2. Tanner McKee

Tanner McKee is a safe pick to be inactive again this week. The 2023 sixth-round pick hasn't appeared in a game yet with Jalen Hurts not missing any contests and veteran Marcus Mariota serving as the primary backup.

That's left McKee riding the pine, though he's still able to dress on gamedays thanks to the NFL's recently implemented third QB rule. If Hurts and Mariota are both forced to leave a contest due to injury or ejection, then the rookie would be allowed to take over under center.

While it's unlikely McKee sees any time due to this rule, it's still worth noting, especially since Hurts is playing through a knee injury that's clearly bothering him right now.
