Trey McBride News
Saturday, October 24, 2:17 AM
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride's streak of games with double-digit targets came to an end last week. McBride fell one short of extending the streak to a sixth game to start the season, getting nine targets against the Rams in Week 6. Arizona's heavy reliance on McBride has made him one of the league's most productive pass-catchers. He ranks third among all players with 65 targets and is tied with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the league lead in receptions, with 49. McBride can be expected to function as the Cardinals' top receiver once again in Week 7. The Broncos have not given much ground against tight ends, but George Kittle showed they can be beaten with his 70-yard, one-TD performance against them in Week 4. McBride has pushed himself into must-start territory, regardless of the matchup. Make sure to lock him into lineups for Week 7.

Zay Flowers News
Saturday, October 24, 8:04 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been great so far heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. In the five games he has played, he has posted double-digit half-PPR points in each one. The 26-year-old receiver is the clear top target and has been efficient, catching at least 80 percent of his targets, except for last week's loss. With Lamar Jackson missing the last two games but potentially returning this week, his efficiency should return to that 80 percent level while also maintaining his average of 10 targets per game from the last three weeks. Top Bengals cornerback DJ Turner has been a nuisance to opposing WR1s this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be deterred by that given the combination of Lamar's potential return and Flowers's consistent volume. The floor might be slightly lower than usual, especially if Lamar doesn't end up playing, but fantasy managers should feel good about starting Flowers in Week 7.
