- Bucs quarterback Mike Glennon had a good day in his first start with 302 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Glennon could still be the quarterback of the future in Tampa so he’s worth a stash.
- Meanwhile, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a big day 314 yards and three touchdowns with a lost fumble. Big Ben continues to put up low-end QB1 numbers this year and is worth a look in dynasty leagues if you’re in need of a QB.
- The primary beneficiary was Steelers receiver Antonio Brown with seven catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Brown is a legit WR1 in all dynasty formats.
- Another good day was had by tight end Heath Miller who had his best game of the season with 10 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. Miller is no better than a TE2 in dynasty formats.

Daily Dynasty Update – May 22nd
There may be no bigger enigma in dynasty leagues this off-season than Arian Foster. When healthy, he’s a top-notch running back. The problem is keeping him on the field. If he can, his role in new coach Bill O’ Brien’s offense should will result in a lot of fantasy points.- Thanks to new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi’s time in New Orleans, the Lions are expected to look a lot like the Saints. In his time there, the Saints’ offense finished no worse than sixth. Grab any Lion you can before the 2014 dynasty season begins.
- The Bucs have done an about-face on Mike Glennon’s outlook with the team. He’s now expected to compete for the starting job and could possibly be the quarterback of the future. With the new-look offense in Tampa, he’s worth a stash and could be a decent buy-low candidate. He currently ranks 31st on DFFC’s dynasty quarterback rankings.
- Giants tight end Adrian Robinson is in a make-or-break season as he’s been left alone at the top of the depth chart. If new offensive coordinator, Ben McAdoo’s previous team is any indication, the tight end position will be pretty important. Robinson is the epitome of a buy-low candidate.
Updated Dynasty Quarterback Rankings – May 2014

No changes in the top five. It goes Rodgers, Luck, Newton, Stafford, Brees. - Rookies entering the rankings for the first time include Teddy Bridgewater at 14; Blake Bortles at 15; Johnny Manziel at 19; and Derek Carr at 25. So none are quite QB1’s yet but could be serviceable QB2’s. For now.
- The inevitable fallout includes Eli Manning from 22nd to 27th; Alex Smith from 24th to 29th; Mike Glennon from 25th to 31st; Mike Vick from 30th to 36th; and Brian Hoyer from 32nd to 37th. A lot of it is age except for Glennon who suddenly had competition in Josh McCown.
Daily Dynasty Update – May 9th
While new Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel isn’t expected to start over Brian Hoyer, it won’t be long. Hoyer dynasty owners had their pipe dreams dashed last night when the Browns traded up to snag Manziel.- Mike Glennon appears safe in Tampa, for now. The Bucs drafted receiver Mike Evans over a quarterback and Lovie Smith, apparently, loves him now.
- Even before the Bills drafted Sammy Watkins, it was apparent Stevie Johnson was on the block. That appears even more likely now.
Daily Dynasty Update – May 7th
Texans running back Arian Foster was a full participant in mini-camp. Foster could be a decent buy-low candidate for those scared off by his injury history. There are still red flags but Foster as a high-end RB2 would be ideal.- The Bucs are not hiding the fact that they’d like to trade quarterback Mike Glennon. Of course, the signing of Josh McCown was the first indicator and this week’s draft could be the nail in the coffin for Glennon’s time in Tampa. Look for quarterback-needy teams like Minnesota or Cleveland to at least ask.
- Christian Ponder dynasty owners can probably cut the cord as Minnesota is going with Matt Cassel as their starting quarterback and could even use a high pick this week on another.
- Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo isn’t 100% yet after tearing his pectoral muscle. Mayo is a legit LB1 when healthy but you may want to hold off looking into him until he’s healthy.
- Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor is recovering from hip surgery and could miss most of the pre-season. Chancellor took a back seat to Earl Thomas in the Seattle secondary last season but is still a DB2 when healthy.
Daily Dynasty Update – May 2nd
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he’s at 80%. There’s a long way to go until the season starts and no one should doubt AP’s ability to recover from his groin injury but he’s also 29 and will have to break down at some point. Be cautious.- Eli Manning should be back to 100% before the season starts but is entering a make-or-break year in fantasy and real life. The Giants added running back Rashad Jennings and will probably add more targets during the draft.
- With recent indications that the Bucs will draft a quarterback early, its assumed that Mike Glennon is not long for Tampa. Although as someone pointed out, it’s not like Glennon had a bad rookie year.

- Top five remains the same but slightly different order. Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, and Cam Newton make up the top three. Drew Brees does drop a bit to five because of age and losing a few reliable weapons.
- The only other noticeable drop was Tampa quarterback Mike Glennon thanks to the Josh McCown signing. It really doesn’t say a lot when you bring in a better quarterback for the second season of a young quarterback.
Daily Dynasty Update – February 24th
- Cardinals coach Bruce Arians confirmed that Andre Ellington will have an expanded role this year which is music to Ellington dynasty owners. Arizona went against conventional wisdom and held Ellington back last year but it looks like its full steam ahead for 2014.
- Colts receiver Reggie Wayne should be ready to go for Colts camp. While not a long-term dynasty prospect, you could do worse with Wayne as your WR3.
- The Packers are expected to let James Jones walk in free agency this year. Unless Jones ends up in a pass happy offense like Denver or New England, his dynasty stock will plummet.
- The Jets may explore Ben Tate or Donald Brown in free agency. If either signs with New York, it’ll seriously hamper their dynasty value as at least Tate was expected to sign on as a starter somewhere. Tate dynasty owners assuming big things in 2014 may have to reel in their expectations.
- Expect Tampa to go after a quarterback whether it’s free agency or the draft. Obviously, this continues the downward trend of Mike Glennon’s stock as he’s had no votes of confidence from the new regime.
Daily Dynasty Update – February 21st
- Bears linebacker Jon Bostic will play primarily in the middle next year which is just the next step in, hopefully, a productive career.
- The Cardinals are expected to use multiple backs even though Andre Ellington is, clearly, the superior talent. Either way, Ellington is a must-own in dynasty leagues whether he’s a starter or compliment.
- It’s becoming more obvious that Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will not be back in Pittsburgh which is great news for Markus Wheaton dynasty owners. As for Sanders, he’s an average producer.
- The Bucs might be drafting a quarterback at #7 in the upcoming draft. Obviously, this drops Mike Glennon’s stock a bit but could be a decent buy-low candidate. It’s hard to determine if a top-tier quarterback will even be available.
- 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman is looking at coming back halfway through next season after recovering from a catastrophic knee injury in the NFC Championship game. Bowman was, arguably, the top linebacker in dynasty before the injury and, hopefully, can rebound.
Dynasty Recap – Week 12 – Bucs surprise Lions, 24-21
- Bucs rookie quarterback Mike Glennon continues his impressive run, going 14 of 21 for 247 yards, an 11.8 YPA and two touchdowns with zero turnovers.
- A week after (allegedly) being benched for losing a fumble, Lions running back Reggie Bush was back to normal with 85 yards rushing and four catches for 17 yards.
- Lions receiver Nate Burleson picked up where he left off, catching seven passes for 77 yards. Burleson’s getting up there in age and has a pricey cap number next year but is a solid WR4 with WR3 upside when healthy and playing in Detroit.
- Lions rookie lineman Ezekiel Ansah had two sacks in his first action in a month. He’s a good one.
- Bucs linebacker Lavonte David led his team in tackles with 12 along with an interception and pass defended. He’s a bona fide LB1.
