Trey McBride is one of my 2026 fantasy fades entering the season, so why shouldn't that be the case in Week 1 with his matchup against the Chargers, who have five-time Pro Bowl SS Derwin James and last year were No. 3 in fewest fantasy points allowed to TEs (9.5)?

McBride faces Chargers' elite TE defense and LaFleur scheme uncertainty in Week 1.

Freedman identifies McBride as a stud to consider benching in Week 1 against the Chargers. McBride is one of Freedman's 2026 fantasy fades entering the season, and the matchup is particularly unfavorable: the Chargers feature five-time Pro Bowl SS Derwin James and ranked No. 3 in fewest fantasy points allowed to TEs last year (9.5 PPG). While McBride has been elite over the past two years (No. 2 in targets with 316, No. 2 in receptions with 237, No. 6 in receiving yards with 2,385, and 11 TDs last season), uncertainty around his fit in HC Mike LaFleur's offense and the Cardinals' disadvantage playing on turf on the road compound the concern.
