Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Saturday, November 15, 11:32 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride should continue to handle a heavy workload, especially after the team announced that Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) is ruled out for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Harrison is a talented playmaker who is capable of making catches in coverage, which is similar to McBride's skill set. As a result, when Jacoby Brissett needs a receiver to make a physical or contested catch, he'll likely trust McBride more than some of the other wide receivers, such as Michael Wilson or Greg Dortch. McBride is already the TE1 in PPR scoring this year, catching 61 passes for 603 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a chance to build on his strong campaign this Sunday against the 49ers. He remains a must-start fantasy tight end, especially against a 49ers defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.

Ja'Tavion Sanders had his best game since Week 2 vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, although the numbers were still mediocre. The Carolina tight end had five receptions, 32 yards, and registered 8.2 PPR Fantasy Points. Carolina's Week 11 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons presents a nightmare scenario statistically for Sanders. The Falcons rank second in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed against the TE position this season. Atlanta is one of only three teams in the league to give up only one receiving TD to TEs while also surrendering the second-fewest receiving yards (275) to the position this year. With one of the worst matchups for his position, Sanders should be ignored by fantasy players who are looking for a TE to stream this week.
