Tanner McKee has been benched. Joe Milton will now be the starting quarterback for the Eagles. We'll see if he can hold the job for the rest of the season. Since 2024, Milton has only had 57 regular-season dropbacks to work with as a sample size. With those dropbacks, Milton has had 8.1 yards per attempt, a 53.8% passing success rate, a 13.5% deep ball rate, an 80.9% catchable target rate, and a 5.8% hero throw rate. Those are all solid, if not STRONG, numbers. Again, this is an incredibly small sample, but it at least paints a picture of optimism, which I don't think we can say existed for McKee after what we've seen this season. This week, he'll have a tough matchup against the Giants, but he could still return serviceable QB2 production. Over their last five games, the Giants have allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt, the third-lowest passing success rate, the seventh-lowest CPOE, and the sixth-lowest EPA per dropback.

Joe Milton III underwhelms as passer Sunday

Joe Milton III completed 18-of-34 passing attempts for 169 yards and rushed the ball nine times for 64 yards in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact

The Eagles took a chance on starting Milton on Sunday, but it didn't go very well. He failed to score a touchdown over the course of the game and led Philadelphia to just 11 points as a team, but he did lead the team with 64 rushing yards, which helped pad his fantasy total on the day. It will be hard to trust starting anyone on Philadelphia's offense for as long as Milton remains their starter.
