Summary

Quarterback Rank: #15All Players: #78

Dalton made strides his second season in the league, improving his numbers across the board. He set career highs in completion percentage, yardage and touchdowns. He scored 31 total touchdowns after having 21 his rookie season. Dalton also completed an impressive 62 percent of his passes. Dalton had eight multiple touchdown games and three 300-yard performances. He was a consistent force in the Bengals emerging offense. He should continue to make strides as a quarterback with more seasoning. Dalton doesn't have a huge arm, but he is accurate and does well with hitting his receivers in stride. He is a good fit for the Bengals' offense. Dalton has a good grasp of what the Bengals are trying to do offensively and has a great rapport with receiver A.J. Green. Dalton still needs to improve his decision making a little but that should come with time.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Dalton is a player on the rise. His yardage totals won't be near those of the elite guys but he is going to score some touchdowns and is always capable of that big yardage game. We wouldn't be surprised if he has more career highs this season. Look for a season with around 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. He is a low-end No. 1 or top backup for fantasy teams.

comments about Andy Dalton

Notes

May 23 10:04 am

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton has, during organized team activities, been focusing on improving the trajectory and accuracy of his throws while working with quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese. Dalton also is practicing a quicker dropback in the pocket. The club is hoping first-round TE Tyler Eifert will help stretch the offense so defensive attention doesn't squarely target WR A.J. Green.

Apr 08 04:13 pm

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton said he knows that he needs to be more accurate with his deep passes and expects to show improvement in that area. 'I think there are times where I didn't get those throws. That's one thing people have said about me since I was coming out of college. I'm going to get better. I know I need to get better. I'm going to make the improvement. I expect myself to make throws like that. I have to hit more throws down field. I also have to get better in other areas,' Dalton said.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton said he wants to be more of a leader on and off the field next season. 'The biggest thing I can do is take more control. Whether it be on the practice field or during a game, whatever it is, I need to step up and really show my leadership. That will be big. The more you play, especially being a quarterback, the more you're going to become a leader on the team,' Dalton said.

Mar 05 09:53 pm

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said Tuesday, March 5, in a radio interview that QB Andy Dalton needs to improve in every phase, specifically his deep accuracy and touch. 'He's got a long way to go,' Gruden said. 'He's done some great things for a second-year quarterback, won a lot of games and thrown some good touchdown passes, but we feel like he has not come close to his potential. That's our job to get it out of him.'

The Cincinnati Bengals appear to be searching for a backup quarterback to QB Andy Dalton with QB Bruce Gradkowski headed for free agency this offseason. However, they don't want to push Dalton out of the starting role, so they are unlikely to use early draft picks on a QB. Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese will take a look at North Carolina State QB Mike Glennon, Florida State QB EJ Manuel, Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson, Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib and University of Miami QB Zac Dysert this week. Glennon has been receiving the most praise from evaluators, and they believe he might be in the best position to succeed immediately in the NFL.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton was sacked 46 times this season, the most sacks of a Bengals QB since QBs Akili Smith and Scott Mitchell were dropped 52 times in 2000. However, offensive coordinator Jay Gruden feels the offensive line improved as the season went on. 'This is going to sound asinine, probably, but I think from a protection standpoint, as far as protection and blitzes, we're as good as anybody,' Gruden said. 'A lot of the sacks were Andy stepping up and there were sometimes the pocket seemed collapsed. We need to work on that.'

Jan 09 12:03 am

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden plans to work with QB Andy Dalton to get him more consistent from start to finish. 'It's easy to look at the negatives. You can see his start and then he kind of went down here at the end of the year,' Gruden said Tuesday, Jan. 8. 'It's our job to get him better and to focus on the positives and we can work on the things he needs to work on in the offseason.' The team plans to work more on the deep ball with Dalton, and the need for him to make more plays out of the pocket.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton completed 25 of his 39 pass attempts for 211 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 13 game against the San Diego Chargers. He also ran four times for five yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: Dalton didn't have a great game but was good enough for fantasy teams. He has been a low-end No. 1 all season.
