Who Should I Start? Tanner McKee or Tommy Devito

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee completed 13 of 21 passes for 115 yards, threw one interception, and lost a fumble during the team's 3-26 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old had been making a strong case to challenge Kenny Pickett for the No. 2 spot but ended the preseason on a low note with two turnovers. With that said, McKee still looked better as a passer than Pickett Saturday proving that he can push the ball downfield while the offense was inept with Pickett. The former Steelers starter will likely end up as the top backup to starter Jalen Hurts come Week 1. Still, McKee should have safely secured himself the emergency quarterback role with his overall strong preseason totals.

ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan reports that the New York Giants will keep three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster to begin the 2024 regular season, according to head coach Brian Daboll. It means that QB Tommy Devito will stick on the roster behind starter Daniel Jones and backup Drew Lock. DeVito has made the team after going 14-for-27 for 103 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the preseason finale last Saturday against the New York Jets. You can't blame the G-Men for keeping the 26-year-old signal-caller around with Jones coming off a torn ACL this year and with Lock hurting his hip in the preseason opener. The former undrafted free agent out of Illinois was forced into action last year because of Jones' injury, appearing in nine games (six starts) while throwing for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three picks on his 178 pass attempts. DeVito is off the fantasy radar.
