Who Should I Start? Isaiah McKenzie or Kendrick Bourne

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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne's role in the team's passing attack has diminished after George Kittle returned from injured reserve in Week 7 and as Jauan Jennings' health improved in recent weeks. Bourne made a splash with back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6, but has just eight catches on nine targets for 111 yards in the four games since. His stock will fall further still in Week 11, as Ricky Pearsall (knee) will return to the lineup after missing the 49ers' last six games. Bourne's snap share, already decreasing in recent weeks, should take a significant hit on Sunday. Brock Purdy's (toe) return this week won't have the same impact on Bourne as it might have with Pearsall out of the picture. Bourne projects as a WR5 against the Arizona Cardinals' middling pass defense and should be left out of starting fantasy football lineups.
