Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact: 

Driskel closed out the game against Cleveland throwing for 155 yards and a TD as the Bengals tried to come from behind against the Browns.

Sitting at 5-6, but still in the hunt, one has to wonder if the team brings back Green with Dalton out, or if they still try to make a playoff push.
