Dynasty Recap – Week 1 – Cowboys 27, Giants 26

Posted on by 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.

Complete updated dynasty quarterback rankings can be found here.

  • rodgersTop five remains unchanged: Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton and Drew Brees. 
  • Big risers this month include a couple of veterans in Tony Romo, up to 10th from 13th and Ben Roethlisberger to 11th from 14th; there’s also a couple of quarterbacks not on the previous lists in newly traded Sam Bradford to 27th and Zach Mettenberger to 29th. His rank will wholly depend on what the Titans do in the NFL draft.
  • The big drops are both Cleveland quarterbacks: Johnny Manziel to 24th from 20th; and newly signed Josh McCown to 33rd from 30th.

Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Cowboys escape Texans, 20-17

  • Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo  had another good outing with 324 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Romo’s long-term health is in doubt but he is a low-end QB1 as long as he’s around.
  • Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray continues his torrid pace with 136 yards rushing to go with six catches for 56 yards. He’s been a top RB this year but a lot of uncertainty surrounds him including injury questions. Might not be a bad idea to sell high – really high.
  • On the other side of the field, Texans running back Arian Foster had a throwback game with
  • As long as Romo keeps producing, so will Dez Bryant. He led the team with nine catches on 14 targets and 84 yards plus a touchdown.

Dynasty Impact – Dallas Cowboys select Zack Martin, OT

martinDynasty Impact: After passing on Johnny Manziel, the Cowboys go safe with tackle Zack Martin. Martin has the size and form to be a highly successful offensive lineman at the next level and could play anywhere. With Tyron Smith manning the left tackle position, Martin can conceivably play right tackle or left guard or anywhere really. This helps Tony Romo a ton along with DeMarco Murray.

  • The Raiders signed wide receiver James Jones to a three-year deal. He’ll immediately be at the top of the depth chart in Oakland but should still see a decrease in fantasy value. Unless the Raiders draft a quarterback in the first round, Jones doesn’t have a good chance to have dynasty value in 2014.
  • Quarterback Brandon Weeden signed with the Cowboys where he’ll back up Tony Romo. Even though he’s cemented his status as a backup, Weeden’s dynasty value might have actually increased. Tony Romo is coming off back surgery and the Dallas offense is never one to be shy.
  • The Packers are expected to re-sign running back James Starks to back up incumbent Eddie Lacy. Starks had a 5.5 YPC last year and should be considered one of the better compliment backs in dynasty leagues.

  • Texans receiver Andre Johnson feels fine after a wrist injury and plans on playing a few more years. Normally, I would be against acquiring a 33-year old that’s not a quarterback but Johnson has shown, time and again, he can keep up as the years go on. While no longer a WR1, he’d be a fine WR2 for your dynasty team.
  • The Raiders could trade Terrelle Pryor before the 2014 season. While it doesn’t make a ton of sense, getting out of Oakland would greatly increase Pryor’s value. It’s clear he won’t get playing time in Oakland and could use a fresh start.
  • Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo should be good to go for OTA’s after back surgery. Romo is still an elite talent and is on the low-end of a Tier 1 quarterback list.
  • Retired tight end Tony Gonzalez recently took a job with CBS, effectively ending his career. I still wouldn’t be surprised if he latched on with a team later in the season but this most likely means Gonzalez is done.
  • Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is healed from an in-season concussion after a long recovery. While Reed is an elite talent and could eventually join the top five of dynasty tight ends, the concussion, and long recovery time, is a major concern. I would be hesitant to pull the trigger on a major deal with Reed in your dynasty league.

Dynasty Recap – Week 9 – Cowboys squeak by Vikings, 27-23

  • Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had another Romo-esque day with 337 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. It’s hard to argue about too many better options at quarterback in dynasty leagues.
  • Cowboys receiver Cole Beasley had nine targets for six catches and 68 yards. Keep an eye on Beasley in dynasty leagues as Miles Austin could be expendable after the season.
  • Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson only had four tackles but that’s only because Dallas threw the ball 51 times. Henderson should continue to be a tackle-machine for the foreseeable future.

Dynasty Recap – Week 5 – Broncos escape Cowboys, 51-48

  • You really can’t go wrong with either Peyton Manning or Tony Romo as your dynasty quarterback. That is all.
  • Denver running back Knowshon Moreno continued as the starter with 19 carries for 93 yards to go along with five catches. With Denver’s success, you have to wonder if they won’t want to keep Moreno beyond this year and inhibit Ronnie Hillman‘s and Montee Ball’s production. 
  • Denver tight end Julius Thomas was Manning’s favorite target with 12. As long as Peyton’s there, Thomas is a TE1 in dynasty leagues.
  • Cowboys rookie receiver Terrance Williams had a career best day with four catches for 151 yards. With more days like that, Dallas might be inclined to let Miles Austin go at some point.
  • Dallas safety Barry Church had 11 more tackles and is on pace for over 100 for year. At just 25, Church could be locked in to the free safety role for a while.
