Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Brenton Strange

Saturday, October 18, 11:36 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride posted season highs in fantasy points and position finish in Week 6 with Jacoby Brissett under center. His value particularly shines in PPR formats, especially after receiving 11 targets in that matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. In Week 7, he'll go up against the Green Bay Packers, who are ranked 30th against tight ends so far this season. They're giving up an average of 17.4 fantasy points per game to the position and have allowed a touchdown in three of their five games. McBride is already Kyler Murray's (questionable - foot) favorite target, and he produced a great game with Brissett, so he remains in the mix for the TE1 overall yet again.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps), who leads the team in catches through five weeks, is dealing with a hip and quad injury that includes a ligament tear, sources tell Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Strange suffered the injury in the Monday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Schultz said it's his understanding that Strange doesn't need surgery, but he will be out at least five weeks. It could have been worse, but Jacksonville is going to be without its top TE for a while. The 24-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week, which means he'll be out at least four games. Strange was having a nice start to the year before his injury, catching 20 passes for 204 yards, although he hadn't found the end zone. In his absence, the Jags will look to both Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt for production at the TE position. Fantasy managers should be able to find better TE2 streamers elsewhere.
