The Arizona Cardinals will visit the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Trey McBride.
Is Trey McBride Playing in Week 3?
McBride is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Trey McBride in Week 3?
While the tight end position crumbles around him, Trey McBride just continues to churn out value.
He’s now caught at least six passes in four straight games (and eight of nine) and appears poised to do something even the great Travis Kelce never has: record consecutive 100-catch seasons.
We’d love for him to score more often (yet to see an end zone target in 2022, but he did earn nine last season, something that gets overlooked quite a bit), but that’s like saying you want Brad Pitt to score a 1550 on the SATs.
We can ask for everything, but we can also be thrilled with what we have and what we have in McBride is a head start essentially every week. The Cards close the fantasy season with the Falcons and Bengals, so if there ever was a time for him to access his production ceiling, it might well come at the perfect time!
