Should Dynasty Rebuilders Consider Selling High on Trey McBride?

Wednesday, June 24, 8:10 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride put together a dominant campaign in 2025, recording 126 receptions for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns on 169 targets across 17 games. The 26-year-old has emerged as a PPR-points scoring machine over the past two seasons, averaging 9.6 targets and 7.2 receptions per game since the start of 2024. Entering 2026, there's little doubt that McBride remains an elite tight end option for fantasy managers. However, dynasty managers may want to at least consider selling ultra-high on McBride. For one, McBride benefited from the Cardinals' abnormally high pass volume once Jacoby Brissett took over as the quarterback in 2025. While Brissett is back as the starter for 2026, Arizona has a new play-caller in Mike LaFleur and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on running back Jeremiyah Love. Additionally, McBride's 11 touchdowns last season may be an outlier, as he recorded just six touchdown catches over the first 49 games of his NFL career. It would need to be a massive haul, but dynasty rebuilders with McBride on their roster may want to explore a trade.

Rome Odunze News

Is Rome Odunze Undervalued in Redraft Leagues Entering 2026?

Saturday, June 27, 11:10 AM

Across 12 games in 2025, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) recorded 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns on 90 targets. The 24-year-old's campaign was disrupted by a late-season foot injury that forced him to miss the final five games of the regular season. Odunze was able to return for Chicago's two postseason contests, but he mentioned during OTAs that he's still dealing with lingering effects of the foot ailment. While Odunze's injury concerns are unquestionably worrisome, it may also be creating a buy-low window for fantasy managers. Following Chicago's offseason trade of wideout DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, Odunze appears to be the WR1 in an improving Bears offense. However, he's currently coming off the board as the WR28 by average draft position in redraft leagues. Odunze's profile has risk, but his upside may be worth gambling on in 2026.
