Bijan Robinson
vs Trey McBride

“RB Receiving Usage *Data from PFF Bijan Robinson is on another planet in terms of usage. He saw 62% of Atlanta’s total rush attempts and targets on the day, the highest rate of his career! Looking at the Buccaneers backfield, Bucky Irving was not usurped by any means by Kenneth Gainwell .”

“However, the literal majority of those yards came from dumpoffs to Bijan Robinson, who finished with 90 yards (mostly on catch-and-runs) on ten targets. That leaves, if you can do the math: 53 passing yards on 12 targets that went to the rest of the team. Unfortunately for managers who drafted them, Drake London and Kyle Pitts combined for two catches for 29 yards on five targets.”

“We’ve seen Robinson put up strong fantasy performances with subpar quarterbacks, and Rush should be checkdown-friendly.”

“Jonathan Taylor , Derrick Henry , Jahmyr Gibbs , and Bijan Robinson could all threaten 300 rush attempts, making them excellent candidates to become the 2026 NFL rushing yards leader.”

“Bijan Robinson (RB – ATL) Robinson has been a fantasy star since entering the NFL, posting a top-nine PPR finish every year of his career. Furthermore, the former Texas star finished as the RB3 in 2024 and the RB2 last season despite totaling only seven rushing touchdowns.”

“Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.”

“Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards).”

“Meanwhile, Bijan Robinson is the top overall player on my board and should see a spike in goal-line rushing work with Tyler Allgeier finally gone.”

“The Case for Bijan Robinson Since entering the league in 2023, Robinson has established himself as an elite running back.”

“Speaking of positional advantage, Trey McBride is averaging 15.4 half-PPR points per game and leads all tight ends in targets and receptions. It’s all McBride and Michael Wilson in Arizona, with these two accounting for nearly 60% of the target share. With 10+ targets in all three games this year, McBride’s fantasy floor is elite.”

“ARI @ SF (SF-8.5, O/U 47.5) Trey McBride is the only Arizona Cardinal that you can start with confidence this week, as Jeremiyah Love has only seen 27 opportunities in two weeks on a bad offense.”

“The apple of Brissett’s eye all afternoon, McBride led the team in targets with 13, catching nine passes for 95 yards and a score in an upset victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. McBride will look to keep the train a’ rollin’ in a more difficult matchup at home against Seattle next week. Stud:”

“Star TE Trey McBride had nine for 95 and the score, while veteran WR Kendrick Bourne racked up eight catches for 75 yards. First-round RB Jeremiyah Love got in the end zone for the first time in his career, while WRs Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. also chipped in with big plays. Arizona has pretty solid weapons but it’s notable that the Cardinals had as much success as they did against a Chargers defense that was No. 5 in total defense last year and returned most of the unit.”

“While Trey McBride is a must-start, there are serious questions around the rest of the Cardinals.”

“Brock Bowers , Colston Loveland , and Trey McBride are the obvious examples heading into this season.”

“Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Trey McBride has a top-20 ADP after catching 126 passes for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.”

“Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter. Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.”

“Taking a look at the top options from last season, McBride averaged 11.2 fantasy points per game, and Bowers averaged 9.4 points per game.”

“Cardinals TE Trey McBride has become a prolific fantasy scorer.”

“In full-PPR formats, running backs and wide receivers split the top 10 in points per game 50/50, while running backs made up 10 of the top 20 spots in those leagues ( Trey McBride was in there as a tight end).”

“Let’s use last season’s leading TE scorer, Trey McBride , as an example. He scored 315.9 PPR fantasy points last season. In TE-premium, where he gets an extra half-point for each of his 126 receptions, McBride scored 378.9 fantasy points.”
