Who Should I Start? Isaiah McKenzie or Jakobi Meyers

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.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) said that he still wants to be traded. "Oh, for sure. But I'm a professional at the end of the day. I'm just trying to play good football," Meyers said when asked if he still wants a trade this year. The Raiders are already looking at another lost season after starting 2-5 and sitting in last place in the AFC West as they head into their Week 8 bye in the first year with Pete Carroll as head coach. The 28-year-old Meyers asked for a trade earlier this season and wasn't granted one, but with Vegas out of contention coming up on the trade deadline, he could get his wish. He missed his first game in the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to knee and toe injuries, but Meyers is expected to be back after the bye to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. After reaching the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career in 2024, Meyers has taken a back seat to Tre Tucker so far in 2025, posting a 29-329-0 line on 43 targets through six games.
