Trey McBride Continues to Produce at an Elite Level in Week 8

Sunday, November 1, 7:30 PM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught seven of his eight targets for 72 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 8 overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys. McBride caught four passes during his scoring drive alone, which helped pull the Cardinals within three points of Dallas late in the fourth quarter. The 26-year-old has now posted double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in each of his eight games this season, and he ranks as the overall TE1 in total scoring this season. The Cardinals' offense has shown that it can put up a fight in any given week, which has allowed McBride to maintain steady volume and production through the first half of the season. He has a tough stretch of schedule coming up against the Seahawks, Rams, and Chiefs, but he should continue to be started as a high-end TE1 in all fantasy leagues.

Ladd McConkey News

A Healthy Ladd McConkey Looking to Get Going Coming Off Bye Week

Saturday, October 31, 9:19 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey is off the injury report after participating fully in practice all week leading up to Week 8. McConkey has been trapped in a loop of unrelated, bad-luck injuries this season. The young star has battled cracked ribs, a foot injury, and a concussion in seven games. His Week 7 bye hopefully gave his body enough time to heal and return to full strength. McConkey enters Week 8 as RotoBaller's PPR WR30 in a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams defense has allowed the second-lowest yards per pass attempt (6), third-lowest completion percentage (58%), and the fifth-fewest passing yards this season (1,351). However, McConkey is the focal point of the offense, and he could see enough volume to be fantasy-viable on Sunday despite the tough matchup. Managers should view McConkey as a shaky WR3 and a flex option in Week 8.
