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 to start in Week 9 for Eagles

The Eagles are starting Joe Milton III at quarterback on Sunday against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

The Eagles have made the decision to bench Tanner McKee. Milton will be a desperate QB2 play for fantasy managers in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
