Backup quarterback Tanner McKee is slated to lead the Eagles' offense.

The writer argues that Blue is more likely to feature prominently against his former team due to several injuries in Philadelphia's backfield. Starter Saquon Barkley is sidelined alongside Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley, leaving Blue, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele to handle running back duties for the Eagles.
