Isaiah McKenzie Fantasy

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers. McKenzie's value for the Bills is mainly on special teams, as he opened the game with a 75-yard kickoff return to set up a Bills field goal. Likely fifth in line at receiver, McKenzie not reentering this game wouldn't change much for the Bills offense. Marquez Stevenson is the backup returner according to the depth chart, but Stevenson is currently on the Injured Reserve.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He injured his shoulder in practice a couple of weeks ago and still hasn't fully recovered. The MRI came back clean, which is a good sign going forward. However, it's unlikely that McKenzie is going to have reliable fantasy value this season. The Bills have at least four other options ahead of him on the depth chart. Possibly, McKenzie is worth rostering if someone else gets hurt, but isn't a reliable option for Week 1.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in practice on Tuesday, according to a source. McKenzie is undergoing an MRI exam to determine the severity of the injury after emerging as a key weapon for the Bills offense last year. The 26-year-old has also had a strong training camp and was likely to earn the No. 5 receiving role entering the regular season. McKenzie is also the team's top kick returner, so a lengthy injury absence could complicate Buffalo's return game as well. He had five receiving touchdowns in 2020 but remains mostly a chest piece that won't see enough volume to be a realistic fantasy weapon. McKenzie's injury, if serious, could open the door for Jake Kumerow to serve as the No. 5 wideout to begin the regular season.
