2025 Fantasy Outlook
McKee, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 Draft, spent most of his first two professional seasons as the Eagles' third-string quarterback, but he finally saw the field late last year, closing out Week 17 with both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett injured and starting a meaningless regular-season finale with the No. 2 seed already locked in. He performed well, going a combined 30-for-45 for 323 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions. With Pickett now in Cleveland, McKee is expected to back up Hurts in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.03 million contract with the Eagles in May of 2023.
Diagnosed with fractured thumb
McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and may not be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Though McKee's injury brings his availability for the beginning of the regular season into question, Rapoport notes that the issue isn't major, adding that the fracture is to "just the top of the thumb." Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that the quarterback suffered the injury during practice and agrees that it's not expected to be a long-term issue. The Eagles traded for Sam Howell in a deal with Minnesota on Sunday, giving them insurance in case McKee does indeed to need to sit out the team's opener Thursday, Sept. 4 against Dallas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Philly's QB2 for 2025
Tim McManus of ESPN.com believes the Eagles should prioritize elevating McKee to the No. 2 quarterback job behind starter and Super Bowl LIX MVP Jalen Hurts.
ANALYSIS
McKee spent most of 2024 as Philadelphia's emergency third quarterback behind Hurts and Kenny Pickett. McKee started in the Eagles' Week 18 win over the Giants, during which he completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. With multiple teams looking to add quarterback depth in the offseason, the Eagles could opt to trade Pickett in exchange for draft capital and pave the way for McKee to take on backup duties behind Hurts for the 2025 campaign.
