2020 Defense Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
As an accomplished college safety praised for his ability to alternate between safety, slot corner and rover functions, McKinney's worst-case NFL outcome is probably something like Kenny Vaccaro. There's plenty of room for a better outcome than that, though, both because McKinney inherits a productive role and because he posted standout production at Alabama. Antoine Bethea made 110 tackles in 2019 starting opposite Jabrill Peppers, and in 13 games last year McKinney totaled 95 tackles, three sacks and three interceptions as the Crimson Tide's leading tackler. Unfortunately, McKinney suffered a foot fracture during training camp, likely putting him on injured reserve to start his pro career. He isn't expected to play until November or December, if at all this season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Wraps rookie campaign with 25 stops
McKinney notched 25 tackles (14 solo), one defended pass and one interception through six games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
McKinney missed much of his rookie campaign while recovering from offseason foot surgery, but he managed to carve out a large defensive role (over 50 percent of snaps) during the Giants' final three regular-season games. The 2020 second-round pick stands to get every chance to compete for a starting role come 2021.

Dennis Gardeck was a non-prospect out of Sioux Falls, but the formerly obscure third-year player has quickly established himself as an intimidating pass rusher.

The best thing you can do if you made an error, like leaving Baker Mayfield on your bench this weekend, is to take the L and let it go.

There are always bad beats in fantasy football, but few worse than Tyreek Hill losing one long TD to a holding call and another to Andy Reid neglecting to throw a challenge flag on a clear catch.
