Trey McBride's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is arguably the No. 1 overall tight end play in fantasy football in Week 16 when the Cardinals travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers. McBride is having one of the best seasons we've seen from a tight end in recent memory, and statistically, the best in Arizona in a long time. One statistical category that is lacking is touchdown production, though. McBride just broke the record for most receptions in a season (89) without a touchdown. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been vocal about getting McBride into the end zone, and they will have a good opportunity to do so in Week 16, as the Panthers are allowing the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. It's hard to find a better option at the tight end position than McBride, and he should be started in all league formats.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride set the record for most catches (87) in a single season without catching a receiving touchdown in the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots. McBride had another great performance, catching nine passes for 87 yards despite still not finding the end zone. McBride's record-setting catch came at the one-yard line, coming so close to ending the drought. Despite not being able to find the end zone through the air, McBride has still had a stellar fantasy season, ranking as a top-three tight end in fantasy football at the moment. It's hard to pinpoint one reason why McBride hasn't caught a touchdown pass this season, but with three weeks remaining in the season, there's still time to break through. The Cardinals will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and McBride will, once again, be a lock in the starting tight end spot for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (knee) was able to practice again on Friday and was removed from the final Week 15 injury report. He will suit up on Sunday when the team takes on the New England Patriots in the desert after upgrading to a full practice on Friday. McBride popped up on the injury report this week with a knee injury, but he never appeared to be in any danger of sitting out this weekend. That's music to his fantasy managers, who have been using him as a high-end TE1 all season. The 25-year-old enters Week 15 action as the TE3 in overall half-PPR fantasy scoring this year thanks to 80 catches on 106 targets for 851 yards. The fact that McBride has been a top-five fantasy TE without even scoring a single touchdown through 14 weeks just shows you how money he has been in 2024. Keep him locked into starting lineups against the Pats.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (knee) was seen practicing on Friday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. McBride has logged two straight limited sessions to open the week, and seeing him practice again on Friday is a positive sign for his ability this weekend. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the injury report later on Friday, as McBride may carry a designation into the weekend. Over the past three games, the tight end has seen at least ten targets in each contest and averaged 100 total yards per game. Before this three-game stretch, McBride only saw double-digit targets one other time this season. If McBride can play, he should be viewed as a high-end TE1 in all formats, facing a New England Patriots secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Before this dominating stretch of weeks, McBride was still very productive, averaging 61.3 yards and 5.4 receptions per game.
