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.

Jayden Daniels Limited as He Works Toward Return

Wednesday, September 30, 6:24 AM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be limited in practice this week, according to Tashan Reed. Daniels traveled with the team to London after missing Week 3 with a dislocated left elbow, and head coach Dan Quinn has not ruled him out for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. Washington is still taking things slowly with Daniels, who remains week-to-week and will wear a brace on the elbow when he returns. Getting him back on the practice field is another positive step, but there is still work to do before he's cleared to start. Marcus Mariota would remain in line for another start if Daniels isn't ready.
