McBride’s role remains notable yet secondary to Harrison Jr.; should be considered a solid contributor with red-zone opportunities but not primary target.

McBride’s Week 1 workload supports a solid floor and upside in a pass-heavy Arizona game plan, making him a reliable stacking partner with Murray and Harrison Jr.

Trey McBride is highlighted as a strong +140 WR TD scorer option against a Panthers defense that allowed multiple TDs to tight ends last season, with Harrison Jr. expected to anchor targets in ARI’s aerial attack.

McBride totaled 61 yards on six receptions as a clear top target at tight end, contributing in the intermediate game and red zone. Week 1 established him as a primary TE option, offering reliable target volume in a growing passing attack.

McBride headlines the value TE pool, coming off 111 catches last season and projected for heavy volume again. With red-zone usage and a favorable matchup, his Week 1 role supports solid ceiling in tournaments and a reliable floor in cash games.
