I’d go for Quinn, I like Griffen and he’s stepped up big time, but Quinn is no slouch despite his poor start, Also i’m a 49ers fan and Kaepernick does take unnecessary hits and sacks because of his running ability. Still like Griffen long term though, that was a good pickup, assuming you didn’t draft him.

At LB I’ve gotta say Kendricks, he is raring to go this week by all accounts. He got 2 tackles last week on 23 (of 73 possible snaps). So if his field time is likely to double or triple, he should be in line for a 7 or 8 tackles game with some TFLs thrown in for good measure!

Always happy to help man

Also, would you rather play Everson Griffen or Robert Quinn at DL? (4 points per tackle, 6 points per sack for DL)

Would you rather play Mychal Kendricks or Anthony Barr at LB? (2 points per tackle, 6 points per sack for LB)

Thanks again!

H Zach, just seen that Berry is questionable this week so maybe Church is the better option – i’d wait as late as you can, Church has been uninspiring this year but if Berry is still a bit banged up…

Hi Zach!

Hmmm, it’s close, i’d say he edges both this week, but if you start him bear in mind you’ll probably lose whoever you drop for good. I still think Mathieu has a great chance at being a top 5 safety for the rest of the season if he can maintain his health and starting spot. The gambler in me says start Mathieu, but to be honest Berry and Church are both among the best safeties in IDP so I could go both ways.

I say stick with who you have, MAthieu likely available next week anyway. Also his playing style suits big play scoring more than tackle heavy, and if your league offers 2 pts per tackle maybe a Berry/Church combo would work better. By the way I prefer Berry over Church this week, Jets can’t throw and when they do it’s often picked. Also Vick will be scrambling most of the game no doubt – safeties like Berry will eat him alive.

Do you like Mathieu more this week than Barry Church or Eric Berry? I would have to drop one of them to pick up Mathieu who was just dropped in our league this week.

2 Point per Sack, 2 Point per Tackle, 10 Point per Interception, 4 point per safety.

Thanks!
