The issue w/ McKinnon has always been injuries and durability. Welp - the post-season is here and he's on a 1-year deal. Empty the tank.

I'd start him. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. But he's a veteran RB w/ some juice in his legs who knows how to block and can catch out of the backfield. He's demonstrated vision and versatility. There's no reason why he can't get a significant snap share going forward.

Good lookin' out, Andy.

McKinnon is your hot hand - ride him through the post-season. He's the best combination of traits we have on this roster to run the offense that Reid and crew want to run.

If they'd commit more heavily to an inside zone system, I'd say give CEH and Gore more run - but they clearly don't want to do that. So if they're going to continue w/ the outside zone plays and frequent screens, your guy is McKinnon.
