Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Brenton Strange

Sunday, December 14, 5:17 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had a historic day in the Week 15 loss against the Houston Texans, recording 12 catches for 134 yards with two touchdowns on 13 targets. McBride became the first tight end in NFL history with at least 100 receptions in consecutive seasons, and set a new NFL record for most consecutive games, 16, with at least five receptions. Travis Kelce had previously set the record in 2018 with 15 straight games, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. McBride's Week 15 performance is further magnified by his dominance against one of the best defenses in the NFL, highlighting his historic play in 2025. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 105 receptions for 1,071 yards and 10 touchdowns on 140 targets across 14 games this season. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the number one tight end in fantasy football by a healthy margin. Arizona will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange had a down week in Week 15, recording just one catch for 26 yards on three targets against the New York Jets. However, the 24-year-old had earned 15 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is playing some of his best football in recent weeks, throwing for 1,059 passing yards and 12 touchdowns over his last four outings. With the Jacksonville passing game finding its groove, Strange should have opportunities for high-value targets every week. The Jaguars have a difficult matchup in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos before a more favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. For fantasy managers in leagues with 12 or more teams in need of help at the tight end position, Strange could be a solid streaming option to target on the waiver wire.
