Last year, McBride scored 18.6 PPR points per game... McBride caught fire with positive touchdown regression while the Cardinals led the league in passing, and he ran 67 more routes than any TE in at least 20 years... There's no sense in reaching for one of these players, who will most likely be available in the second round for you.

McBride's 18.6 PPR in 2025 was TD-inflated and route-heavy; expect regression and second-round availability.

McBride should not be drafted at 1.12 despite elite 2025 production. He scored 18.6 PPR points per game in 2025, but this was inflated by positive touchdown regression while the Cardinals led the league in passing; he also ran 67 more routes than any TE in at least 20 years. Tight ends struggle to match top-tier WR and RB scoring, and McBride's 2025 was an outlier. The source advises against reaching for McBride, as he will likely be available in the second round unless the league has tight end premium scoring.
