McKinnon has 9 receiving TDs this season, and of the 9 a pair were the first TDs of the game. Considering how hobbled the Chiefs' WR core is heading into this game, McKinnon should be a big factor in the game-plan. Travis Kelce will command most of the red-zone attention in the Chiefs' first trip, but do not be surprised to see McKinnon grab one coming out of the backfield.

Jerick McKinnon (KC) – Over 20.5 Receiving Yards at -125
McKinnon has seen his receiving yards line drop to the lowest it's been in over a month. The last time it was under 20.5 yards, McKinnon finished with 70 receiving yards against the Texans on December 18. The Chiefs' WR core is hobbled heading into this game and aside from Travis Kelce, McKinnon may be the most reliable target for Mahomes. Mecole Hardman, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Kadarius Toney all missed practice the week of January 30, and while I expect Toney/Smith-Schuster to play, to what extent is yet to be seen. McKinnon has been quiet this postseason but will see a larger part of the game plan with him involved compared to the past two weeks. The Eagles rank 24th in pass DVOA vs RBs, allowing 6.8 targets per game to opposing running backs. In the Chiefs last 2 Super Bowl appearances, running backs combined for 9 targets and 8 targets, respectively. Andy Reid has even fewer weapons at this disposal this go around, and McKinnon should play a bigger part than we have seen of late. 1U.
