Brissett back under center changes everything for McBride. In the two starts with Jacoby he’s gone from a secondary option to the quarterback’s primary safety valve — 18 catches on 24 targets for 174 yards and three TDs over that stretch. That usage spike isn’t random; Brissett actively looks to the tight end on short-to-intermediate holds and in the red zone, and McBride’s role has expanded accordingly.
Matchup shapes favor volume. Dallas ranks near the bottom defending passing success and has surrendered heavy tight-end production this season. Their red-zone numbers are porous too, which plays straight into McBride’s strengths as a chain-mover and touchdown threat. If the Cowboys force the Cardinals to work through phases, McBride will be the first guy Brissett checks to stay drives alive.
Scheme and game script add to the upside. Expect Dallas to score enough that Arizona must answer through the air; Brissett’s comfort throwing in rhythm to his tight end and willingness to push intermediate looks opens consistent opportunities. McBride runs plenty of seams, crossers, and short-ins that convert to YAC — those moderate gains stack quickly toward a 68-yard day.
Role stability supports the projection. Since Brissett returned, McBride’s target share has jumped into elite territory and he’s been the most targeted tight end in that small sample. He’s also a top option in the red zone, which gives him both high-volume and high-leverage chances to pile up yards and points in the same game script.
Risk checks are straightforward: if Arizona commits to a heavy run script or Brissett gets knocked out early, the opportunity set shrinks. Heavy double-teams or extreme bracket coverage could suppress yards but would likely free other receivers, keeping Brissett’s reads diverse. Still, the baseline expectation with Brissett healthy is plenty of short-to-intermediate looks funneling to McBride.
This is a matchup and usage buy. The Cowboys’ defensive profile, McBride’s elevated target share with Brissett, and a projected game script that favors passing volume all point to the over being the sensible play.
