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

Tuesday, November 4, 12:51 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught five of his nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win against the Dallas Cowboys. McBride has now caught four touchdowns in three games with Jacoby Brissett as the starter, compared to three touchdowns in 22 games with Kyler Murray as the starter since last season. The 25-year-old superstar also became the first tight end in NFL history to record at least five receptions in the first eight games of a season. McBride racks up a ton of volume underneath and is one of the best YAC threats at the position, plus Brissett seems to be unlocking his ability in the red zone. McBride will again rank as a top two tight end option for Arizona's Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Ja'Tavion Sanders has been a complete afterthought in the Panthers' passing attack all season. In five games played, Sanders has just 14 receptions for 111 yards and is averaging 5.0 PPR fantasy points per game. Last week against the Buffalo Bills, Sanders caught all three of his targets for only 19 yards and 4.9 PPR fantasy points. This week, Carolina will face the Green Bay Packers, who allow 17.93 fantasy points against tight ends, ranking 30th of all NFL teams this year. Even though the matchup looks favorable, Sanders hasn't delivered enough to be worthy of any fantasy consideration. Bryce Young is back after missing last week's game due to an ankle injury, which can help Carolina's passing offense, but Sanders still likely won't contribute enough for fantasy purposes. Although this is an excellent matchup for tight ends, Sanders is not rosterable outside of Dynasty leagues, and his appeal in that format is dwindling.
