Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Calvin Austin III

Saturday, October 4, 12:50 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has been the clear number one option in the passing game for Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray so far in 2025. Through four games, McBride has recorded 24 catches for 234 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. The 25-year-old has a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's defense ranks in the bottom 10 in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.4), and Titans opponents are averaging 30 points per game. In Week 5, McBride is a must-start fantasy tight end.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. Austin III suffered the injury in Week 4, so it's not a great sign that it's still keeping him out of practice with Pittsburgh coming off a Week 5 bye. The 26-year-old has recorded 10 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets in four games so far this season. If Austin III is unable to play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, Steelers wideouts Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, and Scotty Miller could all see an uptick in snaps. However, the only Steelers wide receiver that should be on the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6 against Cleveland remains DK Metcalf.
