Andy Dalton News
Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final Week 5 injury report against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bears had been saying all along that Dalton would remain the starter once he was healthy, but that tune changed earlier this week when they announced that rookie Justin Fields would start this weekend against Las Vegas. Dalton will begin this Sunday's game as the backup, but he could be an option to take over mid-game if Fields struggles against a much-improved Raiders defense. Fields took nine sacks in a disastrous first NFL start in Week 3, but he looked better in the Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. The 33-year-old Dalton would only be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if he regains the starting gig down the line.
Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) has once again got the support of his head coach as the team's starting quarterback upon his return to the lineup. Justin Fields had a solid showing in Week 4, but it was still not enough to secure his role as the QB1 in Chicago. With this news, Allen Robinson II and Darnell Mooney can be downgraded in terms of fantasy value, as Dalton has not shown he can be relied upon to be an effective passer. Whenever Dalton returns to the lineup, he is no more than a QB2 in deeper leagues because of his limited ceiling in the Chicago offense. Robinson could post solid WR2 numbers, so he will be the only pass-catcher in the Chicago offense that is worth a spot in fantasy lineups on a weekly basis.
Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 contest against the Detroit Lions, with Justin Fields set to start and Nick Foles backing Fields up. Head coach Matt Nagy made a comment during the week that the starting role this week was a "game-time decision," though Nagy ended up making the decision on Saturday. That level of uncertainty means that this might not be Dalton's job once he's healthy, especially f Fields can show some talent against the Lions this week.

The plan from the Chicago Bears is to have Andy Dalton start the season as the number one quarterback. He started nine games last year for the Dallas Cowboys after Dak Prescott broke his ankle. Dalton went a respectable 4-5 on a team that was going...
