“Tanner McKee is gonna be a lot better than you think. Might take a moment – not sure how many reps he’s gotten in Mannion’s [offense] to date. But he can play. I am not worried about any Eagles skill players with McKee.”

McKee joined the Eagles as a sixth-round pick out of Stanford in 2023. He didn’t play at all during his rookie season, but he showed face in two games in 2024. McKee started one game and led the Eagles to a victory.
In 2025, McKee made his second start at the end of the regular season. He came up short with a disappointing loss against the Washington Commanders.

(Photo by Caleb Bowlin/Getty Images)Heading into Week 6 against the Panthers, McKee has completed 61.4% of his passes for 597 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception.
Sunday’s circumstances aren’t ideal, considering the Eagles have a young offensive line to work with, along with a depleted backfield, but at least McKee has the tea’s top pass-catchers to throw to.
The No. 1 wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been cleared to make his return. The veteran tight end Dallas Goedert will also be on the field for the second week in a row. McKee has help in the air, and he could be a sneaky-good pickup in fantasy.
