Despite initial skepticism about a 5'8" deep threat as a WR1, McBride has emerged as a legitimate WR3 tier asset. Recorded 12 targets and a 100-yard game; currently ranks WR20 in yards per game, WR21 in fantasy points per game, and WR22 in expected fantasy points per game. The source notes he's worth rostering even with skepticism baked in and represents a productive flex fill-in option despite recent shutdown games by the Buccaneers. McBride is also noted as a good fit for Kirk Cousins' offense.
NegativeProjectionOct 26, 2026Mattek Fantasy Football
Trey McBride finished as the tight end 1 for Week 7, but Mattek cautions that much of his production came in garbage time and warns against overvaluing him based on a bad quarterback (Jacobe Brassette) and limited overall team scoring. The source emphasizes: "It's very very important to differentiate between garbage time McBride numbers and who Jacobe Brassette is. Jacobe Brassette is a bad NFL quarterback." McBride's TE1 finish does not guarantee sustained top-tier production if the Cardinals' offensive output remains constrained. Additionally, McBride's dominance in the Cardinals' passing game limits fantasy points available for teammates; if McBride is taking all the scoring opportunities on a low-scoring offense, there's significantly less left on the table for other receivers like Michael Wilson.

McBride posted a season-high 27.1 fantasy points on National Tight Ends Day with 10 catches, 111 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets. He has seen double-digit targets in five of six games and has nine in the other, posting double-digit fantasy points every game. He is one of the safest plays each week and is in a tier with only Brock Bowers at TE; he is a must-start each week, especially in favorable matchups such as Week 8 against Dallas.
