Daily Dynasty Update – August 6th

Posted on August 6, 2014 by dodgermoore Standard Reply

No need to be alarmed (yet) but Jaguars running back Toby Gerhart will miss the first pre-season game. All indications are Gerhart will be a workhorse this year so he needs to avoid any injury.
Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is expected to play at some point in the off-season. Hoooooooo-kay.
Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is expected to be a top red zone target this year. Dynasty owners should be salivating.

Daily Dynasty Update – May 1st

The Eagles are expecting a big season out of tight end Zach Ertz and you should too. His dynasty stock is through the roof with DeSean Jackson out of the picture.
Colts running back Trent Richardson claims he knows the playbook a lot better now than last year. Richardson could still be a decent buy-low candidate, especially of the Colts commit more to the pass.
Tight end Dustin Keller left New England without a deal and, with it, dashed the dynasty hopes of Keller owners.

Updated Dynasty Tight End Rankings – March 2014, 2.0

Click here for complete dynasty tight end rankings, now with Rotoworld rankings included.

Top six remains the same with Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Julius Thomas, Jordan Cameron, Vernon Davis and Jordan Reed at the top.
Big risers this update include Vance McDonald of the 49ers. Vernon Davis is now 30 years old and McDonald is the current candidate to replace him; same goes for McDonald’s Rice teammate Luke Willson in Seattle, playing behind now-28-year-old Zach Miller; the last big riser is Atlanta’s Levine Toilolo. With Tony Gonzalez’ retirement (almost) official, Toilolo steps in as the starter in a high-powered offense.
The big drops this update include the previously mentioned Miller; the Eagles Brent Celek, 29, who will be giving more snaps to Zach Ertz; the other big drop includes Jacksonville’s Marcedes Lewis, who could be a decent buy-low candidate if Jacksonville draft’s a quarterback in May.
The new entries to the rankings include Houston’s Ryan Griffin, who immediately looks appealing thanks to Owen Daniels’ release; and the Giants Adrien Robinson who is currently the starter in New York thanks to Brandon Myers signing in Tampa.

Daily Dynasty Update – February 17th

Look for Eagles tight end Zach Ertz to be the primary receiving end next year, supplanting Brent Celek. It only makes sense as Philadelphia invested a 2nd round pick in Ertz and he has the tools to contribute now.
The running back situation in Indy is wide-open headed in to 2014. I still say this could be a great time to buy-low on Trent Richardson. Will he be a top five dynasty back? Probably not. But is he better than his performance in Indy last year? I think so. It wouldn’t hurt to investigate the possibility of acquiring him in your dynasty league.
Giants running back David Wilson is recovering nicely from neck surgery which is good news in any capacity. Dynasty owners that held on to him may reap the benefits after all.
It’s looking more likely that LaMarr Woodley will not be in Pittsburgh next year unless he takes a massive pay cut. This means Jason Worilds and Jarvis Jones are first in line to start in 2014. Stay tuned.

Daily Dynasty Update – January 23rd

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is set for groin surgery today. It’ll be the third straight off-season Peterson has gone under the knife but, as we’ve seen the last two years, it doesn’t seem to faze him. He’ll be ready for camp.
Expect the Giants to have a more up-tempo offense with new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. This points the arrow up for Eli, and anyone else in the Giants offense, in 2014 and beyond.
Expect more out of Zach Ertz in 2014 and beyond as he’ll have full camps and pre-seasons to get in a groove.
The Packers will give Brandon Bostick a look at tight end this off-season. His game is similar to incumbent Jermichael Finley’s with his athleticism and speed. Any tight end in that offense is worth a look. Bostick is young and if he has any ability to hold on to the ball, he’ll be an upgrade on Finley. Get him now if you can.
The Ravens will not re-sign tight end Ed Dickson who has been a major disappointment in dynasty circles. He entered the 2012 season as the starter only to see Dennis Pitta emerge. Then had a golden opportunity to bounce back after Pitta’s injury before the 2013 season only to see Baltimore sign re-tread Dallas Clark. Dickson’s days of contributing to your fantasy team are over.
The same will be said for Santonio Holmes of the Jets. Holmes has been an even bigger disappointment than Dickson where he was often injured and had his four lowest yardage seasons while in New York. Fun fact: not one of his seasons in New York was better than any of his four in Pittsburgh. Avoid in your dynasty leagues.

We have a new top five with Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski (injuries aside), new #3 Julius Thomas, Jordan Cameron, and Vernon Davis rounding it out.
Next up on the list is now second-year Washington tight end Jordan Reed, making a big leap from ninth to sixth. Other big risers include fellow second-year tight end Ladarius Green (from 16th to 11th) who will, presumably, take on a bigger role in San Diego next year. Also be on the lookout for Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (from 22nd to 16th) who had three of his four biggest yardage games in the last five games of the season. Ertz has more talent than any other tight end on the Eagles roster and should be utilized more.
Dropping this time is Packers tight end Jermichael Finley from 14th to 18th due to the questions about his health and where he’ll end up next season. Other drops include the Giants Brandon Myers, who possibly had the most disappointing fantasy season in the tight end category, and Washington’s Fred Davis who was unseated by the previously mentioned Reed. Neither one shows bounce-back potential in 2014.

Dynasty Recap – Week 9 – Eagles obliterate Raiders, 49-20

Posted on November 4, 2013 by dodgermoore Standard Reply

Eagles quarterback Nick Foles did some very good things, throwing for seven touchdowns and 406 yards on just 28 pass attempts for a ridiculous 14.5 YPA. While it would be nice to keep that pace up, fantasy owners should be happy to have half that. But with more play like that, Foles should lock up the job for 2014 and beyond. Stay tuned.
In a hopeful sign, Eagles rookie tight end Zach Ertz tied for the team lead with six targets and hauled in five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown. Let’s hope this is the kickstart of Ertz’s promising career.
Raiders backup running back Rashad Jennings had a big day with 102 yards rushing on 15 carries and seven catches for 74 yards. Jennings should be a fine addition for the rest of 2013 but shouldn’t be considered for next year unless the Raiders foolishly continue on with Darren McFadden.
Eagles linebacker Mychal Kendricks had a productive day with 10 tackles and a sack. It’s the second game in a row with double-digit tackles.
