Who Should I Start? Trey McBride or Michael Mayer

Saturday, November 22, 1:47 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride enters Week 12 as RotoBaller's No. 1 overall-ranked tight end and holds tier one to himself. The 26-year-old has set the fantasy world on fire again with back-to-back 27-plus point performances and No. 1 overall finishes. McBride will once again be the focal point of the passing game with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) missing his second straight game after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis. Heading into Week 12, McBride will face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns this season. McBride has caught at least one touchdown pass in his previous five games and has six total touchdowns during that stretch. McBride is a set-it-and-forget-it TE1 with massive upside heading into Sunday in a favorable matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayer hasn't been able to practice all week due to a lingering ankle issue. Head coach Pete Carroll said Mayer wasn't moving well, so it seems unlikely that Mayer is going to suit up. His absence won't be too significant with Brock Bowers healthy at the moment. Carter Runyon is likely to see more run behind Bowers, but he won't be worth a look in fantasy formats. It remains to be seen if Mayer will be healthy enough to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 14.
