2026 Outlook
Yahoo flags a paradox for McBride: Arizona's regular-season schedule is brutal (all six divisional games at the top of league difficulty), which keeps garbage-time/passing-volume opportunities intact — exactly the setup that drove his 2025 TE1 finish (ran more routes than any TE, 150+ more than the next). Fantasy playoffs are the easiest in football: Jets in Week 15, Saints in 16, Raiders in 17 after a Week 14 bye.
Sharp Football Analysis ranks him as the consensus TE1 due to a "perfect storm of team injuries" that propelled him to unprecedented positional leverage. Even expecting regression, McBride's usage, age, and production give him the safest path to TE1 in 2026 (per [[2026 Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Rich Hribar's Notes on Every Player]]).
Role / Depth Chart
Locked-in TE1 in Arizona. New OC Nathaniel Hackett is the offensive question mark.
