Trey McBride a Coveted Dynasty Cornerstone

Sunday, May 31, 5:37 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride set the single-season tight end reception record with 126 catches in 2025, topping the previous high mark by 10 catches. Heading into 2026, he profiles right alongside the Raiders' Brock Bowers as one of two elite difference-makers at the position, and at only 26 years old, a case could be made that he's worthy of a late first-round pick even in non-tight end premium dynasty startups. While Arizona's offense projects to look different than the one that closed the 2025 season throwing the ball at a near-historic rate, his 29.6% target share and 1,146 yards from 2024 represent the type of floor that should allow him to thrive in nearly any offensive environment. With Bowers three years younger, he gets the edge in RotoBaller's latest rankings, but McBride is comfortably the dynasty TE2 and one of the most valuable assets in tight-end premium leagues.

Does Brenton Strange Still Need to Prove Himself in Jacksonville?

Saturday, April 25, 6:30 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange seemed like the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart this offseason, and all signs pointed to him being a strong extension candidate. However, that perception has changed following this week's NFL Draft. The Jaguars made several tight end additions in the draft, selecting Texas A&M's Nate Boerkircher at No. 56 overall and Houston's Tanner Koziol at No. 164 overall. Boerkicher has more of a blocking skill set, but he's certainly capable of catching passes, too. Meanwhile, Koizol is a true pass-catcher who should compete for targets right away. Strange is clearly still the No. 1 tight end here, but there's now less confidence in his ability to fend off competition long-term. The Jaguars sent a clear message that they want some other tight ends to get involved going forward. It's possible that Strange hit his peak last year when he averaged 9.8 fantasy points per game. When extrapolated over 17 games, that's still good enough for a top-15 finish in PPR leagues. However, the new additions certainly place a cap on his long-term upside.
