From the episode

I'm worried about how he had 120 more routes than any other tight end last year. If, if you discount those routes... he would have scored like three and a half, three to three and a half fewer PPR points per game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McBride is overpriced due to unsustainable route volume and potential QB volatility.

Zachariason considers McBride overpriced at his current ADP, noting that his 2023 production was inflated by a league-high route volume. If his route share regresses, his fantasy output would drop by 3-3.5 points per game; additionally, the potential for Carson Beck to start later in the season adds risk.
