2024 Fantasy Outlook
McKenzie was deployed sparingly in his lone campaign with the Colts last year, playing about as many snaps on offense (110) as on special teams (109). A similar role likely awaits him with New York in 2024 if he's able to make the roster. In his favor is familiarity with head coach Brian Daboll's offense from their time together in Buffalo; working against McKenzie is the fact that the Giants have two other receivers (Gunner Olszewski and Miles Boykin) vying for a roster spot who also excel on special teams.

With RB Saquon Barkley departing for a division rival in the offseason, the Giants are left without an identity on offense in 2024. Much will fall on QB Daniel Jones to live up to his massive contract.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2018
2017
McKenzie served as the No. 3 receiver for the Bills for most of last season, but his week-to-week production was spotty between inconsistent usage and some minor injuries. Still, it was a decent season overall for the 2017 fifth-rounder as he recorded 42 catches for 423 yards and four TDs. He signed with the Colts in the offseason and will compete with 2023 third-round pick Josh Downs for the team's third receiver/slot role. McKenzie's contract is just for one year and $1.23 million, so it's not a lock he makes the Week 1 roster. However, the Colts may want to begin the season with a veteran in the slot if Downs has any growing pains in training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Offseason cut candidate
McKenzie may be released this offseason to create cap space, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
McKenzie was given an opportunity to play the slot receiver role in 2022, as Jamison Crowder missed almost the entire season due to an ankle injury, but McKenzie mustered only 423 yards and four touchdowns, prompting Buffalo to add veteran Cole Beasley for the playoffs. The Bills can free up $2.9 million in cap room by releasing McKenzie, who has provided an occasional spark on gadget plays over the years but profiles as a No. 4 wide receiver at best.
