Daily Dynasty Update – July 9th

New Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak is expected to use tight end Dennis Pitta all over the place. It’s great news for Pitta dynasty owners who should see him return to 2012 form if he stays healthy.
Apparently, Vikings rookie Teddy Bridgewater is a lot further along than new offensive coordinator Norv Turner thought he would be. We fully expect Bridgewater to start games by the end of the year if not sooner and like his dynasty value.
Speaking of the Vikings, tight end Kyle Rudolph is looking at past Norv Turner tight ends for pointers. Rudolph is a good sleeper in dynasty leagues and should be targeted.

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.

The Cordarrelle Patterson train is just starting to pick up steam in Minnesota as local analysts are starting to peg Patterson to have a ‘monster’ season. It’s understandable as Patterson will be only behind Greg Jennings on the depth chart and has the luxury of Norv Turner as his offensive coordinator. His stock should only increase as we get closer to the season.
Speaking of wide receiver dynasty stock, reports are indicating Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins could be the best receiver prospect since Julio Jones. In a crowded rookie field, Watkins should go high in the NFL and dynasty rookie drafts.
New Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said he wants to use a two running back system and get Bernard Pierce back on track. Pierce is an excellent buy-low candidate as he rehabs from rotator cuff surgery.
Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware hopes to miss less practice time in 2014. It’s a good thing since Ware’s age and injuries issues are sapping him of his top-tier talent. Ware may not have much left in the tank for your IDP team.

New Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak expects tight end Dennis Pitta to be a big part of the offense in 2014. Any hope you had of getting Pitta on the cheap is now probably gone.
Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett had 8.5 sacks this season despite playing in a rotational basis and just 711 snaps. He’s playing on a one year deal and has earned the chance to test free agency again. Unless the market dries up like last year, an unlikely scenario now that Bennett has a good track record, chances are Bennett gets a bigger opportunity somewhere else. He’ll make an intriguing DL1/2 pick in 2014 dynasty leagues.
Eagles quarterback Matt Barkley heads into the off-season as the probable backup to Nick Foles. It’s some good news for folks that drafted Barkley with hopes in dynasty rookie drafts last year.
Saints running back Pierre Thomas is the most likely running back to be cut in New Orleans this off-season. It’s good and bad for Thomas since he could get the opportunity for more touches but also will miss being in one of the more explosive offenses in the league. Expect impressive second-year back Khiry Robinson to get more carries.
