Returns to No. 3 role
McKee was inactive as the Eagles' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's 22-10 wild-card win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Though Jalen Hurts cleared concussion protocol and returned to the starting role after missing the final two games of the regular season, McKee looked as though he might have made a case to replace Kenny Pickett as the Eagles' No. 2 signal-caller based on his performance in Weeks 17 and 18. Pickett started and played the majority of the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys in Week 17, but he left that game early with a rib injury to pave the way for McKee to take his first NFL snaps. McKee completed three of four attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns in relief, then started the Week 18 win over the Giants while both Hurts and Pickett were sidelined and completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Despite McKee's strong showing the previous two games, the Eagles ultimately elected to keep him in the No. 3 role for the playoff opener with Pickett displaying enough progress in his recovery from the injury in practice this past week to suit up as Hurts' top backup.

Next man up after Hurts, Pickett
McKee is currently the Eagles' healthiest quarterback after starter Jalen Hurts (concussion) and top backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) suffered injuries in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. "Tanner has done a good job in scout team and developmental periods, and so, again, Tanner gives us a lot of confidence," head coach Nick Sirianni said during his press conference Monday, when asked about his comfort with McKee in the event he's needed to play in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
First NFL start on tap?
McKee could make his first NFL start in Week 18 against the Giants after Kenny Pickett suffered a rib injury in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles have little incentive to trot out either Pickett or Jalen Hurts -- who sat out against Dallas due to a concussion -- in Week 18 since Philadelphia is locked into the second seed in the NFC playoffs. McKee looked more than capable after Pickett exited against Dallas, as the 2023 sixth-round draft pick became the first player in NFL history to throw multiple touchdown passes on fewer than five attempts in his first game, per Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com.
