The Arizona Cardinals’ Trey McBride earns my top tight end rating heading into the 2026 season.
McBride notched 126 receptions for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. All marked career highs for the Colorado State product.
Entering his fifth NFL season, McBride caught over 100 passes in two straight. He cleared 1,000 yards in each season as well, seeing a spike in touchdowns in 2025.
McBride edges Brock Bowers, who produced a career year as a rookie. Bowers caught 112 receptions for 1,194 yards two years ago, finishing second in NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
