While Hill owners got to watch their running back stand on the sidelines last Sunday, Dalton owners jumped with joy as their QB amassed well over 35 fantasy points.
That explosive outing has Dalton at number three overall in terms of the highest-scoring fantasy quarterbacks, behind only Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers - not bad, not bad at all. It was also Dalton’s fifth straight multi-touchdown game dating back to last year, and certainly has the Bengals signal caller in the QB1 discussion. When it’s all said and done, though, that near-40 points last week will likely be more of an anomaly than it will be the norm.
Dalton was great in the first couple of weeks - yet he only hovered around 20 fantasy points per game, which is right where you expect him to stay for the remainder of 2015. While he does have it in him to put up numbers like he did this last week, game flow and a leaky Ravens secondary are at least partially responsible. He’s certainly a QB1 as long as A.J. Green remains healthy, but more of a top-10 or top-15 quarterback than a top-5 option. With that being said, if you can get top-5 value for Dalton in a trade, go for it.
