The Arizona Cardinals fall to Tampa Bay Buccaneers but big day for quarterback Jacoby Brissett and Trey McBride.
As the Arizona Cardinals fall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quarterback Jacoby Brissett delivers another strong outing, posting his third straight game over 300-yard performance, with two touchdowns and one interception. Arizona’s run game mustered just 95 rushing yards, with Bam Knight accounting for 62 of them. Knight also added 3 receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown, giving him a productive fantasy day.
Marvin Harrison Jr. returned to the lineup after missing two games due to an appendectomy, finishing with 6 catches for 69 yards. His return brought fellow wideout Michael Wilson back to earth; after having back-to-back 100 yards games, Wilson managed only 3 receptions for 36 yards. Tight end Trey McBride, the TE1 on the season, once again led all Arizona pass catchers with 8 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown, continuing his elite fantasy production.

Arizona tight end Trey McBride is the NFL’s TE1 while floundering amidst the Cardinals’ 3-7 season
The Arizona Cardinals got run out of their own stadium on Sunday, despite the best efforts of Jacoby Brissett’s connections with Michael Wilson and star pass-catcher Trey McBride.
Tight end McBride finished the game having tallied 10 catches (11 targets) for 115 yards. He added a trip to the endzone even as the Cardinals fell 41-22 to the visiting 49ers (7-4). It was just another day at the office for the tight end, who added a second-straight 100-yard performance to his season resume. More improbably, after accounting for just six touchdowns the previous three seasons combined, he notched his sixth touchdown in his last five games in 2025, giving him seven on the season.
In all likelihood, McBride will finish the week as TE1 (Jake Ferguson and Brock Bowers yet to play). McBride now has 71 catches on the season, a cool 15 more than any other tight end, as well as nearly 50 total fantasy points between he second place. Regardless of what happens this evening, the Colorado State product will maintain his stranglehold on the overall TE1 ranking for the season.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride dominates against the Seattle Seahawks with 127 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The Arizona Cardinals lost handily to the Seattle Seahawks but tight end Trey McBride was a lone bright spot. McBride recorded his first 100 yard game of the season and increased his touchdown total to six.
The Arizona tight end also joined elite company, becoming just the third tight end to have five or more receptions in ten consecutive games, joining Travis Kelce and Tony Gonzalez. He is also the first tight end to have five receptions in each of his first nine games to start a season.
Trey McBride is an elite tight end and despite the Cardinals struggles he will continue to be an elite tight end.

The Arizona Cardinals are extending Trey McBride, marking him the highest-paid tight end in the history of the NFL.
Trey McBride should be gleaming with his new 4-year deal worth $76 million ($43 million guaranteed), and fantasy managers should also be ecstatic. The 25-year-old has been a juggernaut the last 2 seasons, emerging as one of, if not the best, weapons at the position.
While Brock Bowers is being selected a full round ahead of McBride in both dynasty and redraft, the Cardinals tight end is the better value. McBride commanded a league-leading 29.3% target share with check-down merchant Kyler Murray last year. While both options are very comfortable picks in the early rounds, McBride’s established chemistry with his quarterback makes him a more stable option, at least in the short term.

The Arizona Cardinals star tight end Trey McBride made his first Pro Bowl for his great season.
Tight end Trey McBride was one of the few bright spots for the 2024 Arizona Cardinals. Despite only catching 2 TDs, McBride was Kyler Murray’s number one target. He totaled 111 catches and 1,146 receiving yards, which led all NFC tight ends. Those numbers were good for 2nd in both categories for all tight ends only trailing rookie phenom tight end Brock Bowers. McBride continued right were he left off last season when he took over for the injured Zach Ertz and has never looked back.
The fantasy outlook for McBride is bright for 2025, as he should be TE-2 in overall ranking in all fantasy formats. Statistical regression suggests he should have roughly 8 to 9 touchdowns next season compared to the only 2 touchdowns he had this season.

Arizona Cardinals Tight End Trey McBride will miss this Sunday’s game due to a concussion.
Arizona Cardinals will be missing one of their top weapons in tight end Trey McBride for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders. McBride had a breakout season last year after injuries tabled former Cards’ tight end Zach Ertz, from there McBride never looked back. He totaled 825 receiving yards on 81 catches and 3 touchdowns in only 12 starts. McBride’s breakout seemed to line up with quarterback Kyler Murray feeling fully healthy after returning from an ACL injury suffered in 2022. McBride was taken TE3 in most drafts so this is a blow for another top tight end who are having rough start to the season.
The top backup to McBride is Elijah Higgins, who has a very similar athletic profile to McBride. Higgins has a 84th percentile burst score compared to McBride’s 47th percentile. Higgins only has 4 catches in three games although one of them was a touchdown on a crazy scramble and throw from Murray. If you are desperate for a waiver pick up, McBride’s direct back up in Higgins may not be a bad option.
