Jerick McKinnon won’t be a bell cow RB?

Dan Graziano of ESPN reports that the 49ers do not envision Jerick McKinnon as a bell cow running back. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Graziano names Matt Breida as someone who could steal work from McKinnon, particularly on early downs. He says that the 49ers don’t view McKinnon’s contract as an overpay, so they don’t have incentive to feature him as a bell cow simply because of what he’s getting paid. McKinnon is shaping up as a boom or bust pick in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.
