No. 3 – Andy Dalton
The Red Rifle appears to have figured it out entering his fifth season. Last year Dalton had 19 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. Through six weeks he already has 14 touchdowns, and possibly even more impressive, only two interceptions.
Prior to this year Dalton has been good, but not great. He has led his team to the playoffs every year he has been in the league, but is yet to get his first playoff win. His career passer rating is an average 87.8. So far in 2015 his rating is 116.1.
Dalton’s season will ultimately be judged on what the Bengals do in the playoffs this time around, but if his start is any indication of what is to come, they will be a force to be reckoned with come January.
