Who Should I Start? Jerick McKinnon or Devon Achane

Monday, September 25, 1:54 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon gathered three receptions for 19 yards and two touchdowns with two carries for an additional nine yards in Week 3's 41-10 triumph over the Chicago Bears. The 31-year-old hit paydirt on a Patrick Mahomes touch pass, squirming through the trenches for his first touchdown of the year during the first quarter. McKinnon then snuck into the end zone once more on a short score later in the second quarter to get the rout underway. His role remains specific to pass-catching, as McKinnon handled only two of 32 rush attempts by Chiefs RBs on the afternoon. But the elusive tailback is functioning as one of K.C.'s more dependable receivers, considering the state of their unproven wide-receiver room. With a mere 10 touches to his name this year, however, McKinnon will not be a recommended RB3 outside of the deepest PPR leagues for Week 4's road meeting with the New York Jets.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane went from getting only one carry in Week 2 to leading the team in carries and yards in Week 3. The rookie posted an insane 203 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries while adding 30 yards and two more touchdowns on four catches. His biggest highlight was a 67-yard touchdown run where he outran the entire defense right up the middle. He was involved in every facet of the offense and could possibly turn this huge day into more opportunities down the road. The Buffalo Bills will present a tougher matchup in Week 4, but fantasy managers will want to monitor how many touches he gets in the weeks to come.
