New Orleans Saints
2024 Fantasy Outlook
McKinstry was projected as a potential first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he fell to the second round after undergoing surgery for a Jones fracture in his right foot. The Alabama product is expected to be healthy for the start of the regular season, and, after starting 33 collegiate games, he has the size, physicality and experience to compete for a significant role, likely as a boundary cornerback, during his rookie season. Additionally, McKinstry's experience returning punts could help him carve out a spot on special teams. Read Past Outlooks

Good to go against Cleveland

November 17, 2024
McKinstry (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
McKinstry finished the week strong with back-to-back full practices, and he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The rookie second-round pick should see a significant uptick in defensive snaps after Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to the Commanders at the trade deadline Nov. 5.
