Andy Dalton Leading Eagles QB2 Battle

Thursday, August 20, 12:24 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Andy Dalton "still appears to be the leader" in the team's backup quarterback battle, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Dalton had a rough showing in the Eagles' first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens last Saturday, but Berman writes that the veteran "showed improvement" during the team's joint practice session with the New England Patriots on Wednesday. Dalton's competition for the QB2 role behind Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia is Tanner McKee, who has played in six games (two starts) since being picked by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2023 Draft. Dalton obviously has significantly more NFL experience, as he's logged 169 career starts across 15 seasons. As long as Hurts stays healthy, neither Dalton nor McKee will play a fantasy-relevant role. Still, fantasy managers in deeper, two-quarterback formats looking for the handcuff option to Hurts may want to target Dalton.

Daniel Jones News

Daniel Jones on the Streaming Radar for Week 4

Monday, September 28, 8:20 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has emerged as a viable streaming option in fantasy football for Week 4 against the Washington Commanders. Jones is coming off an ugly three-turnover performance, but he still managed to tally a respectable 235 passing yards in the process. Now, he gets a relatively soft matchup in the form of the Commanders, who just surrendered a whopping 379 passing yards and four touchdowns to Sam Darnold. While Washington's offense is playing better than expected without Jayden Daniels (elbow), its defense continues to have plenty of question marks. The Commanders have played in numerous shootouts this year, and we could see Week 4 following the same pattern. The Colts are far from a lock to win, but Jones has a very good chance to put together his best fantasy performance of the season against Washington. He's worth streaming as a mid-range QB2 with additional upside.
