chiefs offense behind lead back Isiah Pacheco this year. The 31-year-old has three receiving touchdowns on 19 receptions in 10 games this year and has only 13 carries total. In his absence on Sunday, Pacheco could see an uptick in targets from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while No. 3 back Clyde Edwards-Helaire becomes somewhat attractive as a sleeper flex play in deep fantasy leagues against Vegas.
