Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Trey McBride

Saturday, August 16, 11:36 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play their starters on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, head coach Liam Coen announced. It's unclear how much playing time quarterback Trevor Lawrence & Co. will receive. Lawrence completed 6-of-7 passes for 43 yards in a preseason-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Running backs Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten tied for the team lead in carries (six) and yards (24) during the opener. They've been in a battle for touches in training camp with Travis Etienne Jr., who's listed as a co-starter with Bigsby on the team's unofficial depth chart. Meanwhile, at wide receiver, two-way star rookie Travis Hunter (upper body) may sit out with an upper-body injury. Coen hasn't said whether the Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick will play.

The Arizona Cardinals are making Pro Bowl tight end Trey McBride the highest-paid tight end in NFL history with a four-year, $76 million contract extension on Thursday, according to his agents. The deal includes $43 million guaranteed and a $19 million average per year, which is the highest ever for any NFL tight end. The 25-year-old former second-rounder (55th overall) in 2022 out of Colorado State was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2024 while setting career-highs in receptions (111), targets (147), receiving yards (1,146) in 16 games. Despite only finding the end zone two times, McBride still finished as the TE2 in standard scoring in his third year in the league, with his 111 catches falling just one short of Brock Bowers' 112 for the league lead. He should score more in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, making him an elite TE1 target for fantasy managers.
