- 49ers rookie running back Marcus Lattimore has been cleared to practice. He won’t play in 2013 but it’s encouraging progress heading in 2014. Lattimore is a strong dynasty prospect in every sense of the word.
- Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will be 100% healthy before the Eagles next game with Arizona. However, it’s hard to imagine Vick usurping Nick Foles at this point. Vick is almost at the point of being droppable.
- Raiders running back Rashad Jennings will still be involved with the offense when incumbent Darren McFadden comes back. Neither are strong dynasty players and both are free agents after 2013. Expect the Raiders to either re-sign McFadden at a bargain or move on.
- Patriots running back Stevan Ridley lost another fumble Monday night. However, he was still in the game for a handful of plays after and was not completely in the dog house. I’d be nervous this off-season as a Ridley owner. You never know what the brain trust in New England is thinking.

Daily Dynasty Update – November 14th
- Saints receiver Lance Moore played just 35% of snaps this past week. It extends a disappointing season for Moore who was coming off his first 1,000 yard season in 2012. Feel free to move on from Moore in dynasty leagues.
- ESPN.com had an interesting stat about 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his effectiveness with and without Vernon Davis on the field. Furthermore, it speaks volumes to how critical good receiving options are to Kaepernick. Make sure San Francisco gets him some options before increasing his value in your dynasty league.
- Eagles quarterback Michael Vick acknowledged the obvious when he said he expected to be the backup to Nick Foles when he returns. It’s fair to wonder if this might be Vick’s last stop as a starter and it’s fair to drop him if you have to make a roster move.
- Everyone thinks Andrew Ellington should start at running back in Arizona…except Bruce Arians.
Daily Dynasty Update – November 6th
- 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith appears ready to come back. Hopefully Smith can steer clear of trouble and resume his All-Pro ways.
- Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers should only be out a few weeks which is a relief for his long-term value. Don’t go trading away Rodgers yet.
- Jacksonville has promoted rookie Denard Robinson to second-string running back. Robinson has come a long way since a mixed pre-season.
Daily Dynasty Update – November 2nd
- Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the rest of the season. A disappointing turn of events for Blackmon but not suprising. It’s a shame as Blackmon has proved he can be one of the best in the NFL. He’s too risky for me in dynasty leagues to keep on the roster.
- With the injury to Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton’s stock is soaring. Hilton will be taking Wayne’s position in the slot and should be the Colts WR1 for the rest of the year. Consider this his audition for dynasty leaguers to determine how good he can be.
- Bucs running back Doug Martin will eventually have surgery for his torn labrum. Martin is in the midst of a disappointing sophomore season but might be a good buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues.

Daily Dynasty Update – October 31st
- Lions receiver Ryan Broyles was put on injured reserve, ending his season. Broyles has dealt with injuries his entire career and it’s fair to wonder if he’ll ever play again. He can be safely dropped in dynasty formats.
- Same news for Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice as he’s out for the season with a torn ACL. Don’t look for Rice to be back with Seattle next year. He can also be dropped.
- Eagle quarterback Michael Vick will be out for a few more games with a hamstring pull. As the story speculates, Vick could be done in Philadelphia and he may find it very difficult to find another starting gig. His value is low right now.
- Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace is still not happy with his reduced role in the Dolphins offense. Don’t expect that to change anytime soon unless there are major coaching changes in Miami. His decreased dynasty value won’t change much until then either.
Daily Dynasty Update – October 30th
- Arizona is finally open to giving rookie running back Andre Ellington more touches. So are fantasy dynasty owners. We’ll see if it happens.
- Steelers linebacker Jarvis Jones was demoted recently. Not the end of the world for the rookie and may signify a good time to buy low in dynasty leagues.
- Giants running back Andre Brown is set to return after the Giants bye week. While probably never a RB1, he should be owned in dynasty leagues as he appears to be the Ron Dayne in the 21st century version of the Giants Thunder and Lightning.
- Saints rookie receiver Kenny Stills continues to perform well in the high-powered offense. He’ll never be a WR1 or even a WR2 but being a rookie in that offense will have value.
Daily Dynasty Update – October 19th
- With the trade deadline getting closer, there are several players on the trade block including receiver Kenny Britt from Tennessee. No one quite knows what the Titans plans are yet but with Kendall Wright providing some stability, the need for Britt in Tennessee is less. His stock might improve if he were traded but that’s a big if.
- Lions running back Theo Riddick will play more, if he’s available, due to the injury to Joique Bell. Neither are long-term solutions in your fantasy dynasty leagues but could be a throw-in to a trade down the road, especially to someone looking to handcuff Reggie Bush.
- Dallas receiver Miles Austin sat again as the Cowboys hope rest will fix what’s wrong with Austin and his hamstrings. He had an O-fer last week and is the fourth best option in the Cowboys pecking order after Dez Bryant, Jason WItten, and even Terrence Williams. You’d be wise to trade Austin as fast as you can.
- Chiefs tight end Anthony Fasano will most likely be playing this weekend. Rookie Travis Kelce was supposed to give Fasano a run for his money as the ‘move’ tight end but is out for the year. Fasano has value this year and maybe longer if Kelce continues to have issues next year.
Daily Dynasty Update – October 18th
- Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles might be getting the ball more if that’s possible. While this is great news for 2013, keep an eye on Charles in the near future to make sure the tread doesn’t completely wear off those tires.
- Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez stated he’s not asking for a trade. However, I’m sure Gonzalez didn’t envision the Falcons getting off to a 1-4 start which would lead one to believe he might give it another go. I’d be buying low on Gonzalez right now. Even if it’s for the last half of a season, he’s a top five tight end option and more so with Julio Jones out for the year.
- The Texans will start Case Keenum at quarterback Sunday. If Keenum can show anything against the Chiefs, don’t be surprised if Matt Schaub is permanently benched. Schaub has little to no value in dynasty circles anymore.
- Eagles quarterback Mike Vick is out again, giving Nick Foles another audition. It’s very possible Foles could be the starter going forward with another good showing. He threw for three touchdowns last week in a win over Tampa.
Daily Dynasty Update – October 17th
- Seattle receiver Percy Harvin will start practicing this week. It’s a great sign of Harvin’s progress but also means this week might be the last week you have a legitimate shot to trade for him.
- RGIII plans on running more. In the short-term, this could be a boon for Griffin’s fantasy value but you have to wonder how sustainable it is, especially in dynasty circles.
- Patriots receiver Danny Amendola has officially been diagnosed as concussed. You have to wonder how Amendola keeps getting hurt. His value is also all over the place in dynasty leagues – some probably think there’s still something there and would still want a decent return. While others might be ready to rid themselves of this walking injury report. His status in fantasy, in general, is a true toss-up.
- Arizona running back Ryan Williams has been a healthy scratch in each game this season. It’s safe to drop him in all formats, even deeper leagues.
- Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo is officially done for the season. But any astute dynasty player knows this would be a perfect time to pick him off someone else’s team, especially if they’re in it to win it this year.
Daily Dynasty Update – October 2nd
Hump day update:
- The Rams re-signed linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar yesterday and is expected to start immediately. Dunbar had a decent year last year with 114 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and four passes defended. At 28, Dunbar isn’t a bad option as a LB3 or LB4.
- Houston still plans to give running back Ben Tate 12-15 carries this Sunday, keeping hope alive that he’ll still share some of the running duties. Tate’s appeal is more in what he’ll do next year for dynasty owners as he’s expected to land a starting job somewhere.
- Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon is set to return to the field after a four game suspension. With all signs pointing to Jacksonville taking a quarterback in next year’s draft, Blackmon’s stock is probably at its lowest point now that it ever will be again. See what it takes to get him in your dynasty leagues and pray Jacksonville does the right thing.
- Patriots receiver Danny Amendola is set to return from injury which means Julian Edelman’s role as a target machine will probably decrease. A free agent after this year, Edelman has probably peaked in dynasty fantasy value (unless Amendola gets hurt again which is entirely possible).
Have a good Wednesday everyone!
