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.
