Andy Dalton signs one-year deal with the Bears

Mar 16, 2021

Former Cowboys' QB Andy Dalton is signing a one-year, $10 million deal, with the chance to earn another $3 million in incentives, with the Chicago Bears, per sources.

Fantasy Impact:

Bears fans headed into the free agency period hoping for a Russell Wilson trade, but (so far) all they got was a Dalton signing. The contract value ($10 million plus another $3 million in incentives) indicates that the Bears' view him as the likely starter in 2021, though this certainly doesn't preclude Chicago using a draft pick on their potential QB of the future. Dalton will be a fringe QB2 streamer if he does start in 2021.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
