Should You Start or Sit Trey McBride in Week 15?
I continue to rank Trey McBride over Brock Bowers and I don’t feel bad about it in season-long leagues or in dynasty. Is the profile really that different?
McBride has posted three straight top-five finishes at the position, but the production isn’t what I’m tracking. He has at least a dozen targets in each of those games (all Cardinal losses), joining Travis Kelce and Tony Gonzalez as the only tight ends with a run like that since 2000.
He’s getting all of the volume that Bowers does, but with more offensive upside, right? I’m not suggesting that this Kyler Murray-led offense comes without risk, but if you’re giving me plus-level involvement, I’m taking the Cardinals’ offensive trajectory in a meaningful game over that of the Raiders in a spot where losses hold value.
