Trey McBride Prepares for Week 7 Matchup Against Packers
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals (2-4) will face the Green Bay Packers (3-1) in Week 7 of the NFL season on Sunday. Tight end Trey McBride, who is not listed on the injury report, is expected to play, providing a boost to the Cardinals’ offense.
McBride has been a consistent performer this season, earning at least seven targets in every game and scoring twice in the last month. With starting quarterback Kyler Murray sidelined due to injury, backup Jacoby Brissett will lead the team. Despite the quarterback change, McBride’s fantasy managers can remain optimistic, as he historically commands a significant target share.
“Trey is capable of stepping up and filling the void left by Kyler,” a team source commented. “His performance so far indicates he can handle the increased responsibility.”
Facing the Packers, McBride will be looking to exploit a defense that has been vulnerable against tight ends. The Packers have yet to hold a TE1 under nine PPR points this season, raising expectations for McBride’s potential output this week.
According to projections, McBride is expected to score approximately 15.5 fantasy points, with forecasts predicting seven receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. Weather will not be a factor, as the game will be played indoors at State Farm Stadium, with comfortable temperatures anticipated at 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
McBride’s ongoing productivity and favorable matchup position him as a player to watch in this crucial contest.
