2024 Fantasy Outlook
McKinstry was projected as a potential first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he fell to the second round after undergoing surgery for a Jones fracture in his right foot. The Alabama product is expected to be healthy for the start of the regular season, and, after starting 33 collegiate games, he has the size, physicality and experience to compete for a significant role, likely as a boundary cornerback, during his rookie season. Additionally, McKinstry's experience returning punts could help him carve out a spot on special teams. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
McKinstry returned to practice Wednesday after missing the Saints' last two games due to a hamstring injury. He appears to be on track to play Sunday against the Browns, however, after he was able to practice Thursday without limitations. In the eight games prior to his injury, McKinstry logged 18 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses.
