Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Risers After Week 15
Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals
Trey McBride continued his run of elite production since Kyler Murray’s return under center as the starting quarterback with an outstanding Week 15. His 10 receptions for 102 yards against a stingy San Francisco 49ers defense proves he’s a must-start regardless of matchup for the remainder of the 2023 season.

If the Cardinals decide to stick with Murray and this coaching staff heading into 2024, then McBride could be a candidate for the overall TE1 spot in full-PPR formats. His value could even get a slight boost in TE premium leagues that reward extra points for tight end receptions, considering he’s been the TE1 overall in PPR formats since Week 10.
Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions
Sam LaPorta is starting to flirt with historic production at the position in his first season. His 71 receptions for 758 yards and nine scores already has him inside the top 10 of most receiving categories of all-time TE rookie production.
LaPorta’s consistent role alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown has him set up for a ton of long-term success in this potent Lions offense, assuming they keep Jared Goff around for the next few years.
It may not be the popular take, but I have LaPorta as the most valuable dynasty asset at the tight end position at this very moment.
