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.

Jacoby Brissett News

Jacoby Brissett A Superflex Candidate In Pass-Happy Offense

Saturday, October 3, 1:21 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of his 52 pass attempts in Week 3, finishing with 280 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Brissett added a rushing touchdown on a goal-line sneak in the 36-30 loss to the 49ers. Brissett is averaging 39 passes per game and 27.3 completions, good for second-most in the league, and has a 70.1% completion rate through three weeks. Brissett has found success by getting rid of the ball quickly and hitting receivers on short routes, which has given him the third-lowest aDOT and time to throw among starting quarterbacks. In Week 4, Arizona faces the New York Giants, who have been susceptible to such passes, offering opponents the third-highest completion rate and fourth-highest EPA per dropback on short routes. Arizona's high passing volume makes Brissett a dark horse streamer and a qualified starter in two-QB setups for Week 4.
