Tanner McKee is officially taking over as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, kicking things off in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. This isn’t some quick fill-in gig, either.
McKee Takes the Reins in Philly
McKee isn’t just a one-week starter, folks. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport dropped the news that McKee’s gonna be the guy, the main man at QB, until Jalen Hurts can actually get back on the field. That’s a huge shift in Philly, and it means fans , and fantasy owners , better get used to seeing a new face under center for a while.
Fantasy Fallout Is Real
Look, this move is a massive headache for anyone with Eagles skill players on their fantasy roster. Seriously. You can probably keep Devonta Smith in your Week 6 lineup, sure. He’s a baller, no doubt. But for real, other Eagles pass-catchers? Might wanna hit pause on those guys. The word is to avoid starting them if you can, at least until McKee shows what he’s really made of. Who knows what the chemistry will look like?
So, it’s all eyes on McKee now, starting with that Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Can he step up and keep the Eagles rolling until Hurts returns, or are we about to see some serious fantasy points evaporate? This is going to be interesting to watch.
