Nobody made bigger strides offensively for the Cardinals last season than McBride. After five games in 2023, the Colorado State alum had eight receptions for 79 yards and no touchdowns. He'd finish his second NFL campaign with 81 catches, 825 yards, and three scores. In the eight games he played with Murray, McBride posted a 53-538-2 line; if you project that over a 17-game schedule, that works out to 113 receptions, 1,143 yards, and 4.25 TDs.
Injuries played a part in McBride's rise to be sure -- Brown, the team's No. 1 receiver, didn't catch a pass after Nov. 26 -- and the arrival of Harrison as what the Cardinals hope will be a true WR1 puts a slight damper on the third-year tight end's outlook. Still, other than Harrison, none of Arizona's receiving options look as promising as McBride, and despite an influx of talent at the position around the NFL, it's hard not to view him as a top-five fantasy tight end for 2024.

Trey McBride Out Week 4 with a concussion Cardinals down a pass catcher against Commanders By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 27, 11:59 am

FFToday's Take: McBride is second on the team in targets (21) so this will be a big loss for Arizona and fantasy owners. Backup tight ends Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman played a similar amount of snaps last week but Reiman is still looking for his first target of the season. Higgins is the better fantasy option if you're looking for a fill-in.
