SIT ‘EM

Projected Points: 14.7. Quarterback. Bengals. Andy Dalton. 1. player. 56

Andy Dalton had a nice game against the Browns, but who doesn’t have nice games against the Browns? He threw for four touchdowns in that game and finally got the Bengals in the win column.

This week, however, Dalton’s going to have a tough time building on that success. The former TCU quarterback is going up against the vaunted Bills defense, a unit that has been stunning its opponents.

Buffalo picked off Matt Ryan twice a week ago and we all know that’s rare for Ryan in recent years. With Dalton being turnover-prone, this is a bad match-up for sure. He’s already struggled against weaker defenses and now he’ll get a tough one that is becoming a pro at intercepting the football.

If you have a quarterback on a bye and Andy Dalton is your backup, I’d turn to the waiver wire. He’s not a good play this week.
