LB Depth for playoffs

[TheShiznit]

Looking to dump Crowder or Lemar for a better backup to warm the bench. Couple of questions come to mind.

 

First who should I drop..Crowder or Lemar?

 

Second: Who should I pick up?

 

1.) Caleb Miller- has put up some good stats this year and is now in the middle. He had a monster

game playing the middle. The question on him is whether or not he is going to stay in the middle

or not...or will Simmons slide back in when his neck is better?

 

2.) That Fox guy filling in for Derrick Johnson- Is he worth picking up? How long is Derrick out for?

 

3.)Any other suggestions you may have!

 

 

Hopefully someone can have some suggestions before my waiver wire passes tomorrow night.

 

Thanks for the help.

I've been so close to picking up Caleb Miller so many times this season. If he's this successful in the middle, Simmons won't replace him. Simmons is so average, he's a great backup, and a marginal starter. He's the guy I'm leaning towards picking this week. (Maybe I'm a disgruntled Odell owner too, so whatever).

 

Demorrio Williams comes to mind too. So much talk about how great Hartwell is, and all this guy does when given the opportunity is produce. Another guy I regretted not picking up last year ( I rode Hartwell too long ).

 

I'm interested in hearing more about Keyaron Fox.

I am leaning towards Caleb too. I also need a WR but that is a different discussion!!

 

Fox has produced the last couple of weeks with Derrick O out....but is Derrick our any longer....and if so, does Fox stay in the lineup...maybe replacing Kawika in the middle. Interesting scenario there.

 

I think you are right...Caleb is the guy. Now, do I drop Crowder( on the weakside and the backup for Thomas) or Lemar(who is sucking bad this year).

I don't know how to answer this question, because I don't know much about Washington other than their Dbacks score a bunch. Which must meanthat the RBs are slipping through the LBs pretty easily, which means that the defensive line must not be able to keep the O-lineman off the linebackers. Assuming this thought process is correct (which I don't have a clue), I wouldn't expect a change out of Lemar unless you see a change from the front 4.... (do they have a front four?)

LOL...that is a good question!! Marcus Washington...who has been a solid IDP play the last couple of years...is only producing single digits as well. Something is happening in Wash...and I don't want any part of it!!! I suspect that Crowder serves a greater purpose of being the replacement for one of my best LBers. I think I will drop Lemar for Caleb.

 

thanks for the discussion.

Nothing like a good discussion gone wrong
