Patrick Mahomes vs Trey McBride
Trey McBride holds a 14% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/24/2026
THE CASE FOR MAHOMES
Trey McBride is ascending fast, establishing himself as a top dynasty tight end. He's young, athletic, and has already shown TE1 upside in a shallow position. His value is boosted by scarcity and age, making him a cornerstone at tight end. In TE-premium or 1.5 PPR formats, his edge is even bigger. Betting on further breakout is justified given his role and trajectory.
THE CASE FOR MCBRIDE
Patrick Mahomes is a generational quarterback locked into a long-term, elite situation with Andy Reid and the Chiefs. He's a proven difference-maker in Superflex, offering unmatched weekly upside and stability. Even in a 'down' year, Mahomes remains a top fantasy QB with the ability to single-handedly win matchups. Age is less of a concern given his style and NFL support. Elite QBs simply hold value for a decade.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
If you're contending in Superflex, Mahomes is the safer and more impactful piece to chase titles.
For a rebuild, McBride's age and positional scarcity make him the better asset to build around.
This is close in value, but Superflex scoring tilts it slightly to Mahomes if you need a QB.
