Jerick McKinnon News
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon went through a stretch of six consecutive games with a touchdown reception to end the regular season, but he hasn't found the end zone in the team's two playoff games. In the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals, McKinnon finished with just 18 all-purpose yards. His usage during the season suggests that he has fantasy upside on Sunday because of his ability to find the end zone, but the past two games have shown just how low McKinnon's floor is. Consider him a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust option on Super Bowl Sunday.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon was held in check in the 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship on Sunday. McKinnon carried the ball only four times for one yard and caught two of his four targets for 17 yards through the air. The 30-year-old also recovered a fumble in the contest. It was a disappointing performance for McKinnon, especially with receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) all getting hurt during the game. In the Chiefs' two playoff games, McKinnon has only 15 carries for 26 yards and two catches for 17 yards. There's a chance his workload could be reduced even further, too, if Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) comes off Injured Reserve to play in the Super Bowl in two weeks.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon didn't score a touchdown last week against the Jaguars in the Divisional Round, which is notable because McKinnon entered that game with a streak of six consecutive games with at least one touchdown, with at least one of those in each game being a receiving score. McKinnon actually wasn't targeted in the passing game last week, but he did see 11 touches in the run game. McKinnon hasn't really been producing on the ground, but his usage patterns over the last couple of months suggest that he's a good bet to find the end zone on a short reception against the Bengals on Sunday. McKinnon did find the end zone when these teams met in the regular season.
