Trey McBride Still A Must-Start In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 3:16 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has been one of the best bets in fantasy football this year. Through the first nine games of 2026, he is averaging 18.1 PPR points per game, leads the league in receptions (73), and has the third most targets (94). McBride, who already has a 28.6% target share, could be in line for more work with the recent season-ending injuries to Michael Wilson (neck) and Kendrick Bourne (leg). In Week 10, McBride faces an uphill battle to match his usual success. Arizona will be hosting the Rams, who allow the seventh-fewest PPR points per game to tight ends and have given up just one tight end to the position thus far. Additionally, he will be catching passes from rookie quarterback Carson Beck, who will be facing down Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett (knee) in his NFL debut. Despite the challenges, McBride is still a must-start at tight end in Week 10.

AJ Barner Not a Fantasy Starter Despite Big Week 9

Friday, November 13, 3:01 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (finger) is not on the starting radar in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Barner scored 15 fantasy points in Week 9 because he scored two touchdowns. However, one of those touchdowns came on the ground, which is a very unpredictable stat for a tight end. Barner's receiving volume remained low, as he only logged two receptions for seven yards and a touchdown. As long as Barner's volume remains that low, he will be extremely touchdown-dependent. Given the way Seattle utilizes Barner's skillset, he is a threat to score any time they enter the red zone, but with running back Zach Charbonnet back to full health, even those opportunities could wane. It is not advisable to chase the spike week. Instead, keep an eye on Barner's usage in the coming weeks to see if he receives an uptick. Otherwise, leave Barner on waivers.
