2026 Week 4 Eagles QB Depth Chart: Tanner McKee Moves Ahead of Andy Dalton

The Eagles are shuffling their quarterback depth chart for Sunday's game against the Rams, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Tanner McKee will move up to the No. 2 spot behind Jalen Hurts, bumping Andy Dalton out of the backup role Dalton had held for the past three weeks.

The move follows Dalton's disastrous Week 3 cameo. When Hurts left for a concussion check against the Bears, Dalton came on and threw a red-zone interception to Bears safety Dillon Thieneman. The Eagles lost 27-7 and fell to 2-1. Per Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, both McKee and Dalton are expected to be active Sunday, with other players landing on the inactive list due to injury.

Jalen Hurts

Hurts's injury status isn't flagged in the supplied data, but the concussion check in Week 3 is worth monitoring. If he's active and starts against the Rams, this depth chart news is largely irrelevant to his fantasy value. That said, managers in Week 4 should confirm his status before Sunday's game — the source story doesn't say he's been cleared or ruled out.

Tanner McKee

McKee's fantasy value is entirely contingent on Hurts going down — he's not a starter and the source story doesn't suggest otherwise. The upgrade to No. 2 matters only if Hurts can't finish the game. In dynasty formats, it's at least a signal that the Eagles organization still views McKee as the preferred emergency option over a veteran like Dalton.

Andy Dalton

Dalton's demotion is a direct consequence of the Week 3 interception. He's still expected to be active per McLane's report, but he's now the No. 3 QB. Fade him in every format — there's no plausible path to snaps unless both Hurts and McKee are unavailable.
