BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Buffalo Bills faced New England this weekend without any of their WR2 and WR3 guys available. That meant that Isaiah McKenzie was going to feature heavily for an Emmanuel Sanders/Cole Beasley-less Bills... and then some. Not only did McKenzie play a ton (67 snaps for an 85% share), but he also thrived to the point he closed the week getting into the WR1/top-12 realm of fantasy performers. Uh, oh.
Shouts out to fantasy GMs out there playing McKenzie because I'm very positive at least 99% of them won their semifinal matchups. That's because McKenzie logged a ridiculously fantastic 11 receptions in 12 targets for a sky-high 125 yards... and a TD to put the cherry on top of everything! The 29.4 PPR points had McKenzie sitting at WR4 pending MNF. Just imagine.
Of course, we'd not be talking about McKenzie had he not been opened the door by Sanders/Beasley missing last week, but they will stay out for another one as they are not vaccinated so that means McKenzie will have another incredible chance to excel playing under QB Josh Allen. McKenzie was an afterthought after this past weekend, but with the WR2 opened he's a must-add-and-start player in pretty much every league out there, even the shallower ones.
