Isaiah McKenzie Placed On Season-Ending Injured Reserve

Tuesday, August 27, 9:18 PM

New York Giants have placed wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (lower body) on season-ending injured reserve. The Giants did opt not to designate McKenzie for return, so he will not be able to return later in the season. The 29-year-old veteran wideout reportedly suffered a right foot injury in addition to a laceration of his knee during the Giants' preseason finale against the New York Jets. McKenzie was expected to contribute to the Giants' depth and in the return game, but his absence will open up other opportunities. McKenzie shouldn't be considered in all but the absolute deepest of fantasy leagues but should be dropped in seasonal formats if he's rostered.

Can Jahan Dotson Handle WR2 Role in Atlanta?

Tuesday, March 10, 12:26 PM

Retired All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. believes that new Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson "has developed enough" to handle the No. 2 receiver role behind Drake London, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. The Falcons have released Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge, leaving only London, Casey Washington, and Deven Thompkins under contract in 2026. In addition to Dotson, the Falcons signed Olamide Zaccheaus on Monday. The 25-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State only has 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 121 catches in his first four NFL seasons with the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, but his speed means he'll be "expected to play the field-stretcher role" that was handled the last two years by Mooney. Given Atlanta's big question mark at quarterback, Dotson figures to be a boom/bust WR4/5, at best, in fantasy in 2026.
