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.

Shedeur Sanders News

Shedeur Sanders Expected to Start Against Saints

Wednesday, November 4, 7:14 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints if Deshaun Watson (concussion) cannot clear protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. The expectation around the team is that Watson may have difficulty receiving clearance by Saturday, although Cleveland has not officially named a starter. Watson took a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's 27-6 loss to Pittsburgh and passed his initial evaluations before reporting delayed concussion symptoms Tuesday morning. Sanders briefly replaced him against the Steelers, completing both passes for two yards. The 24-year-old started seven games as a rookie in 2025, throwing for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. His limited NFL production makes him a risky fantasy option outside Superflex leagues, while a potential quarterback change introduces uncertainty for Harold Fannin Jr., Denzel Boston, and KC Concepcion Jr.
