Trey McBride Week 17 Outlook - Cardinals at Rams

Last week, it felt like Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals were trolling fantasy managers with their usage (or lack thereof) of Trey McBride. Facing a Carolina team that had allowed the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends, Murray publicly promised McBride would score his first receiving touchdown of the season "soon." Well, as it turns out, "soon" was definitely not last week. McBride matched season lows with three catches and four targets while posting a season-worst 20 receiving yards. We can only hope that usage was an anomaly. McBride has been an elite tight end all year, even without the touchdowns, so keep treating him as a high-end TE1.
