Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Rejoining K.C. backfield
McKinnon is re-signing with the Chiefs on a one-year deal Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
McKinnon handled a prominent role on offense during Kansas City's playoff run last season, both as a runner and receiver, and he now rejoins Clyde Edwards-Helaire and free-agent addition Ronald Jones in the backfield. On 48 touches through three playoff games in 2021, McKinnon racked up 315 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. The 30-year-old veteran's return could end up limiting Edwards-Helaire's upside in what may prove to be a more crowded backfield than fantasy managers would prefer.

Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Lead back in playoff loss
McKinnon rushed 12 times for 65 yards and caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.
McKinnon was the leading backfield option for the Chiefs, mustering 95 yards from scrimmage on 15 touches compared to Clyde Edwards-Helaire's 40 total yards on seven touches. The 29-year-old McKinnon will be a free agent this offseason, but his strong postseason performance as both a rusher and a pass catcher should lead to a robust market for the running back, be it in Kansas City or elsewhere.

Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Splits with Edwards-Helaire
McKinnon rushed 10 times for 24 yards and caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Buffalo.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) made his return and was far more effective than McKinnon on the ground, with 60 yards on seven rushing attempts. McKinnon maintained a prominent role as a receiver, and he's clearly the best backfield option through the air in the pass-heavy Chiefs offense ahead of what could be another high-scoring affair in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.
