McKinnon's ACL tear was "pretty clean" according to reports. After having September ACL surgery, the plan is for him to be back for the open of training camp
Summary
There were high 2018 expectations for McKinnon as he stepped into Kyle Shanahan's fantasy-friendly offense. But they were dashed in September, when an ACL tear ended his 49ers debut days before it began. McKinnon remains an enticing physical prospect, a SPARQ superstar who posted stunning speed, quickness, and explosion marks at his 2014 combine. He then racked up 1,117 scrimmage yards on just 213 touches while rotating over his first 2 pro seasons. But his production declined sharply as he moved into a more featured role in Minnesota, averaging just 3.6 yards per rush over 2016-17. There's always upside to a Shanahan back; his creativity and dedication to the run have helped a handful of flawed or limited guys post strong fantasy seasons all over the league. But McKinnon is recovering from an ACL tear while mired in a crowded backfield, and he hasn't been efficient on the ground in four years. There are worse late-round fliers, but he holds a true zero-point floor and shouldn't be chased unless his camp and preseason are dazzling. (May 9)FBG Staff Rankings
