Isaiah McKenzie

Despite the Indianapolis Colts' impressive 31-20 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 2, wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie had a quiet day on the field.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old was targeted only once, which he converted into a 7-yard reception. This modest contribution didn't do much to boost his fantasy ranking, which currently sits at WR94 for the week and WR105 for the season. Looking ahead to Week 3, McKenzie and the Colts will face off against the Baltimore Ravens, where he'll be hoping to make a more significant impact.

According to Jordan Schultz, the Indianapolis Colts are re-signing WR Isaiah McKenzie, who was a surprise cut Wednesday morning.

Fantasy Impact

Most likely, the drama was just a form of roster manipulation to help the Colts get the players they wanted on their team. McKenzie is one of just four WRs on the Colts' roster, meaning he will see somewhat significant snaps unless things change. However, he is still expected to play behind WRs Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, keeping his fantasy relevance low.

The Indianapolis Colts have released WR Isaiah McKenzie.

Fantasy Impact

The move comes as a bit of a surprise considering this leaves the Colts with just three wide receivers on their roster. McKenzie will likely have suitors that are in need of a slot receiver or a punt/kick returner.

According to his agents, WR Isaiah McKenzie has signed a deal with the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact

McKenzie accrued a career-high 478 yards and five touchdowns in 2022 with 51 touches. The 27-year-old playmaker saw an increased role in the Bills’ offense but was released. In Indianapolis, McKenzie can bring dynamic value as a slot receiver, a gadget guy or as a return man but likely won’t operate any higher than as the team’s WR3 behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce.

Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

McKenzie is dealing with a hamstring injury of some kind that left him sidelined at practice all week. He will miss Sunday's game because of it, and it's still unclear if he will be able to play in the coming weeks if Buffalo advances. He wasn't expected to get a lot of work, but John Brown may still get a few extra looks in McKenzie's absence against Miami.
