Andy Dalton reportedly named Saints starter Thursday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton will start Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, per Ed Werder of ESPN.
What It Means:
Dalton will make a fourth straight start for the Saints and Jameis Winston will be the QB3 on Thursday. Winston was removed from the injury report, so this looks like it might be a permanent switch under center for New Orleans. Dalton has thrown a single touchdown pass in each outing and he's been below 200 yards in two straight weeks. Kamara is leading the Saints with 7.5 targets per game this month, followed by Chris Olave (6.5) and Marquez Callaway (5.3).
The Cardinals have the No. 25 pass defense and top overall run defense in numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics, so the Saints might try and lean more on the passing game Thursday night. Dalton has a $14,000 salary on the single-game slate and our models project him for 13.1 FanDuel points.
