Who Should I Start? Tanner McKee or Tommy DeVito

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) was not spotted at practice on Sunday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP. McKee fractured his thumb earlier this month and has not practiced in roughly two weeks. The 25-year-old was solid while filling in last year, as he completed 30 of his 45 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With Thursday's regular-season opener fast approaching, it appears unlikely that McKee will be healthy enough to suit up. If he's inactive, Sam Howell would operate as the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.

The New England Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito off waivers on Wednesday from the New York Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Giants didn't have a need for DeVito any longer after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and trading up to draft rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round in April. The 27-year-old will now head to the AFC East, where he'll serve as the QB3 behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. DeVito went undrafted out of college before joining the Giants and making his NFL debut in 2023, when he started six games. In his two NFL seasons with the G-Men, DeVito has completed 65.3 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He is well off the fantasy radar but could push Dobbs for QB2 duties during the year behind Maye.
