maybe a dumb question but why is he only getting used in 3rd downs? He seems like he's by far the best RB we have and always seems to get extra yards after he gets hit

1) Because he's small and sending him up the middle into a bunch of lineman is probably a surefire way to get him injured at some point during the season, 2) He gets the least amount of extra yards after contact, and 3) He isn't just used on 3rd down.

huh maybe it's just confirmation bias on my part and how he's used. just seems like his runs are more fruitful than CEH's

Its probably because CEH runs like 7 yards straight to get 4.5 yards on average and McKinnon runs 20 yards yards horizontally to get 4.1 yards on average.

McKinnon has 29 attempts. 19 of those have come on 1st down.
