Andy Dalton Fantasy

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced that quarterback Andy Dalton will start on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in the Week 18 regular season finale. Rookie Justin Fields was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list this week, and it was expected all along that Dalton would make the start if Fields wasn't cleared from the league's protocols. The 34-year-old Red Rifle has a good matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to QBs this year, but Dalton has been extremely mediocre in his last three starts. In his last three starts against the Lions, Cardinals and Giants, he's gone 68-for-115 for 719 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions. You can find better QB2 options.

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton completed 18-of-35 passes for 174 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the team's 29-3 win over the Giants. The Bears defense created turnovers on the Giants first two offensive possessions, setting up some easy scores early for the Bears. Playing with a huge lead, Dalton merely needed to manage the game the rest of the way and make some throws when needed to. Dalton is not a fantasy option heading into the final week of the season plus rookie quarterback Justin Fields' (ankle) health will need to be monitored next week before the Bears officially name their starter.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed on Friday that quarterback Andy Dalton will start in Week 17 against the New York Giants. With rookie Justin Fields (ankle) listed as questionable, Nick Foles, who started and got the win over the Seattle Seahawks last week, will be Dalton's backup. The Bears want Fields fully healthy before he returns to the field, which could come in a meaningless Week 18 game. Dalton has been predictably mediocre in four starts for the Bears this year, and he's thrown six touchdowns and six interceptions with an ugly 38.1 QBR in 153 passing attempts. Even against a very beatable Giants defense, the Red Rifle will be a low-end QB2 for those in superflex leagues in a low-volume Bears passing attack.
