2023 Fantasy Outlook
McKenzie served as the No. 3 receiver for the Bills for most of last season, but his week-to-week production was spotty between inconsistent usage and some minor injuries. Still, it was a decent season overall for the 2017 fifth-rounder as he recorded 42 catches for 423 yards and four TDs. He signed with the Colts in the offseason and will compete with 2023 third-round pick Josh Downs for the team's third receiver/slot role. McKenzie's contract is just for one year and $1.23 million, so it's not a lock he makes the Week 1 roster. However, the Colts may want to begin the season with a veteran in the slot if Downs has any growing pains in training camp. Read Past Outlooks

Faces slot WR competition
McKenzie will face competition for the starting slot receiver role from 2023 third-round pick Josh Downs, the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Indianapolis wide receiver coach Reggie Wayne called Downs the best receiver in the 2023 draft class, so that may be an indication he has a head start in the race. The Colts signed McKenzie for just one year and $1.23 million, so it's not a lock he even makes the Week 1 roster. However, the Colts may want to begin the season with a veteran in the slot if Downs has any growing pains in training camp, especially if rookie Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, wins the starting quarterback job over Gardner Minshew.

On the surface, Isaiah McKenzie was his usual self last year; a low-target fill-in at wide receiver. In fact, in 2021 he was right around his career averages with 20 catches for 178 yards, but 11 of those receptions and 125 of the yards came in Week 16. With Cole Beasley having moved on from the Bills, there are looks to be had behind Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, though McKenzie will have to compete for them with free agent acquisition Jamison Crowder and rookie Khalil Shakir. It does seem McKenzie has a good shot at the slot role, as the Bills rested him for their preseason opener while Crowder took the field.
