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.

Josh Allen News

Josh Allen Remains an Elite Week 3 Option

Saturday, September 26, 5:35 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen put together another huge fantasy performance in Week 2, throwing for 248 yards and three touchdowns while adding 69 rushing yards and two more scores against Detroit. Through two games, Buffalo has scored 77 points, and Allen has accounted for nine total touchdowns without throwing an interception. Los Angeles has opened the season with consecutive losses, giving up 393 total yards to Arizona before allowing 305 to Las Vegas last week. The Chargers did force three turnovers against the Raiders, so this is not a defense Buffalo can completely overlook. None of that changes the fantasy equation with Allen. RotoBaller ranks him as the QB1 for Week 3, and his rushing work around the goal line continues to separate him from almost everyone else at the position. Allen belongs in lineups everywhere against Los Angeles.
