Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is returning home Week 5 against New England after his worst performance of the season during a loss at Cleveland. Dalton has been much better at home.
In his last six games at home, Dalton has completed 112 of 181 passes for 1,208 yards with 12 touchdowns and just two picks. The Bengals have lost both road contests this season and Dalton has thrown for 488 in those two games with two touchdowns and three picks.
Although he is much better at home, he has a tough matchup against New England. The Patriots are giving up the eighth-fewest Fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on the season. Before Atlanta's Matt Ryan threw for 421 yards with two touchdowns last week against them, the Patriots had not given up a passing TD in back-to-back games with four interceptions.
Dalton has not been a strong Fantasy option for most of this season and we don't see him coming out of that Week 5. Fantasy owners really only should be using Dalton in very deep Fantasy leagues or leagues where two quarterbacks are necessary. He is a low-end No. 2 for Sunday's game.
