Trey McBride A Must-Start In Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:39 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had nine receptions for 75 yards on 11 targets in Week 3. Arizona's passing attack is built around getting McBride the ball. The tight end has a 32.5% first-read target share, and his 5.9 aDOT is suited to Jacoby Brissett's tendency to favor quick, short passes. McBride has hit double digits in targets and at least eight receptions in each game of 2026. Through the first three games of 2026, he is one reception and three targets from being tied for the lead in the NFL in both categories. In Week 4, the Cardinals travel to New York to face the Giants. McBride can safely be expected to have another productive day and should be in starting lineups everywhere on Sunday.

Tucker Kraft Still in Search of a Return to Form

Thursday, October 1, 9:13 AM

After opening the season with a three-catch, 65-yard performance that was good enough to make him the TE16 on the week, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has turned in back-to-back quiet outings, and he has fallen to TE32 for the year. After an ACL tear ended his breakout 2025 campaign, Kraft came into the season with rumblings of a pitch count, but he has shown no signs of limitation in handling a 79% snap share and ranking ninth among tight ends with 17 targets. Unfortunately, his chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love has been lacking, with the two connecting on only 52.9% of those targets. Kraft's two drops in three games are already one shy of his total from a season ago, and while his 10.8 yards after catch helped make him a dominant force in 2025, that number has fallen to 5.6 yards per catch on a limited 2026 sample. While he will need to prove he still belongs in the weekly TE1 discussion, Kraft has a plus matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 4 and is RotoBaller's TE10.
