- Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson did it again with 201 passing yards and two touchdowns to go along with 122 yards rushing and another touchdown. He’s a bona fide QB1 in any dynasty format.
- Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson broke out with 157 yards on five catches and 11 targets. and a touchdown. We expect only one Redskin receiver to produce each game so we’d avoid altogether.
- Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner was all over the field with eight tackles, a sack and two interceptions. He could challenge for top LB in dynasty formats

Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Patriots destroy Bengals 43-17
- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady looked like his old self with 292 yards and two touchdowns. We don’t expect it to last and you shouldn’t either. Brady is old and an average fantasy quarterback.
- Patrios running back Stevan Ridley had a breakout game with 113 yards and a touchdown. We’d like to see more games like this before we’re comfortable with Ridley as a RB2.
- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski continues to get better with six catches and 100 yards plus a touchdown. We gain more confidence each week Gronk stays healthy and performs.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Chargers shutout Jets, 31-0
- Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers continues to impress with 288 yards passing and three touchdowns. He has the look of a low-end QB1 in dynasty leagues.
- Chargers running back Braden Oliver came on to spell an injured Donald Brown and lit up the Jets for 114 yards rushing plus 68 yards receiving on four catches and two total touchdowns.
- A bright spot for the Jets was linebacker David Harris with 10 tackles. It was the best game of the season for Harris who should continue to be a LB3 in dynasty formats.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – 49ers upend Chiefs, 22-17
- 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a pedestrian day with 201 yards passing and a touchdown plus only 18 yards rushing. Kap is no more than a high-end QB2 at this point.
- Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles continues to come back from injury with only 80 yards rushing. To be fair, he was playing a good defense and should be closer to his output from last year as the season wears on.
- Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston got another sack, bringing up his total to six for the season. Houston is a LB1 in big-play leagues
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Broncos destroy Cardinals 41-20
- Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had a big day with four touchdowns and a personal record of 479 yards. He’ll be the top quarterback this year in fantasy but, depending on your needs, could be traded.
- The biggest beneficiary was receiver Demaryius Thomas with 226 yards and two touchdowns. Thomas is still an elite option if Manning is in town.
- Another receiver, Emmanuel Sanders, had a good day with 101 yards on seven catches. However, you have to wonder what his value is now that Welker is back. Be cautious and trade if you can.
- A bright spot for Arizona was running back Andre Ellington with only 32 yards rushing but 112 yards receiving on four catches and a touchdown. He’s quietly established himself as a low-end RB1.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Panthers surprise Bears, 31-24
- Bears quarterback Jay Cutler continued his low-end QB1 ways with 289 yards and two touchdowns plus 22 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown. As long as the Bears are playing in close games or from behind, they’ll have a reason to pass.
- Bears running back Matt Forte continued his RB1 ways with 61 yards rushing plus 12 catches for 105 yards receiving and a touchdown. There’s just no stopping Forte as one of the most consistent backs out there.
- Panthers tight end Greg Olsen may have had some additional motivation playing against his old team with six catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Olsen will never have as much upside as the elite tight ends in dynasty but his floor is higher than most.
- Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly dominated the middle with 15 tackles, his best output of the season, Kuechly is picking up where he left off last year.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Browns come back against Titans, 29-28
- Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer continues to hold off Johnny Manziel with another strong performance including 292 yards and three touchdowns. If the Browns keep winning, Hoyer will keep playing.
- Browns running back Ben Tate had a great day back with 123 yards on the ground. He out touched rookie Terrance West 3-1 and should be a decent play as a RB2
- Titans receiver Justin Hunter had his best day of the year with three catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. He just hasn’t been consistent enough to warrant anything more than a WR4/5.
- Titans safety Michael Griffin had a huge day with 14 tackles, a sack and a pass defended. He’s not known as a dynasty asset but with more days like today, Griffin could trend up.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Eagles survive Rams, 34-28
- Even though Rams quarterback Austin Davis looks like he’s impressing with 375 yards and three touchdowns, most of it came in garbage time and he probably won’t be a starter next year. Be cautious in dynasty leagues.
- Eagles running back LeSean McCoy struggled again with 81 yards on 24 carries to go along with five yards on four catches. It’s not time to bail on McCoy yet but each week that he doesn’t bust out gets us closer.
- Rams receiver Brian Quick continues to be the most reliable option in St. Louis and should be a decent dynasty option going forward. He’s already producing as a WR3 with shaky play around him.
- Rams safety T.J. McDonald had a good day with 11 tackles and a pass defended. He had been touted as a DB2 in dynasty circles and finally showed it today.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Giants beat Falcons 30-20
- Giants quarterback Eli Manning continues to become more efficient with 200 yards and two touchdowns. With new personnel, it’s possible Manning regains his QB2 look but we’ll wait and see.
- Falcons receiver Julio Jones continues to show why he’s a top end WR in dynasty with 11 catches for 105 yards on 16 targets. He can’t be stopped.
- Giants rookie receiver Odell Beckham had a solid debut with four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. It’s a promising debut albeit against a bad defense.
- Falcons linebacker Paul Worrilow continues to rack up the tackles with 14. He’s averaging 12 tackles a game while the defense continues to struggle.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Saints survive Buccaneers, 37-31
- Saints quarterback Drew Brees slung it around for 371 yards, two touchdowns but three interceptions. Brees hasn’t found his rhythm this year which could mean the beginning of the end.
- In, possibly, his last start for this year, Saints running back Khiry Robinson had 89 yards and a touchdown. Robinson is averaging more than five yards a carry this year and should be the primary back in New Orleans next year. Count him as a RB3 in dynasty leagues.
- With rookie Mike Evans out, Tampa receiver Vincent Jackson broke out with eight catches for 144 yards. He should still be considered a WR2/3 in dynasty leagues.
- Bucs linebacker Lavonte David continues to show why he’s a LB1 in dynasty formats with 14 tackles and a pass defended.
