Dynasty Recap – Week 15 – Packers escape Cowboys, 37-36

Posted on by Standard Reply
  • Packers quarterback Matt Flynn led a wild comeback with 299 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. Flynn could do that the last two games of the season and people still won’t forget about his forays into being a starter. However, Flynn could play his way into his old backup position. If you’re a Rodgers dynasty owner, you’d be wise to pick him up.
  • Packers running back Eddie Lacy ran all over the Cowboys, running 21 times for 141 yards and the winning score. He also added four catches for 30 yards. Lacy has had up and down games but should make a nice complement to Aaron Rodgers when he returns. 
  • On the other side of the field, Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray ran for 134 yards on 18 carries for a 7+ YPC and a rushing touchdown. He also added four catches for 19 yards. Murray has been hot lately and has proven to be a viable RB2 when healthy.
  • Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant did Dez Bryant things. He caught 11 catches for 153 yards and a  touchdown. If anyone is going to challenge Calvin Johnson for top dynasty receiver, it’s Dez.

Daily Dynasty Update – August 26th

We’re getting closer and closer to the beginning of the season. Let’s see what’s happening down the final stretch.

  • It appears Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball are doing everything they can to NOT start at running back for Denver this year. Neither can pass protect and have had trouble holding on to the ball. Their stock should drop in dynasty drafts this week but Ball still makes a ton of sense long-term.
  • Rob Gronkowski is expected to play most, not all, of this season. However, at just 24, he’s still a top two tight end dynasty pick. The only hesitation would be his injury history, which is getting more  frequent. It’d be ideal to draft Gronk’s current backup, rookie Zach Sudfeld for insurance.
  • Rookie Mike James is officially the #3 running back in Tampa. He’s got some talent but is only worth a taxi squad spot at this point, especially if you have Doug Martin.
  • Oakland appears to be moving on from Matt Flynn and giving Terrelle Pryor a shot at quarterback. Pryor has flashes but, ultimately, won’t be the long-term answer. We fully expect Oakland to be in the mix for the top pick in the NFL draft in 2014 and could take one then.

That’s all for now. One more pre-season game to go.
