Expert takes
“Year 2 post-tibia fracture: • 4.1 YPC → 3.5 YPC • 3.04 yards after contact per attempt → 2.78 • 0.217 missed tackles forced per attempt → 0.161 Christian McCaffrey does not appear to have the same league-winning upside as last season (18.5 FPG) - 1 top-5 weekly RB finish through four games, compared to 11 in 17 games last season.”
The FF Newsletter· Oct 8, 2026“Christian McCaffrey finished as RB3 despite only recording 23 rushing yards, thanks to two rushing TDs.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“Christian McCaffrey – 8 targets, 5 rec McCaffrey has hit triple-digit targets in five different seasons. He’s arguably the best pass-catching RB in NFL history. If CMC is healthy, he is in your lineup, but it is nice to see that he is still very involved in the passing game.”

“If we could turn injuries off like in the Madden video game, McCaffrey would be the clear-cut 1.01 pick in every non-superflex draft.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026“Andrew Erickson’s Draft Landmines of 2026 Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF) Christian McCaffrey led the NFL with 413 touches in 2025 and reached 450 when including the playoffs.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4, 2026“Going as the RB3, roughly the eighth overall pick, McCaffrey is coming off a season that led all players in total touches. Historically, that’s a dangerous signal: over the last 13 years, only one running back who saw 400-plus touches in a season finished as a top-five back the next year, and running backs age 27 or older who led the league in touches have never finished top five the following season across six such occurrences.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23, 2026“He’s entering his age-30 season with a lot of miles on the tread. McCaffrey is absolutely capable of smashing, but he could also miss some games. Since 2020, he’s missed half the season or more three times.”
Kyle Zeigler· Aug 18, 2026“In a full PPR format, CMC represents one of the few RBs in the league who really benefits from the extra bump per reception. McCaffrey had a whopping 102 receptions last season and could very well be one of the main receiving weapons in San Francisco again in 2026.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 14, 2026“Christian McCaffrey | RB, San Francisco 49ers Heading into what will be his 10th season in the NFL, Christian McCaffrey is coming off another season of monstrous volume.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11, 2026“McCaffrey is coming off a season where he touched the ball 400+ times and finished all but one week of the season as a top-24 RB. The biggest “if” with CMC is his health, but when he is on the field, he is a fantasy league winner.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 7, 2026“2 Something to note is that while Christian McCaffrey did not reach the total rushing attempts needed to hit this criterion last season, he did have 311 carries, along with 102 receptions, putting his total workload at a similar number.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29, 2026“The last time McCaffrey had over 400 touches in a year, the superstar missed 69.7% of the games over the next two seasons because of injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 28, 2026“McCaffrey was the RB1 in points per game, scoring 2.5 points more than the RB2. Once again, the 49ers did very little to persuade us that they don’t believe in McCaffrey’s ability to be a workhorse, instead continuing their habit of talking up a later-round dart throw at the position, who’ll likely struggle to see any involvement.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 27, 2026
“DET | DraftKings: $6,700/FanDuel: $7,200 Trey McBride is a no-brainer at tight end this week against a Lions defense that has been absolutely shredded through the air. Detroit has been especially vulnerable against tight ends, making this an ideal spot for McBride to put up a monster fantasy performance. With Arizona likely forced to throw to keep pace with Detroit’s high-powered offense, McBride should have plenty of opportunities to rack up receptions.”
Frank Ammirante· Oct 10, 2026“Hockenson $4,800 MIN @NO 10.6 2.21 1.42% Michael Mayer $3,500 LV @NE 6.3 1.8 1.38% Pat Freiermuth $3,900 PIT IND 7.5 1.92 1.23% Greg Dulcich $3,100 MIA CIN 6.1 1.97 1.07% McBride is still my first look when paying up. I would change another position before forcing a TE fade in a lineup I already like. Bowers is my preferred alternative.”
Chris Cash· Oct 10, 2026“Trey McBride was a monster last year, and he’s continuing to smash this season. The stud tight end has the following marks through three games: 85.5% snap share 81.5% route participation rate 28.2% target share 0.33 TPRR 32.5% first-read rate 26.8% air yard share 8.7 receptions per game 70.3 receiving yards per game 7 red-zone targets 4 end-zone targets 2 receiving touchdowns (both on end-zone targets) 2.8 expected receiving touchdowns 19.70 DraftKings points per game 20.86 expected DraftKings points per game 15.37 FanDuel points per game 16.93 expected FanDuel points per game Michael Wilson is the other stellar selection in Arizona’s passing game.”

“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.”
Jim Moorman· Sep 29, 2026“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.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“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:”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 14, 2026“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.”
Logan Ulrich· Sep 14, 2026“While Trey McBride is a must-start, there are serious questions around the rest of the Cardinals.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026“Brock Bowers , Colston Loveland , and Trey McBride are the obvious examples heading into this season.”
Brooke Morgan· Sep 4, 2026“Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Trey McBride has a top-20 ADP after catching 126 passes for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4, 2026“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.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 28, 2026“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27, 2026“Cardinals TE Trey McBride has become a prolific fantasy scorer.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 15, 2026“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).”
Rich Hribar· Aug 12, 2026“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.”
