efranklin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I just saw that Sean Lee is expected to be back for the Monday night game. He was dropped after his injury so I went ahead and picked up him. What kind of an impact should I expect for his first game back? It would be great to have him pick up where he left off for the fantasy playoffs. Edited December 3, 2013 by efranklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 He doesn't have a very good matchup but I think as long as he's playing he should be in starting lineups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowing Forte out of the backfield doesn't make for a good matchup? If Lee's good to go he's a top-10 LB this week with top-5 upside, IMO.

If Lee's good to go he's a top-10 LB this week with top-5 upside, IMO. Since week 7 the Bears haven't been a great matchup...Alec Ogletree & Stephen Tulloch are the only LBs to have more than 6 solos in a game but a bunch more have had 4 or less. I mention solos because the game is in Chicago and in 6 home games opposing LBs have been awarded 12 total assists...that's an average of 2/game. So it's unlikely that there will be many assists to help pad his stat line this week. And to clarify, I didn't say it was a horrible matchup, just that it wasn't a great one. But it's still good enough to warrant starting him, and yes, he absolutely has top 5 upside, which is why you start him...just don't be surprised if he finishes with a 5-1-0 line. Lastly, I've projected him for 7-2-0, 1 FF & 1 PD Here's how LBs have done since week 7: Audie Cole 4-5-0, 1 PD Chad Greenway 6-4-0 James Laurinaitis 6-1-0, 1 FR & 1 PD Alec Ogletree 10-1-0, 1 PD Daryl Smith 4-2-0 Stephen Tulloch 7-0-0 DeAndre Levy 5-1-0, 1 INT & 1 PD AJ Hawk 4-4-0 Brad Jones 2-1-0 Perry Riley 4-3-0 London Fletcher 3-1-0 Edited December 4, 2013 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
