2023 Fantasy Outlook
After a pair of productive years in Washington in 2021 and 2022, McCain signed with the division-rival Giants for the upcoming campaign. The veteran defensive back logged a career-high 76 tackles for the Commanders last season, but he failed to notch an interception after picking off four passes the year prior. McCain could compete for the starting strong safety spot vacated by Julian Love when moved on to Seattle. Regardless of his role, McCain's versatility should allow New York to deploy more looks out of the secondary. Read Past Outlooks

SFree Agent
December 16, 2023
McCain was waived by the Giants on Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McCain signed with the Giants this offseason, but he struggled to make an impact while being restricted almost exclusively to special teams work. Assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team.

Getting cut loose
SFree Agent
February 27, 2023
McCain will be released by the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive back has played all 34 games for Washington over the last two seasons, recording 139 tackles and 14 passes defended, including four interceptions. McCain's release will save the Commanders about $4.4 million against the cap, but he should be able to find a depth role in another team's secondary without too much trouble.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2015
McCain was one of the few strong performers in an ugly 2021 season for Washington's defense, recording 63 tackles, nine pass defenses and four interceptions (including one pick-six) in 17 games. He re-signed in the offseason for two years and $11 million and figures to reprise his role as the deep safety in Washington's defense. McCain's tackle upside for IDP leagues is somewhat limited, as fellow safety Kamren Curl spends more time up near the box.
McCain made 55 starts for Miami over the past six seasons, but he may be a sub-package player in Washington, where Kamren Curl and Landon Collins also have starting credentials at safety.
McCain served as Miami's starting free safety when healthy in 2019, notching 25 tackles and two INTs through nine games. He appears on track to take the field Week 1 fully recovered from shoulder surgery, at which point he'll be the favorite to start opposite Eric Rowe. Rookie third-round pick Brandon Jones could push for reps early on, however, making Rowe a risky season-long fantasy option. On the other hand, the addition of Byron Jones should significantly bolster Miami's secondary.
McCain was the Dolphins fifth-round pick in the 2015 NFL Entry draft. He is unlikely to start this season for Miami as Brent Grimes and Will Davis are a formidable duo on the outside but health could be a factor here as Davis is returning from a knee injury. McCain will provide the team with valuable insurance in the secondary.
