Trey McBride has also seen elevated double coverage rates of 41% and 30% over the last two weeks, reflecting increased defensive focus on Cardinals receivers following the Marvin Harrison trade.PositiveValueAug 28, 2026
The source identifies Trey McBride as a high-value target, arguing that a third-round ADP is unjustifiable. Even if he does not repeat his outlier 2024 season, he remains a talented player with the potential for a monstrous year if he increases his touchdown total.NegativeValueAug 25, 2026
The source cites Trey McBride as a primary reason for not drafting more DeVonta Smith, noting that McBride is a high-value target in the third round coming off a historic tight end season that makes him difficult to pass on.PositiveUsageAug 18, 2026
Trey McBride is considered a high-floor asset in best ball, locking up a starting tight end spot in 70% of weeks. The Legendary Upside simulator frequently recommends pairing him with elite or mid-round options like Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, or Jake Ferguson. While the source is skeptical of four-tight-end builds on McBride teams for tournament play, he remains a core piece of successful roster constructions.NegativeValueMay 9, 2026
McBride was first in ADP and the source initially ranked him as tight end one, following market consensus. However, the market has flipped and the source now believes people are getting too bearish on McBride due to Carson Beck concerns. The source suggests the quarterback situation may be overblown—Beck is being treated like Brady Cook but is more comparable to Nick Foles, a middling quarterback who won a Super Bowl but was also bad. Despite the market shift, McBride remains a strong tight end option with legitimate upside if the quarterback narrative is overblown. The source also cites McBride as the benchmark for elite tight end talent that defines a season, using him as the standard for league-winning upside at the position.PositiveProjectionNov 21, 2025
McBride has been elite since Week 6, ranking third in total fantasy points behind only Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor. The source emphasizes the simplicity of his upside: 'What if he catches touchdowns?' Everything has broken his way including favorable game scripts, quarterback change to Brett Hundley (who plays more under center and play action), and Marvin Harrison's injury/concussion absence.NegativeValueAug 10, 2025
Classified by the source as one of three elite tight ends for 2025 draft strategy but positioned in the middle tier between Brock Bowers (second-year superstar prospect) and George Kittle (established elite); lacks the superstar prospect status of Bowers and the proven elite profile of Kittle.NegativeValueNo date
Used as ADP reference point; speaker indicates McBride's draft position (around pick 28) as a benchmark for where Montgomery and similar players in the 3-4 turn range sit in draft order, establishing context for mid-round running back valuation.NegativeRoleNo date
Selected in eliminator tournament draft as part of a balanced roster construction focused on immediate scoring; part of a team built for head-to-head competition requiring top-half week-one finish. Selected as the tight end in an eliminator team roster that prioritizes immediate scoring; part of a constructed team alongside Jonathan Taylor, Devonte Adams, Jaylen Waddle, Sean Judkins, Jaden Daniels, Jaylen Hertz, and Mai Lemon.
