{"averagePoints":14.7,"percentOwned":68.3,"lastPoints":10,"pointsSEASON":44,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Only a broken thumb in Week 14 kept Dalton from posting a top-five fantasy season among QBs. He produced a top-10 week in 58 percent of his complete games, which was the fourth-best mark among QBs and actually better than Cam Newton's. That level of play represented a serious step up from Dalton's first four seasons, when he hovered around the fringe of QB1 territory. Dalton increased both his accuracy (career-best 66.1 percent completion rate) and big-play ability (career-high 8.4 ypa) last year. Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu are gone, but A.J. Green is still wearing orange and black, and TE Tyler Eifert and RB Giovani Bernard remain major threats as well. If you prioritize other positions early in your draft, you could do worse than ending up with Dalton.","seasonId":2016,"date":"Fri Jul 15"},"positionRank":17,"playerId":14012,"percentChange":4.6,"averageDraftPosition":109.8,"fullName":"Andy Dalton","mostRecentNews":{"news":"Dalton completed 22 of 31 passes for 296 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Thursday's 22-7 victory over the Dolphins. He also netted minus-12 yards on six rushes and fumbled twice but recovered both.","spin":"The veteran signal-caller turned in an efficient performance against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to defend the pass through the first four weeks. Dalton's most spectacular play came on a first-quarter scramble where he deftly side-stepped the rush and slung a 51-yard heave downfield to a leaping A.J. Green, who snared the pass at its highest point. He also found four other receivers on the night, but looked Green's way the most by far (10 targets). Through four weeks, Dalton has put the ball up 146 times, as compared to the 116 attempts he tallied over the same time period last season. Despite the considerable uptick, he's only netted three touchdown passes, but the Bengals' aggressive air approach, if it endures, could certainly pay dividends for Dalton's fantasy owners throughout the season.","date":"Thu Sep 29"},"projectedDifference":1.932124275,"totalPoints":44,"projectedPoints":16.598790942}
