Andy Dalton QB2 Without Top Weapon
6 years agoThough the matchup against the New Orleans Saints is a good one, Dalton can't be trusted as anything more than a QB2 in Week 10. A.J. Green will miss the contest, and Dalton has been a top-12 quarterback in just 4-of-11 games without his top weapon and holds a 11/10 touchdown-to-interception ratio in those games (QB17 average). Beyond emerging star Tyler Boyd, the Bengals have John Ross and Alex Erickson (combined 33 career receptions). The Saints have allowed big passing numbers in three straight games, which offers some hope, but it's hard to see Dalton approaching his ceiling without his top option in the passing game.
