Isaiah McKenzie News
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has re-signed with the team after being released earlier in the day on Wednesday. The veteran wideout signed with the Colts in the offseason and was battling with rookie Josh Downs for the Colts' starting slot role during camp. After McKenzie was initially released it appeared that Downs had locked up the starting spot but that may not be the case anymore. McKenzie offers some value on special teams but Downs offers more upside as receiver. The 28-year-old wideout posted the best season of his career last year with the Bills when he snagged 42 balls for 423 yards and four touchdowns to go along with nine carries for 55 yards and another score.
Veteran wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was released by the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday. He looked to have made the roster after Tuesday's roster cutdown but is headed to waivers just a day later. McKenzie will likely draw interest from other organizations, but it's tough to see a path toward fantasy relevance for the 28-year-old who has failed to make a big impact since entering the NFL in 2017. After this move, the Colts have Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs as the only active wide receivers on the roster. That said, the team will likely look to add someone as the waiver process plays out.
On the Indianapolis Colts' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie is listed as the team's third wideout, although he remains in competition with impressive rookie Josh Downs for the starting slot role in Indy. As always, fantasy managers shouldn't glean too much from unofficial depth charts, especially before the Colts have even played their first preseason game. The 28-year-old isn't guaranteed anything yet heading into the 2023 regular season behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce. McKenzie was inconsistent as Buffalo's No. 3 pass-catcher last year, which shouldn't give fantasy managers much confidence in him with his move to the Colts, where he'll likely be taking passes from a rookie quarterback that needs more development as a passer.

Former Buffalo Bills slot receiver Isaiah McKenzie signed a one-year, $1.23 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. The Bills cut McKenzie in March after spending the past five seasons there and enjoying a career year in 2022. McKenzie finished with a career-high 42 catches for 423 yards and four touchdowns. He didn't have much fantasy production in Buffalo's high-powered offense last season, only averaging 7.49 PPR fantasy points per game. He was the WR3 for most of the season...
