McKee is highlighted as a matchup upgrade at Washington; in his two starts this year in place of injured starter Jalen Hurts (calf, IR), he has been acceptable as a desperado option in 2QB/superflex leagues (12.1 fantasy points per game, 426 yards passing, 2 TDs, 1 INT with 2-1-0 rushing); WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and RB Saquon Barkley (back/hamstring) are injured; the Commanders are No. 1 in largest fantasy boost allowed to QBs (+7.1); the Eagles play in division on a similar grass surface in a similar outdoor stadium with reduced HFA; the Eagles are losing a day off Monday Night Football, but divisional road dogs tend to be sharp (752-641-37 ATS, 4.8% ROI), and HC Nick Sirianni has done well as a road dog (8-4 ATS, 29.9% ROI).

QB26 ranking against the Commanders on Sunday Night Football. McKee looked adequate against the Cowboys on Monday night, but that was a low bar for a backup quarterback. His entire offense is injured, and he's a pocket-passing quarterback with limited receiving options beyond A.J. Brown. His performance against the Cowboys was bottom-three compared to all other quarterbacks' performances against Dallas dating back to Week 1 of last season.
