McBride recorded two catches on three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.
With Zach Ertz back from last year's torn ACL, McBride has split the backup workload with Geoff Swaim through the first five games of the season. Overall, McBride has logged 114 offensive snaps to Swaim's 110 (out of a possible 299), and McBride has managed to haul in eight of 10 targets for 79 yards versus Swaim's two receptions on three targets for 22 yards. Considering the lack of output for both players, McBride likely will need some sort of absence from Ertz to make a fantasy impact.
