Trey McBride Remains A Must-Start Despite Difficult Defense

Saturday, October 17, 12:23 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught nine passes for 66 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets in Week 5. It was the fifth consecutive game that McBride reached double digits in targets, and he is just one behind Amon-Ra St. Brown's 57 for the most in the NFL. That volume should keep him in play in Week 6, despite a matchup against the Rams, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points, receptions, and receiving yards to tight ends so far this season. In a similarly difficult matchup against the 49ers in Week 3, McBride brought in nine catches for 75 yards on 11 targets, good enough to finish as the overall TE8 in PPR scoring. Los Angeles has allowed four end zone targeted touchdowns to slot receivers (where McBride lines up on 67.2% of routes), which may improve McBride's chances for another score this weekend. Despite the opponent, McBride still projects as a TE1 and is a must-start in Week 6.

Brenton Strange News

Brenton Strange a Good Bet for Week 6 and Beyond?

Saturday, October 17, 10:29 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has commanded a vastly superior target share over his past two appearances, making him an appealing streaming candidate ahead of a divisional bout with the Houston Texans. Strange began the campaign with seven receptions on ten targets (72 yards) through the first three games and was officially off the radar for fantasy. However, a combined 14/163 line on back-to-back eight-target outings is enough to raise an eyebrow. Furthermore, the Penn State product leads all Jaguars pass catchers over that stretch in each major receiving category, excluding touchdowns. It's an intriguing development for Strange, and he's aided by a matchup against a Houston defense that has yet to put it all together in 2026. Fantasy managers on the search for assistance at tight end can turn to the 25-year-old this Sunday, and if he posts another similar outing to his previous two, he could be worth holding through the team's Week 7 bye.
