Andy Dalton Week 7 Outlook - Panthers at Eagles

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Oct 17th 2018, 1:16pm EDT

It appears that missing John Ross has had an effect on the offense overall, as Dalton went from throwing 299.3 yards per game with 11 touchdowns the first four games with Ross, to just 238.5 yards per game and three touchdowns the last two games without him. The Chiefs defense has been better the last three weeks, allowing just two passing touchdowns in the three games combined, though they have still allowed an average of 26.7 points per game, so where did the points come from? Well, they've allowed six rushing touchdowns in those games, so it's kind of a pick your poison thing with them. The cornerback trio of Kendall Fuller, Orlando Scandrick, and Steven Nelson have played much better than anyone expected them to, though none of them have the talent to hang with A.J. Green. They've now allowed 44 plays of 15-plus rushing yards/20-plus receiving yards, which is the most in the NFL (next closest team is at 37). They've also allowed three 400-yard games this year, so the yardage is there. It's hard to avoid a quarterback in a game with a 58.5-point over/under. He's definitely on the QB1 radar.
