Tanner McKee Named Backup Quarterback, Replacing Andy Dalton

Sunday, October 4, 6:30 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have tweaked their quarterback depth chart, naming Tanner McKee the backup over Andy Dalton, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Dalton had been the No. 2 behind Jalen Hurts through the first three weeks of the season, but he struggled when his number was called last week, throwing an interception on his only pass attempt with Hurts on the sideline. All offseason long, we heard that the competition between McKee and Dalton was incredibly close, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that the Eagles are pivoting to McKee after Dalton's miscue. The change takes effect for Week 4, with Dalton now inactive as the emergency third-string quarterback. Of course, the Eagles hope they don't have to play either quarterback, as that would mean Jalen Hurts is injured. For now, Hurts is healthy, leaving both McKee and Dalton on the sideline.

Daniel Jones To See Best Chance For Breakout Game in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:28 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones averages just over 200 passing yards per game, with three passing touchdowns, three interceptions, and two fumbles lost through three games. His return from an Achilles tendon tear hasn't gone according to plan, and he's lucky his team recovered a third fumble he had in Week 3, else they'd potentially be staring down the barrel of 0-3. But he should get better as the weeks go on, and the Colts have faced three tough defenses to start the season. In Week 4, they'll go on the road to face the Washington Commanders, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. They were shredded through the air by opposing quarterbacks last season, and are allowing a whopping 8.2 yards per pass attempt to opposing quarterbacks this season, a clip that's fifth-worst in the NFL. Ironically, Indianapolis is one of the few teams allowing more. This game could be a pass-heavy shootout, in which case Jones would be worth starting in 2QB and superflex leagues. He's better off left on the bench in 1QB leagues, though, as the rushing upside he has a season ago has evaporated.
