2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Brings in all six targets Sunday
TEArizona Cardinals
September 15, 2024
McBride corralled all six of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams. He also scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter.
ANALYSIS
The Cardinals dominated this contest from start to finish. The fact that McBride finished as the squad's second-leading receiver in a run-heavy game script bodes well for the starter's fantasy prospects this season. The 2022 second-round pick has quietly provided 11 receptions for 97 yards through two games in his first season as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. McBride provides fantasy managers with a safe option at a generally shallow position with some added upside as both his game and this young offense develop over the course of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.

First-time Pro Bowler in 2024?
TEArizona Cardinals
June 23, 2024
Conor Orr of SI.com projects McBride as one of 10 players to receive their first Pro Bowl nomination in 2024.
ANALYSIS
After Zach Ertz went on the injured list Week 7, McBride stepped into a bigger role in the passing game. He was a reliable target for quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs and Kyler Murray, and over the last 10 games of the regular season, McBride caught 66 passes on 85 targets for 655 yards and three touchdowns. His 81 receptions for 825 yards ended up leading all Arizona pass catchers last season, and with 2024 first-round wide receiver Marvin Harrison set to draw plenty of attention from opposing defenses, McBride should have more space to operate in the passing game.
