ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Los Angeles Rams
It didn't turn into many fantasy points, but McBride quickly led the team with nine Week 1 targets. Though we do expect far more involvement out of his rookie WR teammate, he is still locked into a top-5 ranking ahead of Week 2 and should continue to see a ton of involvement, even if he falls into the No. 2 pass-catching role in Arizona.

ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 @ Buffalo Bills
With how massive McBride's target total was in the second half of last season (six games with 8+), we could see that drop quite a bit and still keep him locked in as a consistent, high-end TE1 option in 2024. There's also a far better projectable touchdown outcome after he scored only three last season. The offense as a whole will look like a whole new team with a deeper set of skill position players and a healthy Kyler Murray, which bolsters McBride's bottom line and makes him a top-five or six option right out of the gate.

ARI TE Trey McBride - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Trey McBride started out the 2023 season yet again behind veteran Zach Ertz, earning less than 35 yards in six of his first seven games. The gloves were off after the veteran went down though, with the sophomore TE logging a 14-target Week 8 and going on to finish the rest of the season as fantasy's overall TE4. The progress blocker is now out of town, and McBride has a chance to stick near the top of the league's TE target share after commanding a whopping 25.8% mark after Ertz's departure from the lineup. Even regressing around a 20% share would make him one of the most-targeted options in the NFL.

Fantasy Downside
The Cardinals spent the fourth overall selection on a pass-catcher (Marvin Harrison Jr.) and another RB weapon in the third round of the NFL Draft. Though the team lost Hollywood Brown in free agency, Harrison offers Kyler Murray a consistent target in all areas of the field and is more or less guaranteed to take a chunk out of McBride's dominant target share. How much of last season's production was McBride earning looks, and how much of it was a lack of above-average options at the quarterbacks' disposal?

2024 Bottom Line
With how massive McBride's target total was in the second half of last season (six games with 8+), we could see that drop quite a bit and still keep him locked in as a consistent, high-end TE1 option in 2024. There's also a far better projectable touchdown outcome after he scored only three last season. The offense as a whole will look like a whole new team with a deeper set of skill position players and a healthy Kyler Murray, which bolsters McBride's bottom line and makes him a top-five or six option heading into 2024.

ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Philadelphia Eagles

Trey McBride had a slow day by his standards against the Bears last week, gaining just 31 yards. Still, he caught six balls and was targeted eight times. McBride has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games and has amassed 93 targets on the season, despite not starting until October. He’s been one of the more consistent options as a fantasy tight end due to his impressive usage in the offense.

This week, McBride faces a Philadelphia defense that ranks 20th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Expect another busy day for the second-year standout out of Colorado State, with plenty of targets and upside in all leagues. We have him ranked as a quality TE1 option. Start him.

ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Chicago Bears

Trey McBride had another nice game last week against the 49ers, catching 10 of his 11 targets for 102 yards. McBride is by far the most-targeted player in Arizona right now and he has double-digit PPR points in five of his last seven games. McBride only has two touchdowns on the season, but his usage has been good enough to keep him among the elite players at his position, even without finding the end zone.

This week, McBride faces a Chicago defense that ranks ninth in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Regardless of matchup, the targets he’s getting make him a must-start at the position. McBride has been one of the best waiver-wire pickups of the season, and fantasy managers lucky enough to acquire him should continue starting him this week.

ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Trey McBride had another great game against the Steelers before the bye last week. He was targeted nine times for the second straight week, catching eight balls for 89 yards and a touchdown. McBride only has two touchdowns on the season, but he has at least seven catches and at least 60 yards in three of his last four outings.

This week, McBride faces a San Francisco defense that ranks second in aFPA to opposing tight ends. It’s a tough matchup for him, but the targets he’s been getting make him a must-start regardless of the opponent. We have him ranked inside our top five tight ends this week.

ARI TE Trey McBride - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Trey McBride was once again a bright spot in this offense last week, despite a blowout loss to the Rams. He finished with 60 yards on seven receptions and was targeted nine times. McBride has 25 targets over the last three games since Kyler Murray returned to the field, and his upside is sky high for the remainder of the season.

This week, McBride faces a Pittsburgh defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. McBride’s targets and emergence as a top fantasy option at the position make him a must-start regardless of matchup at this point. He’s one of the best waiver wire pickups on the season, and he should be active in all leagues. Start him.
