Andy Dalton may be remembered most for his Thursday night debacle, but if you forgive him for that and for a terrible game against a stout Indianapolis pass defense, he has averaged 246.5 yards, 1.7 touchdowns, and 17.6 fantasy points in his last six games.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trending upward in fantasy points allowed to defenses, but still entered Week 12 as the worst pass defense according to our metrics. It's easy to remember the floor Dalton can provide, but he has tallied at least 19.4 fantasy points in three of his last eight games.

I'm not implying you should feel confident about him, but the numbers are actually quite nice for Dalton lately.
