BUY
Jason Worilds- OLB-
Steelers
Pittsburgh reloads better
than any team in the NFL. They draft specific types of players, groom them for a
year or three, and then unleash hell on opposing offenses. With Woodley out and
the Browns overmatched, Worilds had a MONSTER game for an outside rush backer
tallying an 8-1-2 line. Keep in mind that it was against the Browns who would
be a below .500 team in the SEC, but Worilds is the heir apparent to Harrison
and it makes you wonder of the Steelers will tire of Harrison’s
antics and simply move on.
TJ Ward- SS- Browns
The Browns offense is disgusting. It brings nothing to the table and their 12 year old QB
pretty much keeps the defense on the field. On defense, they have a young
nucleus of playmakers that will have to carry this bumbling squad. That
includes TJ Ward who is returning from injury this week. Ward excelled big time
as a rookie last season. His numbers were a bit down prior to the injury but
that may have something to do with said injury. Regardless his talent warrants
taking a shot on this in the box thumper.
Patrick Peterson- CB-
Cardinals
I was really skeptical about
Peterson’s ability as an IDP asset but DC Horton has really figured out a way
to maximize Peterson athleticism. Watching him this past week it reminded me of
how Green Bay
uses Charles Woodson. They blitz him, he’s aggressive, and his return ability
is just an added bonus. His downfall is that he’s a gambler and occasionally
gets burnt. Oh well, that just means the defense stays on the field.
KJ Wright- LB-
Seahawks
The Seahawks said their ability
to trade Aaron Curry was because of KJ Wright. He’s not someone I would rush to
pick up but he’s definitely someone to monitor. He’s had sacks in back to back
games, has a high motor, and seems to always be around the play. With Hawthorne
and Chancellor in town, tackles will be scarce but I think he could eventually
make a name for himself rushing from the strong side.
SELL
The Carolina Panthers
Well, not
everyone. I would keep James Anderson and Charles Johnson, and MAYBE Charles
Godfrey. Everyone else can go. This team has been torched all year and has had
multiple injuries at pretty much every position known to man. Between returning
starters, the draft, and free agency, this team could, and should, look
remarkably different come August.
Jonathan Vilma- MLB-
Saints
Vilma has
not looked right all year and you could easily convince me that the Saints are
a better defense when Jo-Lon Dunbar is manning the MLB spot. Vilma will soon be
30 years old and just has the look of a veteran that has lost something. If you
have to make a choice between Vilma and one of the late season breakouts like
Colin McCarthy or Perry Riley, I wouldn’t think twice about cutting Vilma.

@bluepegasus
Even though you're scoring system is tackle heavy, I'd still go with Worilds as Maualuga's matchup isn't that great for tackle-relient ILBs.
@bluepegasus I am not a fan of Maualuga. I think the Steelers will blitz Alex Smith heavily, making Worilds a good play with Harrison suspended.

thanks gentlemen!!
what you think of Blackburn Chase this week, can he make 5-7 tackles playing MLB?
@Anonymous Over who? I wouldn't want to have to depend on Chase Blackburn in the playoffs. Chase Blackburn wouldn't start Chase Blackburn in the playoffs! You might get 5 total tackles but he's just as likely to get 3.
Thanks for answer, Eric. The problem is im playing in a big 32 team dynasty league with 11 defense players in lineup and a lot of them in the roster, so the number of availavle players are very limited. I have very good defense incl Harris, Bishop, Lewis and Anderson in LB and Harper and Stewart (SL) in DB. Total number of LB+DB in lineup is 8. But big problems are injures. So last waivers i got Sanders (ATL) and Blackburn and they got nothing. But i won divisional round and this week 15 i have championship game. Grimes is out, Ray Lewis and Bishop are questionable so i need somebody for this game. I need to choose 2 players out of 4 to play this week from Jennings, Kelly CIN CB , Blackburn and 2 corners from 49 Rogers and Brown. T 1 pnt, TA - 0,5, INT- 2, PD - 2, TFL - 2, Sack - 2. Thats the problem, and thanks for help
Thanks
@Anonymous
I'm pretty confident that Ray Lewis is going to play this week.
