BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New York Jets
Isaiah McKenzie remains relevant because of the Bills offense even though he will have more days like he did on Thursday with five receptions for 44 yards. The receptions are usually there which helps with PPR rankings.

Tough matchup this week against the Jets keeps McKenzie on the bench for Week 14 although he still remains a good bench player for depth.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New England Patriots
Isaiah McKenzie had a season-high 10 targets which produced six receptions for a season-high 96 yards. The problem is these type of games are few and far between. If you started him last week, you were rewarded, but most of the time he is a fantasy disappointment.

Keep McKenzie on the waiver wire unless you start to see consistent numbers from him because the Bills offense can make anyone a fantasy hero on a given week.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Jets

Isaiah McKenzie has shown flashes of ability this season, and has actually found the end zone four times - including on a rushing attempt last week against the Packers - but his inconsistent receiving production has made it tough for fantasy managers to start him. While he did find the end zone last week, he was held to just one catch for eight yards and two yards rushing. He had two catches and nine yards the previous week and has only eclipsed 40 receiving yards once this season. Relegated to the third WR status on the depth chart, McKenzie should be considered a desperation starter at best.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Kansas City Chiefs
Isaiah McKenzie did not play last week because of a concussion. However, he has been cleared to practice and will be in the lineup this Sunday. So far this season, he has 15 receptions for 153 yards but what stands out is the three touchdown receptions he already has.

Its a favorable matchup this week against a below-average Chiefs pass defense. However, McKenzie has not put up any eye-popping numbers any weeks this season. He has been consistent, but very average. We suggest you keep him on the bench this week despite a good matchup and a rolling Buffalo offense.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Baltimore Ravens
After a quiet first two weeks, Isaiah McKenzie set season highs for himself in every fantasy category. He was targeted 9 times (6 the previous two games combined), had 7 receptions for 76 yards and scored his second TD of the season. That's very good third receiver production as he only played 51% of the snaps.

McKenzie has a good matchup this week against the Ravens who are dead last in aFPA to wide receivers. Part of the reason we saw good numbers last week was that Gabe Davis hasn't been 100% so McKenzie saw more targets.

Although it was a good sign to see McKenzie's numbers improve, the snaps overall for the season have been under 50%. He will have games like this but he is clearly down the ladder as far as receiving options go. Keep him on the bench unless for some reason Davis is a late scratch on Sunday.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Tennessee Titans
Isaiah McKenzie had a quiet Week 1 as he was only targeted three times which produced two receptions for 19 yards. However, he did help fantasy managers because he did score a touchdown. Don't be fooled by the low numbers to start the season. McKenzie will be deeply involved in this offense, especially when more attention starts going to Gabriel Davis.

The Bills take on the Titans and it should be another good offensive day for Buffalo. However, we side with caution after last Thursday and suggest you keep McKenzie on the bench for Week 2. There will be times when he will be an option as a WR3 or flex.

BUF WR Isaiah McKenzie - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Los Angeles Rams
Isaiah McKenzie showed some signs of breaking out last year and will now have even more opportunities as the Bills' No. 3 receiver. McKenzie's full participation in Monday's practice puts him on track to play Thursday night against the Rams.

Los Angeles had a very good pass defense in 2021, ranked 7th in aFPA to wide receivers. The Bills' pass offense should be good again so McKenzie will double his weekly numbers from last year when he was the No. 4 guy.

Although McKenzie will have some big games playing in the slot for Buffalo, we are opting to keep him on the bench Week 1 because of the opponent and we want to see how new OC Ken Dorsey uses him.
