Tanner McKee

PHI Quarterback #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tanner McKee completed 3-of-4 passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ 41-7, Week 17 win over the Cowboys.

McKee came on in relief of Kenny Pickett after Pickett exited in the third quarter with a rib injury. McKee only attempted four passes, but the former sixth-round pick left his mark with two touchdown passes. His first career score came on a 20-yard back-shoulder throw to A.J. Brown while his second came on a catch-and-run by DeVonta Smith that went for another 25 yards. The Eagles secured the NFC East in Sunday’s win and have nothing to play for in Week 18. With Jalen Hurts unlikely to play and Pickett also banged up, there’s a chance McKee could make his first career start in next week’s game against the Giants.
Saquon Barkley

PHI Running Back #26

Saquon Barkley rushed 31 times for 167 yards in the Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Cowboys.

Barkley fell victim to a Kenny Pickett tush push touchdown, but the Eagles’ RB1 churned out a strong performance against an overmatched Cowboys defense. Barkley’s longest run of the day came on a 23-yard in the third quarter on a drive that ended with an AJ Brown touchdown, but he will now enter Week 18 just 101 yards shy of the single-season rushing record. With the NFC East now secured, we’ll see just how willing the Eagles are to let Barkley pursue the record in next week’s game against the Giants.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

DeVonta Smith caught 6-of-7 targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Cowboys.

Smith got the Eagles on the board midway through the second quarter when he found the end zone on a 22-yard pass from Kenny Pickett in the corner of the end zone. He nearly scored again on a 49-yard reception from Pickett in the second quarter but was ruled down at the one-yard line. In the fourth quarter, however, he took an in-route pass from Tanner McKee to the house on a 25-yard score for his second house call on the day. Smith has now scored in three of his last four games and has two 100-yard performances over the span. With the Eagles winning the NFC East, there’s a good chance we don’t see much of Smith in Week 18 against the Giants.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown caught 3-of-5 targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Cowboys.

Brown did most of his damage with third-string quarterback Tanner McKee under center. The star receiver lost a touchdown in the first half due to an offensive holding call but connected with McKee on a 20-yard score late in the third quarter on a nicely thrown back-shoulder pass. Brown played second fiddle to DeVonta Smith in a game that was never competitive. He’s now sitting on a 67-1079-7 line, and may not play in Week 18 with the Eagles already securing the division.
Kenny Pickett

PHI Quarterback #7

Kenny Pickett (ribs) exited in the third quarter of Week 17’s game against the Cowboys.

Pickett was dealing with a rib injury entering the game. The third-year quarterback took a punishing hit from Micah Parsons in the third quarter after rolling to his right to find AJ Brown in the end zone. To add insult to injury, the would-be touchdown pass was overturned by a holding call. Currently up 27-7, the Eagles could opt to ride with Tanner McKee the rest of the way. If they do, Pickett would finish with day with 143-1-0 through the air while adding three yards on the ground and a rushing score.
Nakobe Dean

PHI Linebacker #17

Eagles declared QB Jalen Hurts, QB Ian Book, LB Nakobe Dean, RB Will Shipley, OL Nick Gates, OL Darian Kinnard, and OG Trevor Keegan inactive for Week 17 against the Cowboys.

Nothing is surprising here, as Hurts was ruled out before the weekend, and Dean was listed as doubtful. The Eagles will start Kenny Pickett for the first time this season after Pickett threw for 143-1-1 in relief of Hurts last week against the Commanders. Both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith receive slight downgrades with Pickett under center, and fantasy managers should expect a heavy dose of Saquon Barkley against a porous Cowboys defense.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

Brown played through the knee injury without any issues last week, totaling 97 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. He got some time off in practice this week but was never at risk of missing Sunday’s game. Even with Kenny Pickett under center, Brown remains a locked-in WR1 for his date with Dallas.
Kenny Pickett

PHI Quarterback #7

Kenny Pickett will start in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

Pickett suffered a rib injury during his three quarters of action versus the Commanders last week but is good to for Sunday’s matchup with Dallas. He will make his first start of the year after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for Week 17 with a concussion. Expect a run-heavy approach versus a Dallas team with most of their big names already done for the year. Pickett is not on the streaming radar for Week 17.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts (concussion) will not play in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

Kenny Pickett will make his first start of the year versus Dallas. Hurts is dealing with a concussion he suffered in the first quarter of Philly’s Week 16 loss to the Commanders. He should be back for the Eagles’ regular season finale versus the Giants. Even with Pickett under center, A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith remain must-start players for the final week of the fantasy season.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said “It’s going to be tough for [Jalen Hurts] to make it this week.”

This all but confirms Kenny Pickett will make his first start of the season in Week 17 against the Cowboys. Whether or not Sirianni announces as much on Friday or later in the weekend is to be determined, but Hurts remains in concussion protocol and is not expected to practice in any capacity on Friday. Eagles receivers will receive a slight downgrade with Pickett under center in a week where these downgrades can be least afforded by fantasy managers. That said, both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are near must-starts in most formats.
