Andy Dalton

Andy Dalton enters Year 16 as a 38-year-old quarterback with 13.0 dynasty win-now value, ranked #135 at the position in Verdict’s dynasty score (19.0, declining trend). He posted 10.5 fantasy points in 2025 on a 44.3% snap share, which is stable but far from his prime. Dalton’s dynasty value trajectory indicates a low-utility QB with no significant upside.

Dalton logs 44.3% of Philadelphia’s offensive snaps under Kevin Patullo’s west coast scheme, which locks in his volume floor. The 2025 baseline — 293 passing yards on 25/37 accuracy, 1 passing TD, and 1 interception, along with -2 rushing yards on 5 carries — shows a low-volume, high-efficiency line item that scales in custom scoring where accuracy and TDs are prioritized.

Dalton carried a limited practice designation in Week 9 of 2025, indicating a non-major injury concern, but no missed game time and 17 starts logged at a 44.3% snap share suggest his durability remains a strength through age 38.

Snap share holds at 44.3% with weekly marks at 31.0% or 100.0% in certain games, but overall stability suggests no significant opportunity risk. Philadelphia’s west coast system under Kevin Patullo’s guidance supports a veteran QB like Dalton with a 67.6% completion rate and 1 TD on his 2025 resume. No QB2 threat exists on the depth chart.

Kevin Patullo’s west coast scheme with spread elements is built around accuracy and short-game rhythm, which suits Dalton’s veteran QB skills. The 44.3% snap share and stable trend indicate a system designed to optimize his experience rather than push him to higher volume.

Declining Verdict’s trade-value model tags Dalton as declining, reflecting his 10.5-point finish across 17 games in 2025 and a 44.3% snap share that does not threaten his role.

Ceiling clears 2025’s 10.5-point finish if passing TDs advance past 1 and accuracy exceeds 67.6% — the combination pays heavily in this custom format with +6 TDs and +0.5 accuracy. Floor tracks near 10.5 given locked 44.3% snap share and an unchanged scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
