Andy Dalton Fantasy

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton is viewing his one-year deal as a chance to set up the second half of his career as a starter, while doing what he can to help the team in the backup QB role this season. Dalton knows the Cowboys are Dak Prescott's team, but in a conference call with reporters explained how the opportunity to be coached by Mike McCarthy and try and help Dallas with a championship was a great chance to learn and try and land a starting job next offseason. Dalton is a three-time Pro-Bowler, but the Bengals moved on from him after selecting Joe Burrow first overall in this year's draft after three-straight losing seasons. He won't carry much fantasy value riding the bench, but dynasty owners should be patient as we've likely not seen the last of Dalton as a starter in the NFL.

Former Cincinnati Bengals long-time quarterback Andy Dalton is signing a one-year deal worth up to $7 million with the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, according to a source. The deal includes $3 million guaranteed. Most expected Dalton to land in Jacksonville with his ex-head coach in Jay Gruden as the offensive coordinator there, but Dalton instead chooses to go home to Texas to back up Dak Prescott for a year. If Prescott were to get hurt and Dalton stepped in, he'd definitely be an intriguing QB2 in two-quarterback leagues with a stacked offense in Dallas. The Cowboys had one of the best drafts last week when wideout CeeDee Lamb fell into their laps, and now they'll have one of the better backup options in the league as insurance for the franchise man in Prescott.

The New York Jets have shown some level of interest in free-agent quarterback Andy Dalton, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The team has categorized their interest as "due diligence." QuarterbackSam Darnold is expected to remain the starter in 2020, but the team wants tosolidify the backup role. Both David Fales and fourth-round pick James Morgan are unproven talent with little to zero professional experience. It's unclear whether Dalton would be interested in a backup role in New York. Regardless, it sounds like the Jets are covering their bases and throwing their hat into the ring. Dalton figures to have very little to no fantasy value in 2020, depending on where he lands.
