Trey McBride vs Tyler Warren
Trey McBride holds a 44.9% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/27/2026
THE CASE FOR MCBRIDE
McBride is already an established high-end TE with a locked-in weekly target floor, which is the hardest thing to buy in dynasty. At 26.7, he’s in the prime scoring window for tight ends and should remain a top-5 option for multiple seasons. The 27% market premium reflects the stability: you’re paying for bankable volume and start/sit certainty at a volatile position.
THE CASE FOR WARREN
Warren is 2.5 years younger and priced notably lower, giving you a cleaner value entry if you’re willing to accept projection risk. If he hits as a top-8-ish TE, the value delta can close quickly because the TE market rewards emerging volume earners fast. In a rebuild, that age/value combo lets you either wait for the breakout or flip on hype/liquidity without paying the McBride tax.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
McBride—pay the premium for the higher weekly floor and clearer elite scoring odds right now.
Warren—take the discount and youth, and reallocate the ~27% savings into another core asset/pick.
It’s a fair gap: McBride if you need points, Warren if you’re optimizing value and timeline.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
McBride is worth more today because he’s already proven as an elite-volume TE and carries less downside.
Trade?
If you roster Warren and can add a meaningful sweetener (e.g., a 2nd+) to get McBride in a title window, do it; otherwise take Warren plus the extra piece.
Superflex?
In SF, the relative TE difference matters a bit less than QB/elite WR value, so lean Warren at cost unless McBride is the final piece for a push.
