Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Elic Ayomanor

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) was unable to play in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but tight end Trey McBride was still able to put up numbers while working with veteran backup Jacoby Brissett. McBride finished with eight catches on 11 targets for 72 yards and his second touchdown of the year in the 31-27 loss. He was second on the team in receiving yards on the day, but his 11 targets and eight receptions led the Cardinals in a near-upset victory on the road. The 25-year-old's eight grabs and 72 receiving yards were both season highs, giving you an idea of how much Arizona's offense has struggled in the first five weeks of the season. It's possible that Murray won't be able to play in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, either, but McBride might not skip a beat given the chemistry he showed with Brissett this weekend.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has recorded 17 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets through the first six games of his career. While the 22-year-old has yet to have a signature breakout game, Ayomanor has been a consistent feature in the Titans' offense and has earned at least five targets in five out of six games. With veteran Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) potentially facing missed time due to a hamstring injury, Ayomanor could be poised to take over as the team's WR1 in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Tennessee's anemic offense caps Ayomanor's upside, but he should still be rostered in most fantasy leagues and could be a deep-league flex option in Week 7.
