Andy Dalton has looked 'sensational'

Aug 02, 2014

Asked Saturday afternoon to sum up Andy Dalton's first few days of training camp, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson used one word.

"Sensational."

A little over-dramatic?

Not if you've seen Dalton practice and handle himself around his teammates and reporters the past 10 days.

Passes that Dalton struggled to deliver last season, he's hitting. Progressions he might have missed or didn't get to before, he's spotting. Personality traits that some thought he lacked, he's suddenly got those, too.

It's like a case of the body snatchers.

So far.

Fantasy Impact:

So far is the key word. However fantasy-wise, Dalton has finished #17, #12 and #4 his first three seasons. Of course in the real-life playoffs, it's another story. This year, we rank Dalton 17th, putting him in good shape to be a decent QB2 for your team yet again. Given the depth at QB this year, Dalton is a guy you can eye in the 14th round according to ADPs.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
