Trey McBride has established himself as a reliable fantasy tight end, finishing in the top-six for over 50% of his games last season. The Arizona Cardinals' consistent coaching staff and offensive roster suggest that this trend will continue in 2025. McBride's performance improved significantly after taking over the starting role, averaging 15.0 fantasy points per game after Zach Ertz's injury. With an impressive receiving grade and solid metrics, he led tight ends in receptions per game and receptions per route last season.

Despite a low average depth of target, McBride remains a potent asset in short passing situations, and there is potential for him to improve his touchdown count this season. Kyler Murray's continued partnership with McBride offers a stable platform for his success, making him one of the safest picks for fantasy enthusiasts.
