- Colts quarterback Andrew Luck went 26 of 37 for 282 yards and a touchdown and no interceptions to cap off a nice stretch at the end of the season. He’ll be a top five dynasty quarterback heading in to 2014 but could still be a buy-low candidate.
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton went off for 11 catches for 155 yards, showcasing what fantasy owners hoped for every game. Hilton’s situation will be one to monitor in Indianapolis in the off-season along with the return of Reggie Wayne.
- Colts linebacker Robert Mathis had two more sacks to give him the NFL lead with 19.5. While Mathis will be 33 before the 2014 season, he’s signed relatively cheaply and should be back to be a LB2/3 in dynasty circles.

Dynasty Recap – Week 15 – Colts destroy Texans, 25-3
- Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had another uneven day, going 19 of 32 for only 180 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. While Luck has cut down on the turnovers, he’s not exactly lighting the world on fire. If anything, it might be time to buy-low.
- Texans running back Ben Tate had a decent day gaining 72 yards on 16 carries for a 4.5 YPC. He added three catches for 20 yards. Houston fell behind early which eliminated the running game. Tate should sign somewhere else next year where he’ll finally have the opportunity to carry the load.
- With Colts incumbent running back Donald Brown got injured, Trent Richardson was forced back in. He had 64 carries on 19 carries for a very Trent Richardson-esque 3.4 YPC. He did add 38 yards on four catches but Richardson is what he is.
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton busted out (a little) with eight catches for 78 yards on 12 targets. The talk before the game was of Da’Rick Rogers but all Rogers did was open up the secondary for Hilton. Hilton is the long-term solution.
Dynasty Recap – Week 10 – Rams scorch Colts, 38-8
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton had another great day with seven catches on eight targets for 130 yards. Even as the primary receiving option, Hilton can’t be stopped.
- Colts tight end Colby Fleener had 10 targets but only hauled in four catches for 33 yards. With Reggie Wayne out for the season, this is Fleener’s time to make himself indispensable before Dwayne Allen’s return next year.
- Rams rookie receiver Tavon Austin had two catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns to go along with a punt return for a touchdown. I’d like to think of this as the beginning of a great fantasy career but Austin only had the two catches. Personally, I need more consistency before making a serious commitment.
- The Rams defensive linemen duo of Robert Quinn and Chris Long had a combined eight tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Either one will make a fine DL1 on dynasty teams.
Dynasty Recap – Week 9 – Colts come back against Texans, 27-24
- Houston quarterback Case Keenum threw for 350 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions on 20 of 34 passes. While the Indianapolis doesn’t have a great defense, it’s an impressive line against any team. Keenum could be a good young quarterback to pick up for your dynasty team if you can’t snag a quarterback in the draft.
- Colts running back Trent RIchardson only had eight carries with Indianapolis behind most of the game. However, he only had 2.5 YPC, continuing a bad trend of not getting over 4.0. It might be time to sell high on Richardson.
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton led the team with 12 targets, nine catches, 121 yards and three touchdowns. While the Texans season has gone down the tubes, the defense has still produced with a top defense in the league. Hilton is legit.
Daily Dynasty Update – November 2nd
- Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the rest of the season. A disappointing turn of events for Blackmon but not suprising. It’s a shame as Blackmon has proved he can be one of the best in the NFL. He’s too risky for me in dynasty leagues to keep on the roster.
- With the injury to Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton’s stock is soaring. Hilton will be taking Wayne’s position in the slot and should be the Colts WR1 for the rest of the year. Consider this his audition for dynasty leaguers to determine how good he can be.
- Bucs running back Doug Martin will eventually have surgery for his torn labrum. Martin is in the midst of a disappointing sophomore season but might be a good buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty Recap – Week 6 – Chargers down Colts, 19-9
- Chargers rookie receiver Keenan Allen continues to impress with nine catches for 107 yards. By far, he was the most targeted by Philip Rivers with 12. It looks like Allen will be a star.
- Colts running back Trent Richardson finally managed 4.0 YPC for the first time this season but only managed 40 yards on 10 carries. However, you have to be disappointed that he didn’t get at least more YPC against this Chargers defense.
- In encouraging news, Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton was targeted as much as Reggie Wayne with eight.
- Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers continues to play well with the injection of talent around him including Danny Woodhead and Keenan Allen. He had a 67% completion percentage with over 7.0 YPC and no interceptions. There’s no reason to believe Rivers won’t continue to play decent enough to be a QB2 for a few more years.
Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Colts take down Seahawks, 34-28
- Through 20 games of his short career, running back Trent Richardson has a 3.5 YPC. It’s reasonable to think this may be it for Richardson and to possibly even sell high. Until he can prove he can take over games, he’s average.
- The merry-go-round continues in the Seattle receiving game as Golden Tate led the way this week with 11 targets followed by Doug Baldwin with nine. It will be interesting to see if Percy Harvin can step in and immediately take the targets away.
- Meanwhile, Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton had a breakout game with 140 yards and two touchdowns. He made the most of his six targets, grabbing five of them. He may finally be on the hook going forward and should be looked at in dynasty circles.
- Seahawks safety Earl Thomas continues his All-Pro season with 10 more tackles. For the season, he has 32 tackles, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, and three passes defended. At just 24, and in that defense, Thomas is a guy to get.
- On the other side of the field, Colts linebacker Jerrell Freeman added 13 tackles to bring his total for the season to 43. The tackle machine had 145 last year in his rookie year and should continue that production. However, Freeman started late and is already 27 after spending a few years in the CFL so grab him now if you’re going to get any production from him in dynasty leagues.
Dynasty Recap – Week 4 – Colts destroy Jaguars, 37-3
- BREAKING NEWS – Blaine Gabbert is still not good.
- FOLLOW UP – Trent Richardson may not be either after averaging 3.0 YPC. Maybe Jim Brown was right?
- Luckily, Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton had more targets (9-6) and catches (5-3) than Darrius Heyward-Bey. It appears the Colts finally realized the error of their ways.
- Colts tight end Coby Fleener had five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. He continues to take full advantage of the injury to Dwayne Allen.
- Colts linebacker Robert Mathis had three more sacks. Depending on your situation, Mathis is a valuable commodity that could either help you to a championship this year or one you could trade for an asset. His 7.5 sacks through four games is impressive in any league.
- One bright spot for Jacksonville continues to be Paul Posluszny. He had nine more tackles and a pass defended. At just 28, Poz is a LB1 in any league and should be for 3-4 more years.
Dynasty Recap – Week 3 – Colts dominate 49ers, 27-7
- It wasn’t pretty for 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. He finished with 150 yards and one interception. If there were ever a time to buy low, it’d be now.
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton saw as many targets as Darrius Heyward-Bey (4-5). He still hasn’t been consistent but is the clear long-term answer for Indianapolis. See what’s out there to potentially buy low.
- Colts linebacker Jerrell Freeman filled up the stat sheet with eight tackles, a sack, a tackle for a loss and a forced fumble. Freeman is quietly one of the more underrated big play linebackers in dynasty circles.
Daily Dynasty Update – August 13th
At least it’s not Monday?
- The injury bug hit Jamaal Charles on Monday. He went down with a foot sprain but looks fine. The fantasy world probably won’t be comfortable until he sees game action.
- Receiver DeSean Jackson looks like his old self in Philly camp. Currently ranked 44th in dynasty ranks, Jackson may be a tad undervalued at this point. The hope is to be a regular WR3 with a WR2 as his ceiling.
- Second year receiver T.Y. Hilton says the game is slowing down for him. After a good pre-season opener, Hilton is in prime position to succeed this year and in the future with Andrew Luck at quarterback and Reggie Wayne close to retirement. Grab Hilton if he’s available.
- Second year tight end Ladarius Green is looking good in San Diego. With Antonio Gates at 33, Green is in a prime position to take over the starting role but will need to have a good season.
- Rookie tight end Gavin Escobar has been quiet so far in Dallas. So far, he grades out as the worst blocking tight end this pre-season, according to Pro Football Focus. Not exactly a recipe for success. Escobar is no more than a taxi squad candidate at this point. He’d be even more valuable if Jason Witten is on your roster.
- Third year receiver Jon Baldwin dropped a couple of passes during practice Sunday and has yet to stand out in Kansas City’s camp. It’s not inconceivable to imagine this might be Baldwin’s last chance to validate his first round status. Andy Reid does like to throw it around so Baldwin will have his chance.
