Saints' Andy Dalton will start Week 8 game against Raiders

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton will start Week 8's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Dennis Allen.

What It Means:

Dalton will remain the Saints starter for Sunday's showdown with the Raiders. Jameis Winston (ankle, back) is reportedly healthy and this decision is being made for offensive reasons. Dalton has outperformed Winston and will be the starter, with Winston moving into a backup role. Our models expect Dalton to complete 19.8 passes on 31.1 attempts in Week 8.

Dalton's Week 8 projection includes 208.8 yards, 1.31 touchdowns, 0.79 interceptions, and 14.2 FanDuel points. His salary is $7,100.
