Jerick McKinnon Thread

[Pullo Vision]

So McKinnon was dropped in my dynasty league, would you guys be rostering him?

Depending on the league. If rosters are deep enough, or you have IR spots, absolutely. I'd expect his fanboys to recover some of their exuberance and be able to sell for a profit.

Depends who you'd drop to roster him but yeah you should be able to find an end of the bench stash to replace him for. He should be rostered, at the very least flip him next off season when hype increases his value.

I am by no means a big McKinnon fan, but I don't understand dropping him. He's on IR, so at the very least a dynasty team can put him on theirs. His contract is still going to give him opportunity heading into next season to get the starting job. Despite him being overvalued by many as an early 1st, he's going to be worth a late first or worst case a second round pick. That's just free money sitting on waivers. I can't imagine not having someone to cut for that kind of a return. Depending on which one it is on your signature, I see at least 3 names on each.

I agree that I wouldn't drop him either. As to the bolded. Not everyone has IR available to them so perhaps in a short bench league that team didn't to use that roster spot anymore. Again, I wouldn't drop him, but I could see it.

That's a very strange league to be dynasty and not have IR.

Well my dynasty doesn't so that is one reason I mentioned it.

Mine doesn't have IR either, it's just a standard MFL dynasty. I picked him up, dropped Jalen Richard for him for Team 2. Thanks guys, completely forgot about the guy dropping him to start the season. I assume same for other owners

[Phaded]

There are actually dynasty leagues without IR spots?

I'm not sure what you mean by "standard" MFL given that the platform is completely customizable. So the commissioner would have set it up that way. I suspect you'll find there's nothing "standard" about no IR slots.

Regardless, dropping Richard was a good decision. That team has some others you could have cut. Ito Smith, Tre'Quan Smith both jump out.

I'd suggest trying to get some IR spots added so you aren't in a position of cutting valuable players just because of injury. Last season my players on IR reached double digits (55 man rosters). At least I was able to put 3 of them on IR and be able to get something of use from waivers.

What are the odds Mckinnon regains the starting job next season?

50/50 in my eyes.
The Breida truther in me wants to say 0% but Shannahan is mind boggling with some of his personnel decisions.
See: Alfred Morris.

Before the season starts? Pretty good if and only if they don't draft new players. Breida is not an every down back.

However, the following are all links to a point in time when I said this guy would get hurt sometime this year, prior to him getting hurt:

Dude can't stay on the field. I'm a HUGE 49er fan and I wanted to believe. But after doing my research and asking nearly every Viking fan I came into contact with, I couldn't find ONE fan or ONE reason that McKinnon would be a solid every down back for the next 4-5 years. I sold all my copies.

He's a great buy low atm. I might even do it myself but ONLY for the purpose of flipping him sometime next year, preferably before the rookie draft. Probably not worth the hassle...

Wondering if McKinnon is still a mid 1st. Asking for a friend?

[Jfever]

Depends on the team imo. I’d value him around a mid to late first. I’d sell for that - and I’d be ok with buying for a mid 2nd if I was a contender and wanted to add short term depth in ppr leagues.

[Jfever]

With the news of T.Coleman going there, I change my take above. McKinnon is prob worth a mid 2nd at best. Looks to be a frustrating rbbc situation brewing in SF

At the top of this page, I saw Skip’s name with an insightful post.

I teared up a little. Sigh....
