- 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a good day with 200 yards passing and two touchdowns. He didn’t need to do much as the 49ers dominated early.
- Cowboys running back Demarco Murray rumbled for 118 yards and a touchdown and sprinkled in three catches for 25 yards. Murray continues to be a low-end RB1 in dynasty formats.
- The receiver that won’t quit, Anquan Boldin, had another good day with eight catches for 99 yards. He’s still a top target in the 49er offense.

Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Panthers escape Bucs, 20-14
- Panthers rookie receiver Kelvin Benjamin had a nice debut with six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. He looks like he’s a keeper and should start shooting up dynasty rankings.
- Panthers tight end Greg Olsen continues to consistently perform as a low-end dynasty TE with eight catches for 83 yards and a touchdown.
- Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly turned in a solid performance with nine tackles and a sack. He’s clearly in the top-tier of linebackers for IDP dynasty.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Falcons beat Saints in shootout, 37-34
- Matt Ryan had a big day back with 448 yards and three touchdowns against a decent Saints defense. More days like that and he’ll be back in the QB1 tier in dynasty leagues.
- Saints running back Mark Ingram had a good day with 13 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns.
- Elite receiver Julio Jones had seven catches for 116 yards. He’s in the top-tier of dynasty receivers.
- On the other side of the field, rookie Brandin Cooks had seven catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. He could reach WR2 status before the end of the year.
- Falcons linebacker Paul Worrilow continues to rake with 15 tackles. He’s going to continue to flirt with LB1 status with double-digit tackle days like this.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Vikings destroy Rams, 34-6
- Vikings receiver Cordarrelle Patterson had a big day with over 100 yards rushing and a touchdown to go along with three catches for 26 yards. He’ll be a boom or bust player each week. We’re not sold on his dynasty prospects as a reliable receiver just yet.
- Rams receiver Brian Quick had a big day with seven catches for 99 yards. Quick has had promise for quite some time but one game will not change years of data.
- On the IDP side, Vikings defensive lineman Everson Griffen had two sacks today which is a great start. He should be a low-end DL1 in dynasty leagues.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Steelers escape Browns, 30-27
- As expected, the Steelers offense was on fire. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 365 yards and a touchdown with one interception. He should continue to put up those numbers and be a low-end QB1 in dynasty leagues.
- Le’Veon Bell had his best day as a pro with 109 yards rushing along with six catches for 88 yards. This should solidify his status as a low-end RB1 in dynasty leagues.
- Receiver Antonio Brown had a big day as well with 116 yards on five catches. He should continue to be firmly in the second-tier of dynasty receivers.
- On the Cleveland side, rookie running back Terrance West got 100 yards after Ben Tate left with an injury.
- Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins led the team with eight catches for 87 yards. He also led the team with 10 targets and should be a good volume play.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Eagles double up Jaguars 34-17
- After a slow start, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns. He should continue to be a QB1 option in dynasty leagues.
- Eagles running back LeSean McCoy had a good overall day with 74 yards on the ground with six catches for 41 yards.
- On the Jaguars side, Marqise Lee led the team in targets with 10 and had six catches for 62 yards.
- On the IDP side, linebacker Paul Posluszney led the team (again) with 12 tackles. He continues to be a LB1 in tackle-heavy leagues.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Bengals beat Ravens, 23-16
- Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had a 300 yard passing game with one touchdown. Dalton has quietly gotten better each year and shouldn’t be ignored in dynasty.
- Good news for Gio Bernard owners is his leading the carry count 14-4 while seeing a team-high 10 targets. He had 20 touches for 110 yards. A solid outing.
- Newsflash: A.J. Green is good.
- On the Ravens side, it looks like Dennis Pitta is back in a big way with 10 catches for 83 yards. He should be a TE1 in dynasty leagues.
- Young Bengals linebacker Emmanuel Lamur led the team with 11 tackles and a half sack.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1- Bills beat Bears, 23-20
- Jay Cutler did Jay Cutler things with 349 yards passing, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Expect more of the same, making him a borderline QB1 in dynasty leagues.
- Matt Forte had a big day with 82 yards rushing followed by eight catches for 87 yards. He continues to be a RB1 in dynasty leagues.
- For the Bills, CJ Spiller got 15 carries compared to Fred Jackson’s 7, which is encouraging.
- Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had a big day with eight catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. With potential injuries to Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall, Bennett could be a factor.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Titans take down Chiefs, 26-10
- Somehow, Titans quarterback Jake Locker had 266 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
- In the running game, Shonn Greene was your lead back with 15 carries followed by Dexter McCluster with nine carries and rookie Bishop Sankey with six. Sankey is still ranked high but needs to start closing the gap to be a value in dynasty.
- On the other side of the field, Jamaal Charles had only 19 yards on 7 carries with four catches for 15 yards. The Chiefs were behind most of the game and could explain his lack of production. Not time to worry yet.
- On the IDP side, Eric Berry had a game-high 15 tackles to go along with a pass defended. He’s a DB1 in all dynasty formats.
Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Miami beats down Patriots, 33-20
- Holy crap – Tom Brady had 56 pass attempts and completed only 29 of them. He added 249 yards and a touchdown. If this game is any indication, the Patriots will be chucking it this season. If you’re a win-now dynasty team, Brady could be useful.
- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski made his triumphant return with four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown. He also led the team in targets. He should quickly re-affirm his status as an elite dynasty tight end.
- In other Patriot receiver news, Julian Edelman picked up where he left off with six catches for 95 yards. He should continue to be a WR in PPR dynasty going forward.
- For Miami, there’s no more doubt who is the top option in the running game as Knowshon Moreno went off for 24 carries and 134 yards and a touchdown. Lamar Miller can be dropped.
- In IDP news, Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo had 12 tackles and a sack. He’s a legit LB1 in dynasty leagues.
