Andy Dalton's Miserable Day Contributes to Week 8 Loss

Monday, October 27, 8:37 AM

Andy Dalton went 16-for-24 for 175 yards with no TD passes and three turnovers in the Carolina Panthers' 40-9 loss on Sunday. The 15-year veteran had a miserable day, as he was sacked seven times, threw an interception, and fumbled twice. Before this week's matchup against Buffalo, the Panthers' QBs had not been sacked more than three times in a single game. In Dalton's first outing as the starting QB this season, the Panthers registered a season low in points and only put up a garbage time TD in the fourth quarter. Head coach Dave Canales said after the game that Bryce Young was close to suiting up for the game vs. Buffalo, suggesting that Dalton may not start in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. It could be another situation where Carolina falls behind, as Green Bay has scored 27-plus points in its last four games. If Young is the starter, he should only be used as a QB2 in superflex formats.

Jacoby Brissett Expected to Start for Cardinals in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 2:23 PM

The Arizona Cardinals are "once again planning to start" veteran Jacoby Brissett at quarterback against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable, but it appears a mid-foot sprain will keep him out of a second straight game. Brissett played well in his first start of the season in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, completing 27 of 44 pass attempts for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 32-year-old gets a tougher matchup in his second start against Green Bay. At best, Brissett profiles as a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats in Week 7.
