Backup QB starting for Eagles; community consensus he is inaccurate and limits all pass catchers. Multiple comments note poor throw quality, limited time due to weak OL, and tendency to lock onto Lemon for quick throws rather than working through progressions to Goedert. One Eagles fan states McKee "doesn't exactly have eyes for Goedert" despite TE being first read; another calls him "atrocious." Contrasts sharply with Jalen Hurts' downfield passing ability.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
McKee was QB21 last week and projected as top-20ish QB this week if he maintains production; serviceable in SuperFlex/2-QB leagues but consensus is mixed. One commenter says he's 'done pretty well,' another calls him 'complete dogshit,' and a third advises only picking him up if no one else is available. Eagles are 2-5 after 38-21 loss to Cowboys, fueling fan frustration with his play.NegativeNewsOct 24, 2026
Backup QB starting with Jalen Hurts out for season. Community skepticism: 'I'm not investing anything in an offense of Tanner McKee and Makai Lemon' (6 upvotes).

One comment: 'I picked up Cole Payton, McKee's rookie backup.

Set to make third career start Week 6 vs. Panthers in place of Hurts. Community expects McKee to increase checkdown volume and reliance on run game compared to Hurts. Multiple comments cite McKee as pocket passer who will lean on Barkley in passing game. One comment notes 'For fantasy purposes McKee will be better for the offense than Hurts.' Another suggests McKee was 'decisive and threw guys open' two years ago but O-line will be a problem. Community optimistic that McKee's play-calling will benefit Barkley's receiving opportunities and overall usage.PositiveRoleOct 15, 2026
Backup QB starting for Hurts. Community expects aggressive, 'fuck it chuck it' passing style vs. Hurts' conservative approach. Optimism that McKee will target Smith downfield; some caution about 'echo chamber' hype and Philly's 28th-ranked passing yards. Seen as potential trap game vs. Panthers.
