Trey McBride is poised for a significant rebound in Week 17, following a lackluster performance against Atlanta in Week 16. Coming off a game where he managed only four catches for 27 yards, McBride’s prospects for this week are bright as he faces off against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Valued at $7,500 on DraftKings and $8,000 on FanDuel, McBride is currently the top-priced tight end, a reflection of his status as the leading Fantasy tight end for the season. This week, he enjoys an exceptional matchup against the Bengals, who are at the bottom of the league in defending against tight ends, allowing the most Fantasy points in this category. Notably, ten different tight ends have recorded at least 13.6 PPR points against Cincinnati this season, indicating an ideal opportunity for McBride to excel.
In addition to his favorable matchup, McBride has demonstrated a strong affinity for performing on the road. In his past five away games, he has accumulated 42 receptions for 470 yards and six touchdowns. With this in mind, Fantasy players are encouraged to feature McBride prominently in their lineups for Week 17, as he is likely to deliver a standout performance and help erase the memory of his previous disappointment.
As the DFS landscape heats up for this week, McBride is without a doubt a player to watch. Good luck to all as they finalize their lineups!
