Get ready for the Derek Carr bandwagon to get more crowded as he looks better in camp, at the moment, than Matt Schaub. Of course, there’s no pads or live-action yet so reserve judgement until then.- Giants linebacker Jon Beason should only miss 12 weeks with a fracture in his right foot, meaning he is not in danger of missing significant time this regular season. It’s a bullet dodged for Beason owners as he bounced back with the Giants last year.
- In one of the less sexy training camp battles, Andre Holmes appears to be the third receiver in Oakland over Denarius Moore. Moore has flashed potential in the past but never put it together. Holmes, while already 26, is fresh and could have some value.

Daily Dynasty Update – June 13th
Lions running back Joique Bell is still sitting out OTA’s after an off-season knee procedure. We’re still a long way from the season but keep monitoring it. Bell should be the starter in Detroit with Reggie Bush coming in for passing downs.- Giants linebacker Jon Beason was carted off with an injury yesterday. Except for two injury-plagued seasons, Beason has had at least 100 tackles each year. It would be a big blow for the Giants and Beason dynasty owners.
- Keep an eye on Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins in your dynasty leagues after putting in a solid performance in OTA’s. He probably wasn’t a keeper and could be available. His value, ironically, would be higher if Josh Gordon were going to be around to take away attention. As it is, Hawkins should still perform.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 12th
Get ready for the Christine Michael bandwagon to get crowded with Marshawn Lynch expected to skip a mandatory training camp. The Seahawks were expected to siphon off carries from Lynch anyway but this might expedite that thinking.- Expect the Terrance West bandwagon to get that way too with West getting first-team reps in Browns camp. Recently signed Ben Tate is not likely to hold up a full 16 games so his immediate back up will be a hot commodity. West reminds some of Alfred Morris where he’s great at running and cut backs but not much else.
- Bad news for Sean Weatherspoon as he ruptured his Achilles and will miss the entire season. It’s a big blow for Weatherspoon dynasty owners as he was expected to fully recovery from injury issues he sustained last year.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 10th
Dolphins running back Lamar Miller may make it a comeback as he continues to hold off Knowshon Moreno for primary back duties. There’s no telling what the split will be yet but Miller appears to be the running back to own in Miami.- No matter what Seattle coaches are saying, expect Marshawn Lynch to get a few less carries this year with Christine Michael picking up the slack.
- Should the Titans Derrick Morgan stay in Tennessee, he’s expected to line up as a 3-4 outside linebacker instead of defensive end. The switch hurts what little IDP value he could have salvaged.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 9th
Look for the Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger to use more no-huddle this season, resulting in more plays for the offense. With more plays per game, look for an all-around bump in Steelers offensive players.- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton is practicing all four receiver spots this off-season which should utilize his value. He probably won’t line up on the outside where Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks are expected to be but his long-term value is high, as possibly, the best receiver left in 2015.
- Look for Dennis Pitta’s dynasty stock to shoot back up thanks to new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak. While calling plays in Houston, Kubiak utilized the tight end position more than most. With only Torrey Smith ahead of him for targets, look for Pitta to get his share.
- Dynasty owners of Ace Sanders can probably move along now.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 6th
Expect Mike Wallace to move around the line of scrimmage this season, including lining up in the slot. With a new, more aggressive offensive coordinator in town in Bill Lazor, and a year with Ryan Tannehill under his belt, the only place for Wallace to go is up.- Rookie Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon got some work in with the first team offense when Adrian Peterson took plays off. He showed impressive receiving ability and could get work this year on passing downs. He’ll be in the conversation for third-tier rookie running backs.
- Expect Cowboys tight end Jason Witten to keep playing every down this season. And with new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, that should keep Witten among the top five in dynasty tight ends. It also will keep Gavin Escobar’s value limited.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 5th
- In the ongoing Justin Blackmon saga, it appears he could be back with the Jaguars as soon as this year. However, only keep Blackmon if you have a deep bench and/or taxi squads.
- The talk is growing around Charles Sims in Tampa. Now there’s talk he could get some early work as well to spell Doug Martin. Sims is clearly in the second-tier or rookie running backs.
- Take this with a grain of salt but there’s also talk of Christine Michael getting work earlier than expected in 2014. His value may be a tad lower than it was entering last year but it won’t be for long.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 4th
Arian Foster is expected to handle all passing down duties in Houston, much like he did before. It’s an endorsement of Foster from new coach Bill O’ Brien and makes Foster an interesting buy-low candidate.- Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is sitting out OTA’s with an injury. With this much time before the season starts, it shouldn’t be a concern but definitely something to monitor. However, with Hue Jackson now implementing a more rush-oriented offense and with Jermaine Gresham still around, Eifert’s dynasty value is not what it was a year ago.
- Expect Tampa Bay to use multiple running backs even with Doug Martin returning from injury. It doesn’t mean he’s not a RB1 in dynasty leagues but definitely won’t challenge Jamaal Charles and LeSean McCoy for the top spot.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 3rd
- Dolphins running back Lamar Miller has been running with the first team while newly signed Knowshon Moreno, apparently, is catching up his conditioning. Neither is a viable option in dynasty.
- Eagles rookie receiver Jordan Matthews is impressing in Eagles camp. He’s a probable top five receiver in rookie dynasty drafts.
- In the wake of Daryl Washington’s suspension, linebacker Kevin Minter is the one making the calls for the Arizona defense. There was a lot of hype surrounding Minter last year but it never materialized. He’ll have ample opportunity this year.
Daily Dynasty Update – June 2nd
Recent estimates have Peyton Manning playing three more years, which is music to dynasty owners ears. Until he shows otherwise, Manning should be treated as a top quarterback in dynasty leagues.- In the wake of Daryl Washington’s impending suspension, it looks like Larry Foote will take over his role in the Cardinals defense. Foote may be a decent buy for 2014 but not beyond.
- LaGarrette Blount figures to get 6-8 carries a game in Pittsburgh. This will have little-to-no effect on Le’Veon Bell’s status.
- Marqise Lee looks to have a better shot at starting early, practicing in the ‘Z’ position. It was Justin Blackmon’s old spot and has produced nicely when there’s talent manning the position. Lee looks to have a ceiling of a late first-rounder in rookie dynasty drafts.
