Andy Dalton Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton played three series during Thursday's win over the Redskins, finishing the night going 5-for-9 for 36 yards and an interception early in the first quarter that was brought back 96 yards for a score. While Dalton didn't see much work, rookie quarterback Ryan Finley was impressive, throwing for 150 yards and two touchdowns on 20-for-26 passing. Nonetheless, Dalton will start the season, at least initially, with Finley waiting for his chance to go as the team's No. 2 option.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton looked solid during Saturday's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dalton went 7-for-9 with 80 yards on his first and only drive of the night which was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by rookie running back Trayveon Williams. The 31-yard-old looked comfortable in his first unofficial game under new head coach Zac Taylor, spreading the ball around in addition to converting a series of third downs. The veteran has never been a serious every week player, but if the matchup is right this upcoming fantasy season and you have a void to fill, Dalton could be your guy.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton may be using more play fakes this upcoming season. With the arrival of new head coach Zac Taylor, Dalton may utilize play-action more often than he has in previous seasons. Under Taylor, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff averaged 10 yards per play-action attempt last season, good for fourth in the league. However, with the retirement of guard Clint Boling and the season-ending injury to tackle Jonah Williams (shoulder), along with the Bengals having only a step of separation on just 53.8 percent of their targets last season, it will be an uphill battle for the 32-year-old. If whats left of the offensive line can hold it together, however, Dalton will have plenty of time to utilize who is available to him on the offensive side of the ball under a new system.
