Tip Reiman

Cardinals down a pass catcher against Commanders #AZCardinals coach Jonathan Gannon tells reporters that TE Trey McBride is out Sunday because of a concussion. (Ian Rapoport on X) FF Today's Take: McBride is second on the team in targets (21) so this will be a big loss for Arizona and fantasy owners. Backup tight ends Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman played a similar amount of snaps last week but Reiman is still looking for his first target of the season. Higgins is the better fantasy option if you're looking for a fill-in.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Commanders. He should have a good chance to clear protocol in time for Week 5, but we ll track his progress next week. McBride s absence leaves Arizona with TEs Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. Higgins, a converted college WR, is the better bet for fantasy points. Hopefully you don t need him in season-long lineups, but Higgins is an interesting flier in DFS tournaments.

The situation is simple here. If McBride cannot clear concussion protocol in time for the Cardinals' Week 4 contest against the Commanders, he won't play. The star tight end was never expected to clear protocol this early in the week, but his status will be one to monitor as we get closer to the weekend. If he's unable to go, rookie tight end Tip Reiman would likely be in line to replace him after playing on 20 snaps in Week 3's loss to the Lions.

Cardinals HC Jonthan Gannon told reporters Monday afternoon that TE Trey McBride is in the concussion protocol. McBride went in for evaluation during Sunday's game against the Lions, but there was no report of the injury being confirmed. If McBride misses the Week 4 home date with Washington, then Elijah Higgins and rookie Tip Reiman would be next up at the position. WRs Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch would potentially benefit from target-share boosts as well.
