Fantasy Impact
Anyone who saw the play knew this was coming. While sliding on a QB scramble early in the third quarter, Dalton was hit in the head by LB Jon Bostic. The impact sent the QBs helmet flying. In a scary moment, Dalton writhed slowly on the grass before being attended to by medical personnel and eventually helped off the field and taken to the locker room. Bostic was subsequently ejected from the game. Dalton wasn't lighting up the fantasy scoreboard before the injury, and there is cause for alarm for managers rostering pieces of this offense.
