Fantasy Football: 1 player at each position that has emerged as a must-start the rest of 2023
Second-year TE finally looking like the guy fantasy players thought he would be

Must-Start TE: Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals
For a position that has lacked great options this season, there are actually a few options to consider here as rookies Dalton Kincaid and Sam LaPorta also fit the bill. But Trey McBride is the perfect guy to have right now.
As soon as the Cardinals placed Zach Ertz on injured reserve, the door was open for last year's second-round pick. Many fantasy owners expected to see this right out of the gate from McBride, but he got off to a slow start, catching just 29 passes as a rookie.
He already has 36 catches so far this season and he is coming off of his first 100-yard game, coincidentally the same week the team got Kyler Murray back.
With Murray back and a lack of great receiving options on this team, McBride is poised to have a huge week every game for the rest of this season. In the three games since Ertz has been out of the lineup, McBride has been targeted 29 times and he has 21 receptions for 248 yards and a touchdown.
He will prove to be an excellent option over the next several weeks, perhaps boosting your fantasy team to the championship.
