2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Catches third TD Sunday
TEArizona Cardinals
January 7, 2024
McBride had three receptions on six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
McBride finished his breakout fantasy campaign on a high note by catching the only touchdown Kyler Murray threw against the Seahawks on Sunday. The second-year tight end saw huge jumps in usage after Week 1 starter Zach Ertz (quadriceps) landed on season-ending IR in Week 7. McBride took advantage of the opportunity and rattled off 69 receptions, 655 yards and all three of his touchdowns over the ensuing 10 games as the No. 1 option. That is a healthy enough snapshot to get an idea of the impact McBride could have in the shallow fantasy tight end pool in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Close to franchise record
TEArizona Cardinals
December 13, 2023
McBride is one catch away from setting the Cardinals' franchise record for most receptions by a tight end in a season, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
McBride started the season as the backup tight end to Zach Ertz, but the former saw his snap count tick upwards midway through the season and eventually took over the starting job while Ertz was on injured reserve. The second-year tight end has drawn at least seven targets in five of his last six appearances and is up to 56 catches for 610 yards and two touchdowns on the season. Barring any significant injury-related setback, McBride should capture the franchise tight end receiving record at some point in Sunday's game against the 49ers.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.
