In the final chapter of Arizona Cardinal Trey McBride's breakout season, the second-year tight end showcased his prowess with three receptions on six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks. McBride's elevated usage, especially after Zach Ertz's injury in Week 7, turned him into quarterback Kyler Murray's go-to target, culminating in 69 receptions, 655 yards, and three touchdowns over the last 10 games. His performance against Seattle was no exception, as he secured the lone touchdown pass from Murray in the game. As fantasy managers look ahead to 2024, McBride's consistent production and chemistry with Murray make him a promising option in the often-scarce tight-end landscape.

Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride is set for a crucial Week 18 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, and fantasy managers should consider starting him. Despite a slight dip in production in recent weeks, McBride remains a top option at a thin fantasy position. In the last game against the Eagles, he caught 6-of-7 targets for 48 yards, showcasing his consistent involvement in the passing game. Notably, since Week 10, McBride has been a volume monster, ranking first in target share (25.2%) among tight ends. Additionally, with quarterback Kyler Murray under center, McBride has displayed elite volume and usage stats, making him a reliable fantasy asset. As the Cardinals face Seattle to close out the year, McBride's strong finish to the season seems imminent, and he can be started with confidence in Week 18.

In the Cardinals' Week 17 triumph over the Eagles, Arizona tight end Trey McBride showcased his consistency as a fantasy asset, securing six of seven targets for 48 yards. This performance followed a notable six-catch game in Week 16, reaffirming his status as a reliable option in the passing game. Despite registering less than 50 receiving yards for the second consecutive week, McBride remains a standout choice at the tight end position a barren wasteland in most fantasy leagues.

Fantasy managers can confidently look to McBride as a key asset, anticipating continued success into the 2024 season.

As we gear up for the pivotal Week 17 of the fantasy season, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride emerges as a must-start option against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite a quieter showing in the recent loss to the Bears, McBride has been on fire since quarterback Kyler Murray's return. Over the last five contests, he boasts an impressive 38-425-1 line on 45 targets, cementing his role as a crucial target in the Cardinals' passing game. With Murray leading the charge, McBride has been nothing short of exceptional, leading all tight ends with a remarkable 25.6% target share. He also ranks second in yards per route run (YPRR) at 2.36, first in first-read share (31.2%), and first in fantasy points per game at 15.9. Facing an Eagles defense that has allowed the eighth-highest catch rate (75.3 percent) to opposing tight ends, McBride is poised for a resounding rebound in Week 17. Fantasy managers heading into championship week are strongly advised to start McBride, as he remains a set-it-and-forget-it TE1.

In the Cardinals' 27-16 loss to the Bears, Arizona tight end Trey McBride continued to be a reliable target, securing 6-of-8 targets for 31 yards. McBride has been a consistent force since quarterback Kyler Murray's return in Week 10, amassing an impressive 38-425-1 stat line on 45 targets over the past five contests. Although he fell short of 40 receiving yards for only the third time in nine outings, McBride remains a vital part of Arizona's passing game, serving as a safety blanket for Murray. Looking forward to the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, McBride's steady performance and reliable target share position him as a reliable TE1, especially against an Eagles defense that has shown vulnerability to opposing tight ends. Fantasy managers can continue to trust McBride as a valuable asset heading into fantasy championship week.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has been the TE1 in fantasy since Week 8, boasting a 28.3% target share, a 24.5% air-yard share, 2.54 YPRR, and a 34% first-read share. Additionally, he ranks 12th in red zone targets among tight ends, establishing himself as an elite option. In Week 15, McBride further solidified his status, hauling in 10 of 11 targets for 102 yards, finishing as the Cardinals' leading receiver. Despite briefly exiting the game with a shoulder injury, McBride overcame it and posted his second-highest receiving total in 2023. With a recent line of 38/425/2 over the last five games, McBride remains a premium fantasy option. He should continue his strong performance against a Bears' defense that has struggled against tight ends, making him a must-start in Week 16.
Dec 23, 2023 3:38 AM EST
Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 45-29 Week 15 loss to San Francisco. McBride was one of the lone bright spots for Arizona alongside teammate James Conner. He finished as the team's leading receiver while also notching his second 100-yard game of the season, and saw a whopping 11 targets on the day. McBride is blossoming into a stud TE before our very eyes and is sporting a 38/425/2 stat line over his last five games. As such, he should be treated as a premium option at the position moving forward and will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 16.
Dec 18, 2023 3:08 AM EST
Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride has been balling over the past few weeks, and to say he's been good would be an understatement. Since Week 8, McBride has been the TE3 in fantasy points per game while ranking first in target share among tight ends. He's emerging as an elite option for the position and should be considered a must-start at this point. As good as McBride has been, in Week 15 he faces a stiff test against the San Francisco 49ers. The San Francisco defense has been tough on tight ends all season, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. While the matchup is a brutal one, the Arizona offense figures to be behind most of the game, opening the door for McBride to continue posting a solid stat line. He remains a TE1 in Week 15.
Dec 16, 2023 2:18 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight-end Trey McBride hauled in eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in the team's 24-10 Week 13 win over Pittsburgh. McBride has arrived, as he had six more catches, six more targets, and 68 more receiving yards on the day than any other player in the Arizona offense. It was an excellent performance highlighted by three catches of at least 15 yards, including a five-yard TD just before halftime. Since quarterback Kyler Murray returned, McBride has at least 60 receiving yards in three of four contests and appears to be attempting to make a run at upper-tier status for the position by the end of the year. McBride and the rest of the Cardinals will have a Week 14 bye before a tough Week 15 showdown against the 49ers.
Dec 4, 2023 12:31 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin), who was listed as questionable for Week 13, is officially active on Sunday and will play against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. It was reported Saturday that McBride was expected to be available for this contest, and now it's official. Fantasy managers need to leave the 24-year-old locked into their starting fantasy lineups this weekend as a strong TE1 option. McBride only has one touchdown on the year in 12 games played, but in the last three games with quarterback Kyler Murray back from Injured Reserve, he's posted 20 receptions on 25 targets for 234 yards. The Steelers defense hasn't been the friendliest for opposing tight ends in 2023, but McBride needs to be started regardless.
Dec 3, 2023 11:44 AM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin) is likely good to go for Sunday's game versus the Steelers. He missed practice on Wednesday before logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, earning him a questionable tag for Week 13. But it appears Kyler Murray will have two of his top receiving options, with Marquise Brown (heel) also expected to be on the field. Nevertheless, McBride has been more involved of late, catching 33 of his 44 targets for 351 yards and a touchdown in his last five games, giving him credibility for all fantasy lineups.
Dec 3, 2023 1:27 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin) was listed as questionable for the Week 13 contest on Sunday in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. McBride did not practice on Wednesday before putting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, so he appears to be on the right side of questionable for this one. However, fantasy managers are going to want to check back on Sunday morning to make sure he's officially active. The 24-year-old has emerged as a favorite target of quarterback Kyler Murray and has 20 catches on 25 targets for 234 yards in the three games since Murray returned from Injured Reserve. If McBride suits up this Sunday, fantasy managers should leave him in their starting lineups against the Steelers.
Dec 1, 2023 3:27 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice after missing Wednesday's session. It was reported earlier on Thursday that McBride didn't practice, but he returned to the field after the portion open to the media. The 24-year-old could end up taking a questionable tag into Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the fact that he was able to do something at practice on Thursday bodes well for his availability this weekend. Zach Ertz was released by Arizona on Thursday, meaning McBride will be the team's unquestioned top tight end the rest of the way. In three games with quarterback Kyler Murray back under center, McBride has been a strong TE1 option for fantasy managers.
Nov 30, 2023 4:50 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin) was not practicing on Thursday for the second straight day during the period open to the media. McBride's availability for the Week 13 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is now in question, although he still has one more day on Friday to get back on the practice field. The 24-year-old has emerged as a strong TE1 option in fantasy since quarterback Kyler Murray returned from Injured Reserve, as McBride has 20 catches on 25 targets for 234 yards in the last three games while working with Murray. If McBride is unable to play this weekend, Geoff Swaim would step into a bigger role as Arizona's top tight end, but he wouldn't be a worthwhile streaming target, even in a week with six teams on bye.
Nov 30, 2023 1:52 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (groin) didn't practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is coming off one of his best games of the season, collecting seven of his nine targets for 60 yards. However, he's currently battling a groin issue, although only time will tell if he'll suit up in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson (shoulder) also weren't in attendance for Wednesday's session, so it could be a rough week for Kyler Murray. At any rate, Zach Ertz (quadriceps) remains on the injured reserve list, meaning Geoff Swaim, who has just 12 catches this season, could be the next man up if McBride doesn't play.
Nov 29, 2023 6:25 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight-end Trey McBride corralled seven of nine targets for 60 yards in the Cardinals' Week 12 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday. The second-year tight end finished as the team leader in receptions and continues to produce for Arizona and quarterback Kyler Murray. McBride has tallied at least five receptions in four of his last five games and will look to add to his already impressive level of play in the wake of veteran Zach Ertz's (quad) injury. In Week 13, McBride and the rest of the Arizona passing game will head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.
Nov 27, 2023 2:22 AM EST
Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride finished second on the team in receptions and targets in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, showcasing his elite ability. In Week 12, Arizona will match up against the L.A. Rams, who boast the 9th best defense against the pass. Despite this, McBride should remain heavily involved in the team's passing attack, as the Rams have surprisingly struggled against opposing tight ends. With a re-emerging Kyler Murray under center, McBride is positioned to be at or near the top of the team lead in targets and receptions once again. Due to his elite involvement in the offense, McBride projects as a solid option at the position and should be viewed as a TE1 on volume alone.
Nov 25, 2023 3:31 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight-end Trey McBride corralled five of seven targets for 43 yards in the team's 21-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. While McBride continued to be a focal point of the Arizona offense, he wasn't able to match his production from the previous two weeks. Despite the quiet day, he still finished second on the team in receptions and targets while being third in receiving yards, and the young tight-end has at least five receptions in three of his past four games. He should remain a quality piece of the Arizona passing attack and will look to get back on track in a Week 12 showdown against the division-rival Rams.
Nov 20, 2023 2:17 AM EST
Arizona Cardinal's tight end Trey McBride should be considered a TE1 in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. In Week 10, McBride caught eight of nine targets for 131 yards and showcased his elite talent. Since Week 8, McBride ranks second in target share, third in air-yard share, and second in YPRR among all tight ends. He has also been at or near the top in almost all other receiving metrics. In Week 11 he goes up against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the highest fantasy points per game and the fifth-highest receiving yards per game to the position. The matchup is a juicy one, and McBride should have a field day in this game. He remains a starting option at the position for Week 11.
Nov 18, 2023 3:41 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride reeled in eight of nine targets for 131 yards during Sunday's 25-23 Week 10 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. McBride dominated the Cardinals receivers, leading the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards on the day. This is only the second time in nine games that McBride has surpassed 40 receiving yards, and it's clear quarterback Kyler Murray looked his way early and often. Murray has a track record of consistently involving tight ends in the passing game, and perhaps the connection displayed between the two will be the norm moving forward. McBride will look to keep the good times rolling in Week 11 when the Cardinals take on the Houston Texans.
