Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals (ADP: 117)

Should you choose to wait further or miss out on some of the aforementioned players in your Superflex fantasy football drafts, then Andy Dalton could be a nice consolation prize. Dalton’s current ADP is QB27, going in the back half of the tenth round in Superflex and 2-QB leagues. Guys like Sam Darnold and Nick Foles are going ahead of him, but I believe that Dalton has much more upside than either of them.

Dalton missed five games in 2018 but finished admirably as the QB24. From Weeks 1-12, he was the QB16. It was not a great season for the Cincinnati Bengals, and most do not believe 2019 will bring a ton of success either. The loss of first-round pick Jonah Williams for the season doesn’t help matters.

Regardless of how the Bengals finish this season, there is still a lot to like about this offense. Dalton has strong weapons around him like A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd. Both Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard are respectable pass-catchers behind the backfield. All of them, except for maybe Bernard, are considered high-end fantasy guys at their respected positions. So why not take the guy throwing them the ball?

This is probably Dalton’s last season in Cincinnati. So if you’re drafting for dynasty, then I wouldn’t advise Dalton so much in your Superflex fantasy football league. The Bengals drafted Ryan Finley in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and it’s highly likely that they look to add another one in a stacked 2020 class. For redraft leagues though, he could be a sleeper pick.

Dalton hasn’t finished as a QB1 since 2013 when he was fifth overall. Typically, Dalton finishes as a high-end QB2 in the 13-17 range, provided he stays healthy. Assuming that’s where he finishes again, that’s a pretty good value for someone going as the QB27.
