Is Trey McBride Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Trey McBride - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (concussion) is off to a promising start in 2023, logging six or more targets in every game so far and totaling 14 receptions through three games.

McBride was drafted highly in fantasy drafts, though, and with zero touchdowns on the year, McBride is shaping up to be a whiff at his ADP. In addition, McBride left the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter.

Is Trey McBride still hurt or healthy now? Will McBride play in Week 4? Let's dive in.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Trey McBride Injury Update for Fantasy Football

After the hit, McBride was taken to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion. McBride collided with Detroit Lions defender Brian Branch directly head-to-head. McBride's helmet snapped back hard, indicating extreme force in the collision.

McBride clearly suffered a brain injury in this play. He'll now have to clear the full five-step concussion protocol to return to play. There's usually not much word from teams on the exact severity of concussions that players suffer, and a lot of ambiguity around that since it's not easy to test for anyway.

Fantasy managers should be prepared for McBride to miss time, though. Typically, concussed players are at a high risk of missing at least one game. Managers shouldn't expect McBride to play in Week 4 and be prepared for a multi-week absence.

McBride's length of absence will depend on the concussion's severity and how he progresses through the coming weeks, so managers will want to check back for updates.

 

Trey McBride Fantasy Football Outlook

McBride was a fantastic tight end option for fantasy in 2023, with eight games of 10+ PPR points, many of them coming in the second half of the season. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray made it a priority to target McBride often, and though they drafted WR Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall, McBride has maintained relevance.
When McBride returns, he should slot right back into his role of No. 1 tight end. It's unclear whether he'll out-target Harrison, but managers should expect a steady five to 10 targets on a weekly basis.

McBride is a highly talented tight end and is too good to be left out of the passing game for the Cardinals. He's a must-start when healthy. Don't think twice about slotting him in your starting lineups when he returns to play, whenever that is.
