We've been searching for an answer to the Kansas City backfield all fantasy season. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, the draft-capital pick, hasn't worked out. Isiah Pacheco, the surprise rookie, has given us moments. But maybe the right answer all along was the old guy in the group, the journeyman, the man forgotten about — 30-year-old Jerick McKinnon.
in Sunday's surprisingly competitive overtime win at Houston. McKinnon's 26-yard touchdown run ended the game and pushed McKinnon to the top of the Week 15 running back board. He finished the day with 52 rushing yards and that score, eight catches for 70 yards and another score and, just for fun, a two-point conversion catch mixed in.We often think of rookies as late-developing Polaroids in a fantasy season, but McKinnon fits that frame, too.
One of the fumbles came from McKinnon’s running mate in the backfield, Pacheco. Otherwise, Pacheco looked fine — 15-86-0 rushing and one catch for 11 yards. The Chiefs seem reluctant to involve him much in the hurry-up or third-down package. It didn’t seem like Reid put Pacheco in fumble jail after the rookie’s miscue, either.
