Outlook Tanner McKee
Tanner McKee vs DAL at home — stepping into the starting job
McKee has taken over as Philadelphia's starting quarterback after Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending condition. In his first start against Carolina, he threw for 215 yards and one touchdown on 45 pass attempts. With injuries impacting the offense, McKee should continue operating as a distributor in a quick-release passing scheme.
In this divisional matchup against Dallas, our weekly projection pegs McKee for roughly 190 passing yards and 1.3 passing touchdowns (13.6 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have been cautious, with McKee rostered in 5% of leagues and started in just 3%. Lacking notable rushing production, he profiles as an option best suited for deep leagues or Superflex formats.

Outlook Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield at Carolina — Thumb Evaluation Leaves Status Clouded
Mayfield is questionable for Sunday's divisional game against Carolina after missing three straight contests with a dislocated right thumb. While head coach Todd Bowles noted the team is initially game-planning as if backup Jalon Daniels will start, Mayfield is scheduled to practice Wednesday and test his ability to grip and throw the football.
Because his game-day availability remains uncertain, our weekly projection currently sits at 0 fantasy points. Fantasy managers have largely moved on, with his rostered rate falling to 24% and start rate near zero. If he does manage to suit up, he would be a risky option returning from a throwing-hand injury, so be sure to check back often for the latest news throughout the week.
