Selected third overall in Lawrence Jackson's mock draft, McBride is positioned as a top-tier tight end for 2026 fantasy drafts.NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
McBride's fantasy points per route run ranked eighth among tight ends with at least 150 routes in 2025 (in line with Bowers and Sam LaPorta), and he ranked tenth in yards per route run alongside Pitts and Harold Fannin; his efficiency was solid if unspectacular.NegativeUsageAug 10, 2026
McBride ran 156 more pass routes than any other tight end in the NFL in 2025 (about four and a half games worth of routes), had 39 more targets than any other tight end, and 48 more first-read targets than any other tight end according to Fantasy Points Data; this exceptional volume is unlikely to repeat.NegativeProjectionAug 10, 2026
McBride's 2025 league-winning campaign was partly driven by remarkable and likely unsustainable volume; the Cardinals averaged 68 offensive snaps per game (third-highest in NFL) and 46 passes per game (league-leading) over the final 11 weeks. Natural regression after a team runs an exceptionally high number of plays suggests McBride might not have that volume going for him in 2026, and this regression may not be baked into his lofty redraft ADP.NegativeProjectionAug 6, 2026

McBride posted the third-most points for a tight end in NFL history last year, largely by setting the receptions record at 126—10 more than any other tight end in league history. The source places him in Tier 1 with limitless ceiling alongside Bowers.PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
