Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The only real caution is the 11 touchdowns, which more than quintupled his 2024 total of two and won't fully repeat. Even halved, his receiving profile keeps him in the elite tier, and his 33 red-zone targets argue he'll stay involved near the goal line. A new coaching staff and added backfield investment could trim Arizona's league-leading pass volume, but no tight end pairs this target share with this efficiency. Behind him on the depth chart: Elijah Higgins. Full outlook

Trey McBride Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy TE1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE1 last season at 18.6 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE1 at 19.7 PPR points per game, against 18.6 over 17 games last season (TE1). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 2nd of 81 in route participation (94.1%), 1st of 82 in target share (27.4%) and 6th of 82 in efficiency (1.86 yards per route run). His points come from his target share. Jacoby Brissett is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Elijah Higgins is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Lions in Week 5 (1st against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
McBride isn't a tight end so much as a featured No. 1 receiver who happens to line up inline. He posted a 27.4% target share on 169 looks in 2025, ran a route on 94.1% of dropbacks, and turned that volume into 126 catches for 1,239 yards. The underlying efficiency backs the workload: a 0.436 EPA per play, a 60.4% success rate, and just two drops on 128 catchable balls. He's been a target magnet for three straight years, and at 25 the usage floor is rock solid.
The only real caution is the 11 touchdowns, which more than quintupled his 2024 total of two and won't fully repeat. Even halved, his receiving profile keeps him in the elite tier, and his 33 red-zone targets argue he'll stay involved near the goal line. A new coaching staff and added backfield investment could trim Arizona's league-leading pass volume, but no tight end pairs this target share with this efficiency. Draft him as the position's clear top option.
