Trey McBride Poised for TE1 Performance with Increased Usage and Favorable Matchup

Fantasy football analyst Ray Garvin predicts a monster, league-winning performance for Trey McBride in Week 11, projecting him to finish as the TE1 overall. This prediction is based on McBride's consistent volume, with 5+ catches in 11 straight games, and his utilization all over the formation by quarterback Jacoby Brissett. The San Francisco 49ers' defense has shown vulnerability, particularly against tight ends, having allowed multiple scores to the position in recent games and a significant increase in EPA per play since Week 6. Brissett's comfort against the blitz and McBride being his first read, especially with Marvin Harrison Jr. out, further solidify this outlook. The Arizona Cardinals are at home and need this win, with McBride being their cleanest path to success against a 49ers defense whose communication has slipped and leaves voids in coverage.
