NegativeValueAug 3, 2026
Justin Mello remains a believer in Trey McBride but acknowledges that his 2025 season may be his statistical peak due to expected regression in Arizona's pass volume. He views a trade for Brock Bowers as fair but difficult due to his personal attachment to McBride's talent.NegativeProjectionJul 27, 2026
McBride had the third greatest tight end season of all time last year, but Pisapia cautions that asking for a repeat of that performance could be asking too much; he notes McBride did not have a great quarterback situation last year, which contextualizes the sustainability of his elite production.NegativeValueJul 24, 2026
The source has Trey McBride and Colston Loveland very close in dynasty single QB, but prefers Loveland due to age (McBride turning 27 vs. Loveland at 22) and quarterback situation (Caleb Williams vs. 'the great unknown'). McBride is an elite target earner with two years of proven production, but the source believes windows to acquire Loveland plus for McBride are closing. In tight end premium formats, Loveland is preferred as a 'rocket ship to the moon,' suggesting McBride's dynasty value has plateaued relative to younger alternatives.NegativeValueJul 24, 2026
The source mentions that fading Trey McBride is the correct move according to current market sentiment, citing offensive circumstances as the reason. This reflects a cautious, overcorrected market stance on McBride.PositiveUsageJul 17, 2026
McBride has established himself as a 25% target share guy, which should remain relatively consistent despite added competition from Jeremiah Love and other Cardinals receivers.NegativeProjectionJul 17, 2026
McBride's 11 touchdowns last year had everything break right for him, and the analyst has a hard time seeing that repeat this year, especially if Carson Beck plays meaningful games during the fantasy playoffs.NegativeProjectionJul 17, 2026
The analyst has had trouble clicking on Trey McBride due to opportunity cost, and believes last year may have been his career year with so many routes run and targets, making a repeat unlikely.PositiveRoleJul 16, 2026
Trey McBride's presence limits target volume for other Cardinals receivers like Michael Wilson.PositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026
Identified as one of the elite tight ends that justify tight end premium in dynasty bestball roster construction.PositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026
Identified as a top-tier tight end in high tight end premium leagues; his average week production (5 receptions, 60 yards) is used as a benchmark for tight end evaluation.PositiveRoleJul 10, 2026
McBride is described as one of if not the best tight end in football, representing one of the Cardinals' most talented weapons despite the offense's overall struggles.PositiveProjectionJul 3, 2026
Trey McBride's 2024 ceiling year cannot be repeated; he has never been a big touchdown scorer historically, and his TD production last year was a tail outcome aided by Jacoby Brissett feeding tight ends relentlessly. With potential quarterback changes (Carson Beck, Minshew) looming, McBride's target volume and efficiency could decline significantly. At current ADP, Samwise is not targeting him and would need to see him fall further in draft position before becoming willing to select him.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
The source positions Trey McBride as a beneficiary if Marvin Harrison Jr. struggles under pressure in 2024, noting that if Harrison 'melts under the pressure, then it's going to be the Michael Wilson and Trey McBride show,' suggesting elevated target share and production potential.PositiveValueJun 17, 2026
Trey McBride is a premium tight end that Sean targets early in drafts, often willing to finish with two tight ends if he lands McBride in the early rounds.PositiveRoleJun 11, 2026
Trey McBride is the only guaranteed piece in the Arizona Cardinals offense, with uncertainty around other receivers like Marv Harrison.PositiveUsageJun 10, 2026
Trey McBride's role is uncertain in the new Cardinals offense under Mike LaFleur, as the Rams-style system spreads targets among multiple receivers and tight ends, potentially limiting his target share.PositiveValueJun 9, 2026
Trey McBride is a good pick in the third round, and the analyst would take him around AJ Brown and Nico Collins instead of the middle of third if Jacoby Brissett was guaranteed to start 17 games.NegativeValueJun 8, 2026
Drafted before the third wide receiver in a poorly constructed team that graded out horribly.NegativeRoleJun 7, 2026
McBride's role is complicated by the possibility of Gardner Minshew and Carson playing at certain points this season, as rookie quarterbacks are historically poor for tight end production.NegativeProjectionJun 7, 2026
McBride cannot replicate his historic top-three tight end season from 2024, and the analyst would only draft him if he fell to the fourth round, citing the difficulty of repeating elite tight end seasons and the risk of backup quarterbacks (Minshew, Carson) playing during the season.PositiveProjectionJun 4, 2026
McBride's recent breakout season is cited as a comparable outcome that could easily happen with Brock Bowers this year, with expectation of triple-digit catches.PositiveProjectionJun 4, 2026
If the Cardinals move away from Brissett and start Minshew, McBride would be drafted too high due to increased offensive opportunity.PositiveRoleNo date
Part of a strong roster alongside Josh Allen and St. Brown that makes the team a 'juggernaut' in a 10-team dynasty league.PositiveRoleNo date
The source drafted Trey McBride in the Scott Fishbowl, which is unusual for their typical late-round tight end strategy. This represents a departure from their normal process, suggesting McBride appealed to them as an early-round tight end option.NegativeProjectionNo date
McBride is ranked as the tight end two, though the speaker has slight hesitation compared to Bowers. McBride was the tight end one last year with the third-highest scoring season by a tight end ever, playing as a true wide receiver one in Arizona. The concern is that passing volume may decrease with the addition of Jeremiah Love (number three overall pick) and Tyler Algier to the offense. However, even with a substantial production decrease, McBride could still finish as the tight end one or two, similar to how Cooper Cup remained the receiver one in points per game in 2022 despite regression concerns.NegativeValueNo date
Viewed as closer in talent to Colston Loveland than the dynasty market perceives; can be sold in packages to leverage the value gap; example given: selling McBride and Bucky Irving for Loveland plus a better asset to capitalize on the perceived gap.PositiveValueNo date
Alex Dunlap has minimal exposure to Trey McBride in his draft strategy, positioning him as significantly less valuable than Zay Flowers; recommends quadruple exposure to Zay Flowers relative to McBride, indicating McBride is not a priority target.NegativeBustNo date
Despite Arizona's systemic headwinds—lower passing volume, increased running game focus with Jeremiah Love, Michael Wilson's breakout, and Marvin Harrison Jr.'s return—McBride is being drafted as the tight end to target. However, Alex Dunlap argues this is a "grenade" pick at the 2nd-round turn (picks 21–22), where opportunity cost is "giant." McBride could finish outside the top five tight ends in this offense, making him a bust risk at his ADP despite his multi-season track record of production.PositiveValueNo date
Trey McBride is immune to Cardinals offensive headwinds (lower passing volume, Jeremiah Love focus, quarterback uncertainty with Carson Beck) because of his multi-year track record of production and organizational commitment. Despite all these headwinds, McBride should be drafted as the tight end to target.NegativeUsageNo date
Dominates targets in the Cardinals offense but not viewed as a concern for Michael Wilson's upside; neither player is expected to lead the team in targets. Wilson can be top-two in targets and win in the end zone alongside McBride's target volume.PositiveProjectionNo date
Trey McBride is described as a great pick in tight end premium leagues and will be very productive, though Colston Loveland is positioned as a superior long-term value.
