The veteran special teams ace last played for the Panthers and was signed following the injury to Gunner Olszewski. Smith-Marsette shouldn't be counted on for many, if any, offensive snaps at wide receiver at this point in his career, meaning he can be left on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
The Giants made wide receiver Gunner Olszewski a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

McKenzie suffered a knee laceration and right foot injury in the Giants' third preseason game. The 29-year-old vet played in 13 games for the Colts last season before being suspended three games for conduct detrimental to the team. The Giants signed him in March to add to a slot-heavy receiving corps. He had a role as returner, and his injury will open up special teams snaps and some slot snaps. Gunner Olszewski, the Giants' other returner, is recovering from a groin injury. Wan'Dale Robinson stands to benefit from getting increased kick-returning and slot-receiving snaps.
