McBride

•

The main concern for McBride is that Arizona also selected wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the draft. McBride was targeted on 25.9% of his routes last season. Harrison will be replacing Marquise Brown, who was targeted on 20.4% of his routes. Harrison is expected to see a 5-10 percentage-point increase compared to Brown, so at least some of those targets will likely come from McBride.

There are plenty of examples of elite wide receivers and tight ends thriving together in fantasy football. From the past three seasons, that includes Travis Kelce with Tyreek Hill, George Kittle with Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel Sr., T.J. Hockenson with Justin Jefferson, and Rob Gronkowski with Mike Evans. This may help McBride because he won’t be double-covered as often, which is the one situation in which he has struggled more than most tight ends.

McBride is capable of finishing as the overall TE1 this season if he simply keeps playing as well as he did in 2023 with Murray at quarterback. The only concerns are how many targets Harrison Jr. will take away from him and that McBride’s great play has come on a relatively small sample size.
