Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Elic Ayomanor

Sunday, November 30, 9:41 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride continued his run of dominant play in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 88 receptions for 879 yards and eight touchdowns on 118 targets across 12 games played this season. McBride's numbers have been particularly eye-popping since quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over for the injured Kyler Murray (foot) in Arizona. Across Brissett's seven starts, McBride is averaging 8.4 receptions and 86.3 receiving yards on 10.9 targets per game. He's also scored seven touchdowns in that span. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the number one tight end in fantasy football. Arizona will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will have more opportunities the rest of the way with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the year. The assumption was that this would increase his fantasy value. However, Ayomanor hasn't been able to take advantage yet. In fact, Ayomanor has only hauled in three of his 11 targets for 16 yards in his last two games. Unfortunately, the rookie wideout just isn't on the same page as rookie quarterback Cameron Ward right now. The only positive here is that Ayomanor has seen five or more targets in each of his last six games. The hope is that these two will build chemistry together, but fantasy managers don't have time to wait. The fantasy playoffs are looming, so managers cannot afford to get another dud. At this point, Ayomanor is a solid dynasty stash, but he isn't someone that can be trusted in starting lineups in 12-team redraft formats against a tough Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14.
