3. Andy Dalton

Cincinnati’s quarterback suffered a miserable game against the Broncos, missing on 10 of his passes, suffering four sacks and tossing an interception. So Andy Dalton should be delighted to see a Dolphins defense that allowed Browns rookie Cody Kessler to throw for 244 yards come to town.

There wasn’t an issue the Dolphins weren’t guilty of in coverage last week, as Kessler was allowed to spread the ball around and rip off big plays deep.

Those are skills the Cincinnati offense is built to foster. Coordinator Ken Zampese needs to get everybody involved this week. So Dalton should be targeting rookie receiver Tyler Boyd and running back Giovani Bernard early.

However, he shouldn’t waste the chance to test these Dolphins deep. Some vertical strikes to Brandon LaFell are in order. But Dalton will get back on track if his running game finally clicks into gear.
