After missing two entire seasons due to injury, McKinnon has played in all but four games over the past three years combined. His usage remained low in 2021 when he logged a combined 25 touches, but last season it jumped to 128: that broke down to 72 carries for 291 yards, and 56 receptions for 512 yards. While the 803 total yards were nice, it was the 10 touchdowns that was a real eye opener with nine of them coming as a receiver -- that was good enough to tie for sixth in the NFL, and it was nearly double the next-highest running back (Aaron Jones, Christian McCaffrey, and Austin Ekeler each had five).
At 31, McKinnon is long in the tooth for the position, but Reid values his veteran savvy, and Mahomes clearly trusts him as a valuable piece of the passing game. Expect McKinnon to reprise his role as the primary receiving back, which should afford him fringe top-50 value. If he was your No. 5 back, you'd have assembled good depth for your squad.
