McKenzie and the Giants reached agreement Tuesday on a one-year contract,Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. The deal reunites him with Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who was the offensive coordinator in Buffalo from 2018 to 2021. McKenzie was the Bills' third or fourth WR for much of that time, though his receiving production peaked in 2022 (42-423-4) under OC Ken Dorsey and then crashed in 2023 (11-82-0) when he left for Indianapolis. McKenzie turns 29 in April and may end up contributing more as a return man than wide receiver in New York.

The veteran wideout missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury, but after practicing with no limitations Thursday, it seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. McKenzie has seen a limited offensive role in his first year with Indianapolis, catching 11 of his 14 targets for 82 yards and playing on 14 percent of the team's offensive snaps.
McKenzie played just six snaps on offense as he moved back to mostly a special teams role with the top three receivers healthy.
McKenzie played a season-high 24 snaps on offense with Josh Downs leaving with a knee injury. McKenzie would likely be the starting slot receiver next week at New England if Downs were to miss the game.
McKenzie left briefly after being checked for a concussion. He played a season-high nine snaps on offense, but that usage isn't enough for viable fantasy value in most leagues outside of those that include return yards.
