Dynasty Fantasy Football Player News

Andy Dalton QB CAR
By: Feb 18: 7:42 PM EST

The Panthers have re-signed quarterback Andy Dalton to a two-year deal.

Dynasty Analysis

This seems like a good move for a Panthers team who again has pushed their chips into the middle of the table with a new improved Bryce Young, but still now maintain some insurance should he again falter. Dalton is a capable backup player but has no dynasty value unless Young should faceplant again.

Raheem Mostert RB
By: Feb 14: 7:16 PM EST

The Dolphins have released running back Raheem Mostert.

Dynasty Analysis

Mostert was a dynasty game changer in 2023 when he set career highs in rushing yards (1,012) and led the league with a whopping 18 rushing touchdowns. Injuries have always been his downfall and while he's played in 44 games the past three years, he's pushing 34 and hard to trust. Regardless, he should get a shot as a platoon player somewhere else. His dynasty value is certainly dropping and while he should remain on most rosters, he's looking like a player who could be released to make room for a dynasty rookie this Spring.

Phillip Dorsett WR ATL
By: Feb 13: 3:01 PM EST

The Falcons have signed free agent wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.

Dynasty Analysis

Once a first round pick of the Indianapolis Colts, Dorsett has posted just over 2,000 career receiving yards and 12 touchdowns over 94 career games with Indianapolis, New England, Jacksonville, Seattle, Houston, and Denver. The journeyman wideout could add some depth to Atlanta, but he's still far off the dynasty map.

Tyquan Thornton WR KC
By: Feb 13: 2:50 PM EST

Former Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has signed with the Chiefs.

Dynasty Analysis

The Pats used a second round pick on Thornton in 2022 but he produced just 39 catches for 385 yards and two touchdowns over 28 games and three seasons. He's unlikely to do much with the Chiefs and has little dynasty value, but he's still worthy of being on watch lists at the moment.

Aaron Rodgers QB
By: Feb 13: 2:35 PM EST

The Jets have informed Aaron Rodgers of his release.

Dynasty Analysis

The combination of Rodgers being woefully ineffective and apparently unwilling to conform to the expectations of a new regime led to this expected outcome. Rodgers was apparently given some new parameters to abide by, including attending more off-season activities and staying away from his controversial media appearances on multiple shows. Rodgers clearly balked at these new expectations and that left the Jets little choice. As for A-Rod, he'll be a true free agent for the first time in his career. Unfortunately, it's hard to see many teams looking at him as a viable starter after he's proven to be a shell of his former self the past year or so. This ultimately could be the end. Rodgers is still roster worthy at the moment, but that could change soon.

Kadarius Toney WR
By: Feb 12: 3:56 PM EST

Former Giants, Chiefs and Browns wide receiver Kadarius Toney was arrested on two counts -aggravated assault - strangulation and obstructing/harassing 911 calls.

Dynasty Analysis

And that'll likely do it for the former first round pick. Toney has all the athletic ability in the world, but he hasn't been able to keep himself out of the spotlight in any way, shape or form off the field. At this point, it would be shocking to see another team take a chance on him. While these are simply charges and he needs to be considered innocent until proven guilty, this news is just one more in a long list of red flags and quite simply could also be the most serious of the bunch.

Jalen Hurts QB PHI
By: Feb 9: 11:16 PM EST

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 17-of-22 passes for 221 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception, while adding 72 rushing yards and another score en route to being named this year's Super Bowl MVP.

Dynasty Analysis

The Eagles led 34-0 before Kansas City was on the board in a game that was essentially over at halftime. Give Hurts a ton of credit as the dual threat quarterback just had his way against a tough Chiefs defense. While Kansas City focused on stopping Saquon Barkley, Hurts made them pay dearly through the air and on the ground. With this on his mantle, Hurts will return next season as an elite QB1 in dynasty leagues.

Saquon Barkley RB PHI
By: Feb 9: 11:12 PM EST

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 57 rushing yards, six catches and 40 receiving yards in a Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.

Dynasty Analysis

Barkley struggled to run against a Chiefs defense that sold out to stop him. However, you won't see him complain as the Chiefs picked their poison and got stung by his supporting cast. Barkley is the most talented and productive running back in the league and should be in line to be the overall RB1 again next season. While his dynasty value is capped by his age, few players can win you weeks like he can.

Xavier Worthy WR KC
By: Feb 9: 11:09 PM EST

Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy had eight catches for 157 yards and two touchdowins in a Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.

Dynasty Analysis

Worthy led the team in catches, targets, yards and touchdowns on the day. While some of his production came in garbage time, his usage rate really spiked towards the end of the year and his dynasty ADP is clearly on the rise. Worthy looks like a player with a lot of runway to grow in dynasty leagues and could be even better should Travis Kelce decide to retire.

Patrick Mahomes QB KC
By: Feb 9: 11:07 PM EST

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 21-of-32 passes 257 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in a Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.

Dynasty Analysis

The game line actually looks a lot better than it was as Mahomes picked up a lot of empty yards and scores after the game was out of hand. Under siege from the first snap, Mahomes really didn't have a chance as he was sacked six times on the night. The Chiefs will likely still employ a bit of a conservative offense next year, but Mahomes should still be good enough to be a QB1 on the season, just nowhere near his early-career self.
