Fantasy Football, Week 10: High value plays for DraftKings
By Dylan Broady
Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals, $5,800
Stats: 2,102 passing yards, 17 touchdowns
Andy Dalton is ranked eighth among quarterbacks in passing touchdowns. Even without the presence of his all-pro wide receiver A.J. Green we still like his price and matchup in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints 31st-ranked pass defense.
Dalton has proven he can put up big numbers against the right opponents. Week 10 offers up the perfect opportunity for him to get back on track and have a good fantasy football output. Tyler Boyd will be taking over WR1 duties this Sunday, which is good for Dalton. Boyd has proven he can be a lethal force when called upon.
The Saints defense is tough against the run but outside of that they are in the bottom half of the league in terms of stopping opposing offenses. They have allowed 387 total yards and 311 passing yards per game. This defense can be exploited through the air, and Dalton has enough in Joe Mixon to set up the play action against them this weekend at home.
Dalton should have a pretty nice fantasy day considering he is playing at home and during the day. We all know his primetime struggles. Dalton this season is averaging 262 passing yards and two touchdowns per game. Dalton has ample opportunity in this matchup that you need to take advantage of as well on DraftKings.
Prediction: 300 passing yards, 3 touchdowns
