JJ Zachariason is mixing in more Trey McBride now that his ADP has fallen to the mid-to-late third round. While he prefers Loveland at cost, he warns against over-regressing McBride, who remains a solid pick at the right price.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
JJ Zachariason mentions Trey McBride as a player he is considering increasing his exposure to, noting that the mid-round tier is relatively flat.NegativeUsageAug 4, 2026
JJ Zachariason points out that Trey McBride's 2025 route volume was an outlier, running 67 more routes than any other tight end since 2011. Even if he maintains his fantasy points per route run, his total fantasy output is likely to decline due to expected regression in route volume.PositiveValueJul 9, 2026
The analyst is 'not even high on McBride at all this year versus the market' but drafted him five spots below ADP in a Scott Fishbowl league because the scoring settings favor tight ends.NegativeProjectionJul 9, 2026
McBride is scary this year because he ran so many routes last year; if his routes regressed to the second-most in the league (Travis Kelce's level), he would have scored 3.5 fewer PPR points per game based on his fantasy points per route run.NegativeProjectionJul 2, 2026
JJ Zachariason still thinks Trey McBride will be overdrafted in most drafts. Concerns stem from the Cardinals likely running fewer pass plays than last year under new coach and system, which is problematic for McBride since he wasn't phenomenal on a per-route-run basis—he ran hot in touchdowns and ran an obscene amount of routes. The reduction in pass plays could significantly impact his fantasy output.PositiveBreakoutJun 10, 2026
