Chiefs putting plays in for McCluster
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (5/31/13) Though he's sidelined with a hamstring injury, Dexter McCluster is still in the Chiefs' offensive plays according to coordinator Doug Pederson. "We don't need him right now, we need him in September," Pederson said, noting he could play running back or wide receiver. "We continue to put plays in for him. He understands what those are. We still want to utilize his strengths, move him and create matchups with him. He’ll be a big piece to this puzzle."

Hamstring sidelines McCluster
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (5/23/13) Chiefs receiver Dexter McCluster hurt his hamstring diving for a pass in OTA workouts on Thursday and didn't return. Coach Andy Reid thought he'd have his speedy receiver back in a week according to the Kansas City Star.

Smith likes McCluster
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (5/23/13) Alex Smith commented on how impressed he's been with Chiefs receiver Dexter McCluster. The versatile McCluster has tried to find a niche with the Chiefs since arriving and might have something with coach Andy Reid working to use him effectively. "Not knowing much about Dexter McCluster ... he was the running back/receiver, and seeing how fluid he is, going in and out of those roles has been impressive for me to watch," Smith said Wednesday. "It’s easy to talk about in the meeting room to say let’s put (a) receiver in and have him run routes and be natural at it and then put him back in the backfield to do a multitude of things ... It’s another thing to see it live. He’s a special guy, and he’s really taken it on."

Reid fond of McCluster
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (4/8/13) The Kansas City Star reports that new Chiefs coach Andy Reid is excited to coach Dexter McCluster this year. “He’s not the biggest guy in the world, but he’s got a heart of a lion,” Reid said. “He’s got that … tremendous quickness and can catch. He’s pretty good at running the football, so there is a place for him. You line him up everywhere. You can move him around and kind of do some unique things with him. I like McCluster. I think he’s a good football player and he has a role on this football team. I’ve got some things in mind for him.” McCluster has just 119 catches, 657 rushing yards and four touchdowns during his tenure, but Reid hopes to use him a lot this season. “I was interested in drafting him,” Reid said. “It just didn’t fall that way. But I did have some interest. I liked him as a football player. He’s a unique talent because he can do a couple, three different things for you whether it’s special teams as a returner or whether it’s offense as a receiver or a running back. His value … is that you can move him into different spots where you can utilize his talents the best. You saw what Charlie (Weis) did with him the one year when he kind of mixed him in the different positions offensively. He can handle it. He’s a sharp kid. Obviously he’s a talented kid.”
