Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Jamari Thrash

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.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who caught only three passes as a rookie in 2024 after being taken in the fifth round, took advantage of opportunities in an unproven receiver room during offseason workouts and established himself as a reliable option in the passing game. "He's had a really strong spring," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is here all the time working on his body. Very intelligent player, can line up in multiple positions which I think is valuable. And then he showed up, he's caught the ball well and you know the quarterbacks like how he gets open. He finds a way to get open versus zone, versus man." Since the 24-year-old isn't really an option on special teams, he's going to need to continue standing out in training camp and the preseason to win a spot on the 53-man roster heading into the regular season.
