Andy Dalton News
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.

Jacoby Brissett News
Saturday, September 19, 12:12 AM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett went 27-for-37 for 277 yards and one touchdown in Week 1. His production in the 26-14 upset over the Chargers was good enough for him to finish as the QB15 last week. Brissett will face a much stiffer challenge in Week 2, when Arizona takes on the Seattle Seahawks. In the NFL Kickoff Game, Seattle held Patriots quarterback Drake Maye to 178 passing yards, intercepted three of his passes, and sacked him three times. Seattle's secondary took away Maye's options downfield and forced him to operate underneath, inhibiting his production. Brissett took advantage of similar tactics employed by the Chargers last week, but will face a superior personnel group and coaching against the Seahawks. Brissett is unlikely to revisit last week's modest success in Week 2 and should only be considered in two-QB and superflex leagues.
