Arizona Cardinals
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After taking roughly a season and a half to acclimate, McBride has now delivered elite production for an equal stretch of time, dating back to mid-2023. His 111 catches and 1,146 receiving yards in 2024 were second most among TEs, behind only Brock Bowers, with McBride continuing his torrid pace from the final 10 games of 2023 (66 catches for 655 yards). The lone drawback in 2024 was a lack of receiving touchdowns (two, plus a third rushing) despite ranking second in the NFL with 22 red-zone targets. He has just six TDs among his 221 career receptions, but he did score in Weeks 17 and 18 of last season. The usage hints at potential for a big jump forward in TDs, even with WR Marvin Harrison providing solid competition for Kyler Murray's red-zone targets. Among tight ends, only Bowers has a similar volume ceiling, with McBride's 147 targets last year being the sixth-highest total among TEs over the past 12 seasons. He'll likely take a slight step back from last season’s average of 9.2 targets per game, especially if Harrison makes a second-year leap to stardom, but that might also be a scenario in which Arizona's offense improves and sets up McBride for more TDs.

Extends TD streak to five games

November 16, 2025
McBride finished with 10 receptions on 11 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
McBride continued his ridiculous hot streak by hitting pay dirt in his fifth straight contest while also recording his second consecutive 100-yard game. The 25-year-old somehow did not finish as the Cardinals' leading receiver, as that honor went to WR Michael Wilson (15-185-0) in a game during which QB Jacoby Brissett set an NFL regular-season record with 47 completed passes in a single game. McBride has been a fantasy beast in 2025, generating 71 receptions, 718 yards and seven touchdowns for managers across 10 starts. The Colorado State product will look to extend his scoring streak to six games against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
McBride had just 265 receiving yards as a rookie but emerged as one of the league’s most productive tight ends in the second half of 2023. Veteran tight end Zach Ertz hurt his quadriceps Week 7 and didn’t play for Arizona again, opening the door for the 2022 second-round pick to catch 66 of 85 targets for 655 yards and three touchdowns over the final 10 games. Prorated to 17 games, those numbers work out to 112 catches for 1,114 receiving yards and five TDs on 145 targets, which would've made McBride the TE leader for targets and yardage last year. He should have a bit more competition for Kyler Murray's attention with No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison replacing Marquise Brown as the No. 1 receiver and Zay Jones adding depth, but it mostly looks the Cardinals are counting on McBride and the rookie to carry their passing game. Few TEs across the NFL, if any, have a higher volume ceiling than McBride, who caught five or more passes in seven of the eight games Murray started last year.
McBride became the first tight end taken in the 2022 NFL Draft when Arizona selected him out of Colorado State with the 55th overall pick. After racking up 1,121 receiving yards in his final college season, the 6-foot-4 tight end began his NFL career in a depth role but ascended to the top of the depth chart after Zach Ertz tore his ACL in Week 10. In the seven-game stretch from Week 11 onward, McBride caught 25 of 35 passes for 234 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Ertz’s rehab may stretch into the 2023 season, so McBride could pick up where he left off as the starter for an Arizona team that’s expected to be playing from behind much of the time but might struggle to move the ball if QB Kyler Murray is absent or limited as he works his way back from his own ACL tear.
Drafted 55th overall out of Colorado State this year, McBride’s expected to compete with Maxx Williams for snaps behind Zach Ertz in Arizona. Learning behind one of the best pass-catching tight ends of recent years could help McBride long term, but it also means targets and snaps will be hard to come by as a rookie, especially after the Cardinals used multiple tight ends on only 25 percent of offensive snaps last year. That number may go up now, but McBride’s short-term fantasy situation is still far from ideal. There is some potential for production if Ertz misses time, considering McBride ran a 4.56 40 at his pro day after catching 90 passes for 1,121 yards his final collegeiate season (albeit with only one touchdown). Despite the lack of red-zone production, McBride was the only tight end taken in the first two rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Primed for large workload Week 11
TEArizona Cardinals
November 15, 2025
With Marvin Harrison and Zay Jones ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an appendectomy and an Achilles injury, respectively, McBride has an opportunity to star against a San Francisco defense that has given up the third most touchdowns to tight ends this season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wagoner notes that the loss of Fred Warner for the season due to a dislocated and fractured ankle has made the 49ers' defense more susceptible against tight ends. Couple that with Jacoby Brissett starting at quarterback for a fifth straight game and Harrison being sidelined, and that gives McBride a prime opportunity to continue his strong season. In the four games since Brissett took over as the Cardinals' starting QB, McBride has caught 32 passes on 46 targets for 328 yards and five touchdowns.
