CHI QB Andy Dalton - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Detroit Lions

Andy Dalton came in last week after Justin Fields suffered a rib injury, and he'll be starting for the Bears on Thanksgiving vs. the Lions. He played well last week, finishing with 201 yards and two touchdowns while playing about half of the offensive snaps. In fact, it's the only time this season a Bears QB has thrown two touchdowns in a single game. But it came in a favorable matchup, against an injured Ravens secondary. This week Dalton will draw a surprisingly tough matchup vs. the Lions. Plus, Dalton will likely be without WR1 Allen Robinson, who was inactive last week (hamstring). We have Dalton as a bottom-five option among starting QBs in Week 12. He'll likely barely finish above 200 yards, with a low chance of multiple touchdowns and no rushing floor like Fields would provide.
