I tried to ignore this, but having watched all the Chiefs preseason games I can't ignore it any more. In PPR leagues, especially where McCluster is designated as an RB, McCluster should be on your radar.
The Chiefs have been using him in the slot and he has been catching just about everything. He is leading the team in receptions for the preseason. I was as down on this guy as anybody as far as being a really helpful fantasy player, but if this is the way the Chiefs are going to use him, he is going to surprise a lot of people. He really seems to be in his element in the slot.
He is being drafted only in larger leagues right now, and there seems to be absolutely no buzz in fantasy circles about this developing situation. But if he performs in the first week of the season the way he has in the preseason there will be a whole lot of teeth gnashing trying to get him on rosters come first waiver period.
Sounds crazy I know. That's why I have resisted saying anything until now. But last night I saw the same movie for the third time, and it ends the same way each time.
