IS there anything I should change?? Revis over Brown?? Or sit Ellison and play Brown and Revis??

TY in advance!!

DT, DE and LB, I agree with your choices.

CB, I prefer Revis to Brown because he has better ball skills and I think the tackle numbers will be relatively close. But it's close to me.

Safety, the first thing is to make sure Polamalu plays. I think he is supposed to, but players like him, you should always double check. If he plays, he starts. The other, I would play White over Alexander as I think he has a better matchup. But, like the CBs it's debatable too.

Johnson, Ed IND DT - 4 20.13
Kelly, Tommy OAK DT - 5 11.04
Redding, Cory DET DT - 4 21.04

Abraham, John ATL DE - 7 13.04
Kampman, Aaron GBP DE - 8 2.13
Kiwanuka, Mathias NYG DE 10 4 8.13

Warren, Ty NEP DE - 4 14.13

If you haven't started Kiwanuka, I'd probably go with Abraham narrowly.

Brooks, Derrick TBB LB - 10 5.04

Ellison, Keith BUF LB - 6 FA
Fletcher-Baker, London WAS LB 31 10 1.04
Leber, Ben MIN LB - 8 16.13
Smith, Derek M SDC LB - 9 FA
Thornton, David TEN LB - 6 3.04

I'll assume you started Fletcher. I'm not ready to endorse Ellison as an every-down player yet.

Brown, Sheldon PHI CB - 7 15.04
Flowers, Brandon KCC CB ® - 6 9.04
Madison, Sam NYG CB - 4 17.04
McKenzie, Mike NOS CB (Q *) - 9 FA
Revis, Darrelle NYJ CB - 5 7.04

Alexander, Gerald DET S - 4 12.13
Polamalu, Troy PIT S - 6 6.13
White, Marvin CIN S - 8 19.04


Rather have all three safeties and Revis in over Brown.

Also, matchups (with home and away) are really helpful when requesting lineup advice. Especially when looking at a full roster of options like this. I just don't trust myself to remember every matchup correctly so it greatly cuts down on the research and window toggling I have to do to give considered answers to these questions. Thanks.
