Dynasty Recap – Week 7 – Giants 27, Cowboys 20

Posted on October 25, 2015 by dodgermoore Standard 1

Giants

Running back Orleans Darkwa burst on the scene with 48 yards and a touchdown and looked like the best back on the team. He’ll be a popular waiver wire pickup in dynasty formats.
Linebacker Jon Beason has gotten off to a slow start this season but picked up 11 tackles and should be back on track as a LB2 in dynasty formats.

Cowboys

For some reason, Darren McFadden ran for 152 yards and a touchdown. Don’t think this is a resurgence. It’s not.
Tight end Jason Witten had another day at the office with six catches for 73 yards. He continues to be a reliable, low-end TE1 in dynasty formats.

Former Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson is now in Washington. It’s a lose-lose move for him and Pierre Garcon but should greatly enhance Robert Griffin III’s dynasty value. It will also add to the dynasty fall of running back Alfred Morris.
Bucs running back Doug Martin appears to be good to go if his twitter account is to be believed. Martin should be back as a top dynasty running back in 2014.
The Raiders signed Maurice Jones-Drew to compete with Darren McFadden at running back. Neither are reliable options in dynasty leagues and will be heavily covered thanks to no quarterback worthy of drawing defenses attention.

Daily Dynasty Update – March 12th

The Giants are expected to make running back Rashad Jennings their starter after signing him on the first day of free agency. David Wilson’s dynasty stock remains in a stand still as Jennings will turn 29 in a few weeks. Andre Brown’s future may be in doubt.
On a related note, running back Darren McFadden re-signed with the Raiders where he’ll battle Latavius Murray for the starting job.
In a surprising move, the Chargers signed running back Donald Brown and, effectively, downgraded the entire San Diego backfield for fantasy/dynasty purposes. Brown played like a starter down the stretch in Indy and will now take snaps from both Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead.
Another head-scratcher was the Saints signing safety Jairus Byrd. Byrd was, arguably, the best safety available but to commit that much money ($28 million guaranteed) is odd. Either way, Byrd is a top safety in IDP leagues and inserting him in one of the league’s most aggressive defenses should be good times.
The Bengals re-signed receiver Andrew Hawkins after he received an offer from division rival Cleveland. Hawkins was hurt most of last year but did show some promise as a dynamic option in the slot. He’s worth a stash in deep, PPR dynasty leagues.
Saints running back Darren Sproles is not expected to be cut but, instead, should be traded soon. His value will entirely depend on where he ends up but his days as a RB2 are over.
The Colts re-signed running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who should be in the mix for backup duties now that Donald Brown is gone.

Updated Dynasty Running Back Rankings – February 2014

Click here for the complete updated dynasty RB rankings.

Top seven remains the same with LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Doug Martin, Eddie Lacy, Adrian Peterson, Giovani Bernard, and Matt Forte.
The big risers this month include Denver running back Montee Ball. With it becoming increasingly unlikely that Denver brings back incumbent Knowshon Moreno, it will be Ball’s job to lose. Another riser includes Oakland running back Latavius Murray. Currently at the top of the Oakland depth chart now that both Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings are free agents, Murray is 6′ 3″, 223 pounds, and ran a 4.38 40 in the combine last year. Murray could be special.
The big drops include the previously mentioned Moreno along with the previously mentioned McFadden. It also includes BenJarvus Green-Ellis of the Bengals. With Giovani Bernard expected to shoulder more of the load in 2014, BJGE’s role is going to diminish further.

Nothing new at the top. LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles will be your consensus 1-2 dynasty running backs heading in to 2014.
A slight drop for Alfred Morris from 11th to 13th, possibly due to concerns with new coach Jay Gruden’s offense. Morris is probably not an RB1 in dynasty leagues but is an ideal RB2.
Other drops include Darren McFadden from 23rd to 26th. There’s a lot of uncertainty with McFadden heading in 2014 – injuries, free agency, etc. There’s also BenJarvus Green-Ellis from Cincinnati who will take an even bigger back seat to Giovani Bernard.
The biggest riser (again) is Cardinals running back Andre Ellington from 31st to 23rd. Ellington could be a RB1 in dynasty leagues when (if) he takes the reins.

Buccaneers rookie tight end Tim Wright is going to be utilized even more this season, providing a golden opportunity to increase his value for dynasty leaguers. He played receiver in college and has the skills to be a force in the passing game.
Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew might be back in Jacksonville next year after all. It won’t matter as Jones-Drew will be 29 next year and is only averaging 3.2 YPC. He’s one to avoid in dynasty leagues.
Raiders running back Rashad Jennings will be forced to give up carries to Darren McFadden this week but should still outperform him. The real question for dynasty leaguers is who will be starting next year in Oakland? Both Jennings and McFadden will be free agents and aren’t getting any younger.
After another lost fumble Sunday, don’t expect Patriots running back Stevan Ridley to handle the work load like he did in 2012. The Patriots have no faith in his ability to hold on to the ball and will severely cut into his playing time. Ridley owners can only hope he rebounds in time for 2014.
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has been named the starter for the rest of the season. For all intents and purposes, he’ll be the started in 2014 as well.
Steelers linebacker Jason Worilds has played so well recently (three sacks in four games) that there’s talk of him taking over for Lamarr Woodley in 2014. He’d certainly be cheaper.

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.

Dynasty Recap – Week 3 – Denver beats Oakland, 37-21

Peyton Manning did Peyton Manning things, throwing for 374 yards and three touchdowns all while going 32/37 on pass attempts. He’s one of those where age doesn’t matter in fantasy, he may win you a championship by himself.
The three-headed monster also known as Denver’s running game had carries of 12 (Knowshon Moreno), 11 (Montee Ball), and 9 (Ronnie Hillman). Hillman won this round with 66 yards. Ball wasn’t far behind at 61 but did have a late fumble. Ball is still the better dynasty prospect as they used the higher draft pick but nothing is certain there.
Oakland defensive end Lamarr Houston continues to be a bright spot with a sack and forced fumble. Houston is an underrated end that has some big play potential as one of the only talents on the Oakland defense and would make a fine DL2 on your dynasty fantasy team.
On the other hand, Oakland running back Darren McFadden had nine yards on 12 carries. He’s off the dynasty map until further notice.
