Who Should I Start? Isaiah McKenzie or Christian Watson

Tuesday, March 12, 9:15 PM

The New York Giants have agreed to a deal with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie on Tuesday. The details of the deal are unknown, but it's assumed to be a cheap one-year deal. The 28-year-old is looking for a bounce-back campaign after a quiet season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023. McKenzie has been more of a depth player throughout most of his career. However, he was able to make some noise with the Buffalo Bills in 2022. That season, McKenzie finished with 42 receptions for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games. The expectation is that McKenzie will be more of a depth option, so his fantasy value will probably be limited next season.

The Green Bay Packers feel that they have a better grasp of where wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) stands after he underwent a body scan at the University of Wisconsin-Madison this offseason with the hope of preventing future flare-ups. Watson has battled hamstring injuries in both of his two seasons in the NFL, with the 6-foot-4, 208-pounder missing eight games in 2023, playing just 446 offensive snaps. It hasn't just been hamstring injuries for the 24-year-old, and he's played in only 23 games in his first two seasons to quickly develop an injury-prone label. But when healthy, he's caught 69 of 119 targets for 1,033 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding two rushing scores. There's intriguing upside given the nature of Green Bay's improving offense under quarterback Jordan Love, but Watson's durability makes him a risk/reward fantasy selection heading into his third year.
