News

  • Future uncertain

    McKenzie is the Bills' only restricted free agent this offseason.

    Analysis: McKenzie played in 15 games in 2019 and served a variety of roles, finishing with 27 receptions for 254 yards and one touchdown while rushing eight times for 49 yards as an effective jet sweeper. The speedster also served on special teams. As a restricted free agent, the Bills can slap a tender offer on McKenzie -- one that won't be very expensive -- but are also facing an offseason dilemma of trying to beef up the receiving staff in an attempt to continue Josh Allen's progress. We'll see if…read more

  • Opportunity knocks

    With John Brown and Cole Beasley inactive, McKenzie is in line for added action Sunday against the Jets.

    Analysis: With the Bills' playoff seeding set, the team rested several key players Sunday, which sets the stage for Buffalo's Week 17 wideout duties to be handled by McKenzie, Robert Foster and Duke Williams.

  • Goes without a target

    McKenzie did not receive a target in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: McKenzie was uninvolved on a night where Josh Allen only threw 25 times, with 10 of his targets going to John Brown. McKenzie, a third-year receiver, has only 23 catches for 236 yards this season.

  • Catches three passes

    McKenzie caught all three of his targets for 34 yards during Thursday's win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The three catches tied a season high, while the 34 yards represents his highest total since Week 5. The 24-year-old actually saw a diminished share of snaps Thursday, as he and Robert Foster essentially rotated duties as the No. 3 wideout, per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. McKenzie's fantasy prospects were already minimal and splitting time with Foster only moves him further from fantasy relevance.

  • Biggest play count to date

    McKenzie caught three of six targets for 21 yards during Sunday's win over Miami.

    Analysis: The crafty speedster was on the field for a season-high 78 percent of the offensive snaps, and for all intents and purposes, he's settled in as the No. 3 receiver right now. That said, the offense runs through John Brown, Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox, so there's not much room for McKenzie to do much more than contribute the occasional change-of-pace touch. McKenzie at least seems to have pushed himself ahead of Duke Williams, Robert Foster and Andre Roberts in the pecking order at receiver.

  • Chosen over Duke Williams

    McKenzie suited up for the second straight week Sunday against the Browns, bringing in two of four targets for 19 yards while seeing action on 54 percent of the team's offensive plays.

    Analysis: McKenzie and Robert Foster were made active for the second straight week while Duke Williams was a healthy inactive, a situation that could remain fluid for the rest of the season. McKenzie is the team's best jet-sweep option, something the Bills have incorporated into their offense for much more than an occasional change-up play. The problem is, McKenzie is often the decoy on these plays and has no more than four touches in a game all season. He was also used more as a return man last season,…read more

  • Returns to active roster

    McKenzie is back on the active roster Week 9 against Washington.

    Analysis: It's essentially been a rotation between McKenzie, Robert Foster and Duke Williams on the active roster over the last few weeks. McKenzie and Foster will get the call in Week 9, with Williams representing a healthy scratch. McKenzie saw a season-high 21 snaps back in Week 7 when he was last active, which he turned into two receptions for 11 yards.

  • Inactive Sunday

    McKenzie is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: While McKenzie will sit this one out, felllow wideout Robert Foster will draw back into Buffalo's lineup Sunday after being a healthy inactive last week.

  • Snags two passes

    McKenzie caught two of three targets for 11 total yards during Sunday's 31-21 win over Miami.

    Analysis: The three targets and 21 offensive snaps represented season highs for McKenzie in Buffalo's first game since Zay Jones was traded to Oakland. If this is the extent of McKenzie's expanded role with Jones out of town, the future doesn't look promising. Depending on Duke Williams' (shoulder) status for Sunday, McKenzie may have an even larger role against the Eagles' 27th-ranked pass defense, but if he couldn't do much against the winless Dolphins, a big day against Philadelphia seems unlikely.

  • All clear Sunday

    McKenzie (ankle) is officially active and will play in Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

    Analysis: McKenzie logged a full practice session Friday, and this news confirms he's mostly shaken off his ankle injury. The 2017 fifth-round pick will continue to provide a gadget option in the offense, giving the Patriots defense something extra to monitor with him on the field.

  • Back to full practice

    McKenzie (ankle) practiced fully Friday after missing Thursday's session and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Given the full practice in the most recent session, we'd lean toward McKenzie being able to play this week. He's a bit player in the Buffalo offense, but he gives the team a gadget option whenever he's out on the field. Assuming he plays, he'll at least give the Patriots something extra to think about.

  • Ankle injury surfaces

    McKenzie did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: McKenzie wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so it appears that his injury is new. Fellow wideouts Zay Jones (shoulder) and Robert Foster (groin) were also limited in practice Thursday. It's possible that Buffalo could be forced to enter Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots with a depleted receiver corps.

  • Catches lone target

    McKenzie caught his only target, a nine-yard gain, during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: It was a drab follow-up to Week 2, when McKenzie had a touchdown reception. There was a point last season in which McKenzie was WR2 in Buffalo. The diminutive speedster is now pushed down the depth chart on a run-first club with a sophomore quarterback who is still a bit inconsistent. McKenzie is unlikely to get more than a few targets per game, but in fairness, he can turn any one of them into a big play.

  • Productive Week 2

    McKenzie caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Giants. He also had one carry for four yards.

    Analysis: McKenzie was on the field for just 17 offensive plays Sunday, but he certainly made them count, frustrating the Giants defense much of the afternoon with the Bills constantly using him as a jet-sweeper or fake jet-sweeper. While that should stay a part of the offense until teams start to figure it out, the speedy McKenzie probably won't see enough volume -- especially once Andre Roberts returns -- to be a meaningful fantasy guy outside of someone that takes away production from the Bills'…read more

  • Needed in Week 1?

    Andre Roberts (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's opener against the Jets, making McKenzie an option in the return game. "We've got some options there," coach Sean McDermott told the Bills' official site Friday. "Whether it's (Robert) Foster, Devin Singletary, (Isaiah) McKenzie, (Micah) Hyde. We've got some guys who have some experience there."

    Analysis: Roberts was set to serve as the main returner on both kickoffs and punts, so if the Bills decide Hyde is too crucial to the defense, McKenzie could be utilized heavily on kicks. The latter also could see a few looks in the passing game, since Roberts' absence there bumps McKenzie up a notch as well.

  • Ekes out final spot

    McKenzie has survived roster cutdowns and is on the Bills' 53-man roster.

    Analysis: McKenzie won a heated battle with Duke Williams and Ray-Ray McCloud, with each player having a strong preseason. In the end, the Bills chose McKenzie's versatility and ability to be a gadget-play threat over Williams' impressive size/athleticism and McCloud's upside.

  • Scores in preseason win

    McKenzie was not targeted in the passing game but scored on a. six-yard jet sweep in Friday's preseason win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Assuming the Bills stick with a top five of Zay Jones, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Andre Roberts and Robert Foster, that leaves perhaps one spot left. There are still a slew of decent wide receivers left before cuts, but if the Bills keep that sixth spot, it appears to be between McKenzie, Duke Williams and Ray-Ray McCloud. Williams has scored in each of the last two games and has excellent size and athletic ability, while McKenzie is a nice jack-of-all trades wideout and is probably the best guy…read more

  • Scores in preseason win

    McKenzie scored on a six-yard run during Friday's 24-20 preseason win over Detroit.

    Analysis: McKenzie capped off Buffalo's first touchdown drive early in the second quarter with a six-yard end around in which he stutter-stepped the Lions' defense. It was a reminder of McKenzie's potential with the ball in his hands and how fall he has fallen since -- at one point -- being Buffalo's second or third receiver in 2018. McKenzie has always been capable of making people miss in the open field, but consistency and ball security have been issues dating back to his time in Denver. He has plenty…read more

  • Strong preseason outing

    McKenzie led the Bills in receiving Thursday, catching both of his targets for 62 yards in the preseason win over the Colts.

    Analysis: That consisted of a 38-yard gain and a 24-yarder from the speedy little guy. McKenzie seems to be on the bubble for a roster spot with the top five just about set, barring injury -- John Brown, Zay Jones, Cole Beasley, Robert Foster and Andre Roberts. If the Bills are to keep a sixth guy, it looks like Ray-Ray McCloud has been the one turning heads all summer, but McKenzie probably sent a few of those looks his way with the two big gainers Thursday.

  • Buffalo's Swiss Army knife

    McKenzie finished his second NFL season with 18 catches (30 targets) for 179 yards and no receiving touchdowns in eight games, seven for Buffalo following a waiver claim from Denver, where he played one game.

    Analysis: McKenzie's role for the Bills wasn't limited to wideout, as he was used frequently on jet sweeps, rushing 10 times for 66 yards and two scores. He also returned 14 punts for 87 yards (6.2 average) and 12 kickoff returns for 237 yards (19.8 average) in his seven games for Buffalo. The Bills are likely to rebuild their receiving corps this offseason with all kinds of cap money to spend, but after it's all said and done McKenzie has a chance to stick with the team as a fourth or fifth wideout. His…read more

  • Inefficient in division loss

    McKenzie caught one of eight targets for an eight-yard gain during Sunday's 24-12 loss to New England.

    Analysis: McKenzie had caught at least four passes in three straight games coming into Sunday. He and Josh Allen just couldn't get on the same page Sunday. McKenzie fell out of favor last season in Denver with mental errors and fumbles, and he has fumbled twice -- losing one -- in six games with the Bills. Still, he's prominent part of a youth movement at receiver in Buffalo and figures to get a fair amount of action in the season finale against the Dolphins, a team he caught four passes against for 46…read more

  • Back in action

    McKenzie has been cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: McKenzie left the game for a spell to be evaluated for a head injury, but he's been cleared and will now look to make his mark in the Buffalo offense in the second half of Sunday's contest.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    McKenzie, who was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Patriots, is being evaluated for a head injury.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, McKenzie did not have a catch in the game. Robert Foster and Zay Jones are currently the Bills' top healthy wideouts.

  • Ready for Week 16

    McKenzie, who was limited Wednesday with an ankle injury, was back to a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: It actually looked like McKenzie's season was over when he was carted off the field Sunday against the Lions, but it turned out to be a more minor injury combined with some cramping, so he'll almost certainly be back at it for Week 16's contest in New England. McKenzie has been used in a hybrid role you see a number of offenses utilizing these days, as a third receiver, occasional jet-sweep guy, and return man.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    McKenzie was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Carted off the field during the third quarter of Sunday's 14-13 win over the Lions, McKenzie surprisingly made it back into the contest and finished as the team leader in targets (seven) and receptions (six). He seems to be on track for Week 16 at New England, but even the slightest of limitations would be a major concern for an undersized player who largely relies on his excellent speed and agility to generate yardage through the air or on the ground.

  • Returns after getting carted off

    McKenzie caught six of seven targets for 53 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 14-13 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: McKenzie was carted off with a non-contact injury in the third quarter, but managed to return to the game. Seeing as McKenzie avoided a serious injury on the play, look for Buffalo to try to get the ball into the speedy playmaker's hands in Week 16 against the Patriots.

  • Shows off rushing skills

    McKenzie rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown while catching four of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: McKenzie got some looks as a rusher and made the most of those opportunities after both LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) were forced out by injuries. His longest run was a 15-yarder, which also culminated in a touchdown late in the first quarter. Should both McCoy and Ivory sit out against the Lions in Week 15, McKenzie would likely steal a few carries from Marcus Murphy.

  • Ready for more opportunity

    McKenzie (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: McKenzie and Robert Foster are now the clear-cut top depth options at receiver behind Zay Jones now that Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes have been discarded. With that in mind, the odds are good McKenzie gets a larger number of offensive snaps the last four games of the season. He'll also see work in the return game.

  • Uncertain for Week 14

    McKenzie (toe) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: McKenzie wasn't able to put in full work in the Bills' final session of the week after injuring himself a day earlier. The 5-foot-7 speedster is expected to step in as the Bills' No. 2 or 3 receiver over the final quarter of the season with Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes out of town, but he'll miss out on at least one chance to seize the opportunity if he isn't able to rally in time for Sunday. The fact that he was able to practice in some fashion Friday is probably a good sign, however.

  • Injures toe in practice

    McKenzie (toe) was listed as limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: McKenzie injured his toe during Thursday's session and was unable to finish practice, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Jets. If he's unable to go this weekend, added snaps in the Bills' thinned-out receiving corps (behind top options Zay Jones and Robert Foster) would be available for Deonte Thompson and Ray-Ray McCloud.

  • Suffers toe injury in practice

    Coach Sean McDermott confirmed that McKenzie suffered a toe injury during Thursday's practice and was unable to finish the session, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: The early departure from the session will likely result in McKenzie being listed as a limited practice participant, but perhaps of greater significance is that the wideout is slated to undergo further evaluation. That hints at the possibility of McKenzie's injury being something that could sideline him for Sunday's game against the Jets, a scenario that would open up more opportunities for lightly used rookie Ray-Ray McCloud.

  • Sent to sideline Thursday

    McKenzie "came up limping" after running a route during Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, after hobbling to the sideline the wideout slammed down his helmet in frustration, so this is a situation to watch, especially with the Bills having parted ways with both Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes earlier this week.

  • Another solid effort in loss

    McKenzie brought in all four of his targets for 46 yards, returned two kickoffs for 31 yards, and netted zero yards on his sole punt return in the Bills' 21-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: McKenzie continues to see his role in the offense increase, as he's now logged multiple catches in two straight games. The second-year speedster is proving to be more than just a return specialist, and he's also a perpetual threat on gadget plays such as jet sweeps due to his ability in space. McKenzie's production will be hard to trust week to week, but he'll look to build on Sunday's effort against the Jets in Week 14.

  • Buffalo's Swiss Army knife

    McKenzie caught two of three targets for 11 yards and ran twice for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: McKenzie also returned three punts for 13 yards and two kickoffs for 43 yards. It's hard to put value on all that other than the touchdown, but it's become clear the Bills love McKenzie's speed and are already finding ways to use it two weeks into his tenure with the team. Perhaps most surprising is McKenzie saw action on 57 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps while mainstay Kelvin Benjamin logged just 40 percent. The newcomer will certainly get more looks over the final five games.

  • Instant return option

    McKenzie, picked up by the Bills a week ago, had five of the six returns in Sunday's win over the Jets. He had four punt returns for 42 yards (10.5 average) and had the team's only kickoff return for 33 yards. McKenzie also had three carries for 32 yards and one catch for 14 yards.

    Analysis: Considering the Bills won the game in large fashion and McKenzie looked better than any other option the team has tried lately, all to go with the notion they would prefer not to use starting safety Micah Hyde on punt returns, it looks like these will be McKenzie's jobs to run with once the Bills come off their Week 11 bye. The offensive output was mostly the result of a garbage-time situation, but it looks like the Bills may have gotten the return man they've been searching for.

  • Picked up by Buffalo

    McKenzie was claimed by the Bills on Monday after being waived by the Broncos on Friday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McKenzie likely walks into a better situation than the one he left, given that the Bills may have the worst wide receiver corps in the league. However, since he'll likely start out sixth on the depth chart and plays for a team that can't move the ball, he's still miles away from being a fantasy consideration.

  • Let go by Denver

    McKenzie was cut by the Broncos on Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McKenzie was cut to make room for fellow wideout River Cracraft on the active roster. The second-year pro will look for a depth role elsewhere in the league and could conceivably find work as a kick returner.
