Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Bills 27, Colts 14

Posted on by Standard 1

Bills

  • Quarterback Tyrod Taylor had an interesting day with 195 yards and a touchdown through the air plus 41 yards rushing. His ceiling is as the next Cam Newton / Colin Kaepernick-type and as a possible high-end QB2.
  • Bills rookie running back Karlos Williams led the team with 55 yards on just six carries plus a touchdown. He outperformed new back LeSean McCoy who had only 41 yards on 17 carries. It’s entirely possible Williams is sharing primary back duties with McCoy sooner rather than later. Williams is a good one to try to get before his value soars.

Colts

  • Bad day all the way around for the Colts. Starting at the top, Andrew Luck struggled mightily, going 26 of 49 for 243 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He’ll get better throughout the season but it’s worth wondering if there’s any chance he’s only the second best dynasty quarterback.
  • Because of Luck’s poor day, there’s not much to report on the receiving front. T.Y. Hilton finished with seven catches for 88 yards. The young guys did fair with Donte Moncrief finishing with six catches for 46 yards and Philip Dorsett finishing with two catches for 45 yards. Hilton was injured which will open the door for Dorsett and Moncrief. Both are only WR4-5’s at the moment but could easily gain ground.

2015 NFL Draft – 29th Overall Pick – Colts Draft Phillip Dorsett

Posted on by Standard 1

With the 29th overall pick, the Colts drafted receiver Phillip Dorsett.

Dorsett joins a crowded receiving corps in Indianapolis while projecting similarly to one of them. His speed and size remind people of T.Y. Hilton along with his big play ability, averaging over 25 yards per catch over the last three years.

It’ll be interesting to see who starts for Indy alongside Hilton as they have second-year receiver Donte Moncrief, who came on strong towards the end of last year, along with veteran Andre Johnson. Dorsett could be a good value in rookie drafts, not being drafted as highly as the other first round receivers but still being part of a highly productive offense and the only one left in a few years.
