- Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had a slow day by his standards with 237 yards and three touchdowns. He’ll be an elite option in dynasty for the 2-3 years he has left.
- Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas continued his hot streak with 10 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. He’ll continue to be an elite option as long as Peyton is there.
- Jets rookie tight end Jace Amaro had his best game of the year with 10 catches for 68 yards on 12 targets. There just isn’t another target in New York besides Eric Decker which means Amaro should continue to rack up targets.
- Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson had a big day for a lineman with eight tackles and a sack. He’s gotten off to a bit of a slow start but is no worse than a DL2 in dynasty formats.
Monthly Archives: October 2014
Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Patriots beat Bills, 37-22
- Don’t call it a comeback but Patriots quarterback Tom Brady went off with 361 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. We’re not ready to say Brady’s a QB1 again but more games like that and it’ll happen.
- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski continues to be a TE1 when healthy with seven catches and 94 yards on nine targets. There will always be risk involved but he is a TE1 no matter what.
- Meanwhile, Patriots receiver Julian Edelman reclaimed his target crown with 12 and hauled in nine catches for 91 yards. He’s next in line for targets after Gronk and will continue to be a WR2 in PPR leagues.
- On the other side of the ball, Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham led the team in tackles with 11. He has ample opportunity since linebacker Kiko Alonso was sidelined the whole year. He could be a LB3.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Recap – Week 6 – Panthers, Bengals tie 37-37
- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a QB1 day with 284 yards passing, two passing touchdowns and an interception plus 107 yards rushing and another touchdown. If he can string more of these together, he’ll be in the top-tier again.
- On the other side of the field, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton lit it up with 323 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and threw in 25 yards rushing. Dalton can be a low-end QB1 in dynasty formats.
- Meanwhile, Bengals running back Gio Bernard had another RB1 day with 137 yards and a touchdown plus four catches for 20 yards. He’s entering the top RB conversation in dynasty formats.
- Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly had a boring day with 13 tackles. He continues to be a LB1 in dynasty formats.
Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Packers escape Dolphins, 27-24
- Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was his usual efficient self with 264 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Him and Andrew Luck are the top-tier quarterbacks to own in dynasty.
- Packers receiver Jordy Nelson was also his usual self with nine catches for 107 yards and a touchdown. He’s a WR1 in all dynasty formats.
- On the other side of the field, Dolphins rookie receiver Jarvis Landry broke out with six catches and 75 yards plus a touchdown on eight targets. He could be the WR2 in Miami soon and have some value.
Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Browns pound Steelers, 31-10
- Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell continues to show his RB1 ability even in a loss. He had 82 yards rushing with 23 yards on four catches. The Steelers don’t look good as a team but Bell looks solid.
- In other Steelers new, receiver Antonio Brown is also team-proof with seven catches and 118 yards. He’s a legit WR1 in dynasty formats going forward.
- Browns tight end had a breakout game with 102 yards on three catches and a touchdown. Cameron’s had a down year compared to last year but this provides a glimmer of hope
- Browns linebacker Karlos Dansby had a big day with 11 tackles and a sack. Despite his age, Dansby is still a fine LB2 in dynasty formats.
Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Lions down Vikings, 17-3
- Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had a tough day against a god defense with 188 yards passing with three interceptions. It’s only his second start against a very good defense so it’s not a surprise. Bridgewater remains a hold.
- Vikings rookie running back Jerick McKinnon had a good day as the presumed starter with 40 yards rushing to go along with six catches for 42 yards. McKinnon should be the starter the rest of the way so his stock is up.
- Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah had a breakout game with five tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. More days like that and he’ll fulfill his DL1 status in dynasty.
Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Colts escape Texans, 33-28
- Colts quarterback Andrew Luck continues his hot streak 370 yards and three touchdowns with an interception. Each week like this further solidifies his case a the top QB in dynasty.
- The main beneficiary of Luck’s performance was receiver T.Y. Hilton with nine catches for 223 yards and a touchdown. He has the most upside of all the Colts receivers.
- On the Houston side, running back Arian Foster looks like his old self with 109 yards and two touchdowns rushing to go with three catches for 32 yards. He’s an ideal RB2 in dynasty leagues.
- Houston defensive end J.J. Watt had a ridiculous night with two sacks along with a fumble return for a touchdown. There’s simply no better IDP player right now than Watt.

Daily Dynasty Update – October 8th
Redskins tight end Jordan Reed may actually play this week. His stock has probably taken a hit in dynasty leagues due to the fact the can’t stay on the field. However, he is a good buy-low candidate.- Bucs coaches continue to claim that Doug Martin is safe but his production doesn’t show it. We can’t reasonably view him as a RB1 until he starts performing like one.
- Vikings running back Adrian Peterson should be on trial as soon as December 1. Since that’s the earliest Peterson can clear his name, we don’t expect him to play this year. His future value is in serious doubt as well.
