The Bengals have placed Andy Dalton (thumb) on IR.

Fantasy Impact

There's no word on the actual extent of the injury, but with the Bengals still on the fringes of the playoff hunt, it's likely that Dalton needs surgery. Jeff Driskel played adequately in relief of Dalton on Sunday, but this move is likely a downgrade to the Cincinnati offense.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed 10-of-17 passes for 100 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 35-20 loss to the Browns in Week 12. He also tacked on two carries for 21 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Dalton connected with John Ross for a touchdown but later left the game with a right thumb injury after recovering a bad snap. He was replaced by Jeff Driskel and did not return. Dalton's status for Week 13 is unknown at this point. The Bengals will take on the Broncos in Week 13.

Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner is reporting that Andy Dalton is headed to the locker room with a wrist injury.

Fantasy Impact

Dalton went down after a botched shotgun snap and he got tackled by several Browns defenders. He looked in quite a bit of pain, so he may miss some time. Nothing is known yet for sure but the consensus around the airwaves seems to be that this injury might be serious. The Bengals offense would be downgraded all around without Dalton.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed 19-of-36 passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 24-21 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact

Dalton also tacked on 29 rushing yards on two carries. The veteran quarterback played reasonably well against one of the top defenses in the league, but the end result just wasn't in his favor. He will look to regroup against a tough Cleveland pass defense in Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton struggled in a Week 10 loss to the Saints. Dalton completed 12 of 20 passes for 153 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions as the Bengals were beaten 51-14.

Fantasy Impact

Dalton really dropped the ball against one of the most generous passing defenses in the league. The veteran quarterback has been trending downward for over a month now, although it didn't help that he was without star wideout A.J. Green. He will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Ravens.
