Trey McBride Kicks Off TE1 Campaign On Sunday

Saturday, September 12, 6:10 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride's success in 2025 made him not only the most productive player at his position, but one of the top receivers overall. McBride's 1,239 receiving yards ranked sixth in the NFL, and his 126 receptions trailed only league-leader Puka Nacua's 129. With Michael Wilson's rise in 2025 and Marvin Harrison Jr. healthy to start 2026, McBride might not reach the same season-long heights that he did last year, but he will still operate as Arizona's primary receiver and be a top option at tight end every week. His first game to make a mark is coming on Sunday against the Chargers. Los Angeles gave up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, but McBride's role in the Cardinals' offense makes him a must-start in Week 1.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News

Marvin Harrison Jr. Barely Touches the Ball in Win

Sunday, September 13, 4:39 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. did not give fantasy managers much to cheer about during Sunday's season opener versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Harrison made a nice 33-yard catch, and that was the only thing he did during the entire game. Fantasy managers were hopeful that things would turn around for Harrison in 2026. It's not starting great as he finished fifth on the team in targets with three during Sunday's victory. Somehow, rookie running back Jeremiyah Love finished with more targets than Harrison, who is a former fourth overall draft pick. Fantasy managers shouldn't give up after one game, but Harrison is probably safer used as a flex option until he proves that he can make more than one catch per game.
