Outlook Tanner McKee
Tanner McKee vs. Panthers — Stepping in Under Center at Home
McKee steps into the starting role this week with Jalen Hurts landing on injured reserve. Although he operates with several key starters sidelined—including Saquon Barkley—McKee has expressed comfort in the offense and should rely on quick distribution to targets like DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
Fantasy managers shouldn't expect high-end production in a matchup projected to be a low-scoring defensive contest. Our projections forecast McKee for approximately 179 passing yards, 1.2 passing touchdowns, and 12.9 fantasy points. With minimal rushing utility and a modest 3% start rate, he is best treated as a fringe option for two-quarterback formats.

Ladd McConkey clears injury report at Kansas City — snap count uncertainty lingers
McConkey is officially off the injury report after a foot injury relegated him to emergency-only status last week. While starting wideout Tre' Harris has been ruled out—opening potential targets alongside Quentin Johnston—head coach Jim Harbaugh remained non-committal on whether McConkey will face a snap limit against Kansas City.
Fantasy managers have grown wary, letting his start rate tumble below 30%. With the Chargers listed as 7.5-point underdogs, our projections anticipate about 2.4 receptions for 35 yards (7.8 fantasy points). Facing a stout Chiefs defense behind an injured offensive line, McConkey carries considerable floor risk, profiling as a volatile flex option.
