Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Cowboys 27, Giants 26

Posted on September 14, 2015 by dodgermoore Standard 1

Cowboys

Tony Romo was his usual gunslinger self with 356 yards and three touchdowns (plus two interceptions). He’s, at worst, a low-end QB1 in dynasty leagues but has room to grow now that Dallas has little depth at running back.
Speaking of, Joseph Randle had a decent day on the ground with 65 rushing yards plus three catches for 42 yards. This may be a best-case scenario for Randle throughout the season which makes him a RB2 in dynasty, at best.
The main beneficiary of Dez Bryant’s absence had to be tight end Jason Witten with eight catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Witten’s stats have gone down the last three seasons but he could be due for a resurgence without DeMarco Murray carrying the load. He’s a low-end TE1.

Giants

An all-around bad night for the Giants started with Eli Manning. Going only 20 of 36 for 193 yards isn’t good for anyone. It’s only one game but Eli is still a QB2.
With Eli turning in a clunker, Odell Beckham did too with just five catches for 44 yards. Beckham is rated as a WR1 in dynasty leagues but it might not be a bad idea to see him have another great year before anointing him as such.
Very little going on in the run game as well with lead back Rashad Jennings going for 52 yards on 13 carries. Andre Williams got six carries so Jennings is, by no means, a bell cow. His ceiling will be a RB3.

Encouraging news with Andre Ellington toughing out 91 yards on 15 carries. Ellington continues to prove he can handle the rock and should be considered a high-end RB2 in dynasty formats.
Also a good day on the other side with Rashad Jennings with 64 yards rushing and four catches for 45 yards. He’ll also be a RB2 in dynasty formats for the foreseeable future.
Out of nowhere, new Giants tight end Larry Donnell had seven catches for 81 yards and was second on the team in targets. At just 25-years old, Donnell could be a borderline TE2 in dynasty leagues.
On the IDP side, Cardinals end Calais Campbell had a big day for an end with 10 tackles and a sack. Campbell is a legit DL1 in all formats.

Daily Dynasty Update – July 1st

Confirming what we already knew, Giants running back Rashad Jennings will operate as the worse horse in a revamped New York offense. David Wilson is still not back and Peyton Hillis isn’t scaring anyone.
It looks like Titans quarterback Jake Locker will be molded after other Ken Whisenhunt projects like Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner and be asked to stay in the pocket. Locker has wheels but not the arm so it’s an interesting route to go.
After missing out on the entire 2013 season, Giants safety Stevie Brown says he is healed and ready to go. Brown had a productive 2012 before tearing his ACL and could be a reliable DB2 in dynasty leagues, only turning 27 this year.
Titans tight end Delanie Walker expects a big season this year. He finished in the top 12 of tight ends last year and is being extremely undervalued.

As if he needed more hype, Packers running back Eddie Lacy looks better than ever in Green Bay. Lacy had over 300 touches last year and should easily match that again. He’s a top five dynasty running back.
On the heels of a glowing report, it looks like Jets rookie tight end Jace Amaro still has ways to go. He struggled in minicamp while adjusting to an NFL playbook. He’s still high on dynasty boards but his 2014 production expectations should be reigned in.
No surprise that the Giants brought in Rashad Jennings to be a ‘bellcow’ according to general manager Jerry Reese. Jennings could flirt with RB1 status this season but anything beyond should be considered a bonus.

Texans receiver Andre Johnson was open about a possible trade demand. Johnson is, seemingly, quarterback-proof as he still churned out 1,400 yards with an ineffective Matt Schaub and rookie Case Keenum. Whether in Houston or somewhere else, Johnson is still a solid dynasty receiver.
Speaking of, after lots of talk, the Texans will not be trading for Ryan Mallett. Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like he’ll be under center in week one.
Eli Manning is still recovering from ankle surgery but should be good to go. He has a new weapon in Odell Beckham along with Rashad Jennings. The tools are there for Manning to be successful and could be a decent buy-low candidate.

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.

The Raiders finally sent quarterback Terrelle Pryor out-of-town, trading him to Seattle for a seventh round pick. Expect Pryor to play all over the place but not to be a solid dynasty contributor.
Giants running back David Wilson expects to be cleared by OTA’s next month. It’s a great sign for Wilson but carries a huge risk for himself and dynasty owners. With the signing of Rashad Jennings in New York, it’s no guaranteed Wilson sees meaningful playing time even if he comes back.
Bears linebacker Shea McClellin is taking the switch to the position seriously after intense training for it this off-season. He’s a sleeper LB in IDP dynasty leagues in 2014.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is progressing well from surgery last season. Kelce was high on dynasty mock drafts last year after being drafted in the third round. He was slated to be the third option in the Chiefs offense before going down with the injury. With no apparent upgrades on offense, expect Kelce to reclaim that role.

Updated Dynasty Running Back Rankings – April 2014

Click here for the complete updated dynasty running back rankings.

No changes in the top five: LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Eddie Lacy, Adrian Peterson, and Doug Martin.
Biggest riser this month is Montee Ball of Denver, going from 21st to 16th. With the signing of Knowshon Moreno off to Miami, Ball is, without a doubt, the starter in the high-powered Denver offense.
Other risers include new Giants starting running back Rashad Jennings going from 49th to 43rd. After finishing strong in Oakland, Jennings will be asked to take over the starting job in New York after the departure of Andre Brown and David Wilson‘s health still up in the air.
Another riser is new starter Toby Gerhart in Jacksonville. Gerhart wasn’t even ranked in dynasty circles until he signed with the Jaguars and is now 46th. Still just 27 without a lot of wear on those tires, Gerhart could be a decent running back option on a young, improving team.
The other significant riser is the Saints Khiry Robinson. With the Saints looking to run the ball more, Robinson is the youngest in the new New Orleans running attack.
Drops include the previously mentioned Andre Brown from 43rd to 48th. Brown’s ranking was contingent on his status as a starter. He ended up in Houston where he’ll back up perpetually injured Arian Foster so he’ll be an interesting handcuff in 2014 but shouldn’t be relied on.
Jets running back Bilal Powell also drops, this time from 54th to 59th. Powell drops to 3rd on the Jets depth chart after the signing of Chris Johnson.

The Packers are preparing to break out receiver Jarrett Boykin as a replacement to James Jones. He’ll be a hot dynasty commodity heading in to 2014.
In a small upset, defensive end Jared Allen signed with the Bears. He’s nowhere near the top IDP lineman, as he was a few years ago, but should still be a probably double-digit sack candidate. The Bears also signed Lamarr Houston to draw most of the attention on the line which should free Allen up.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher expects running back Zac Stacy to get 70% of the carries in St. Louis. That’s welcome news to Stacy dynasty owners and should make Stacy a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 option for a few years.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin still has to solve his tight end question, leaving Adrien Robinson’s dynasty potential flapping in the wind. Look for New York to draft a tight end at some point.
Coughlin also added he sees new running back Rashad Jennings as an every-down back. Jennings’ stock will never be higher and might be an asset to trade in dynasty leagues for win-now teams.
In other workhorse back news, new Bucs coach Lovie Smith confirmed Doug Martin is his man. Martin will be in-line for RB1 running back duties in dynasty leagues this year.

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.
