Easy to understand how the death of Jatavis' father could influence his production last week. But then Perryman steps up and turns in a big game while only playing 52% of the snaps. How is this going to shake out going forward? Who's the better play?

Good explanations. Still, it seems when I watch him, he's nowhere near the action.

He's already produced at a high level for more than one year, so we're not talking about a guy with "potential" who never delivers. If he has an established record and then fizzles, doesn't it almost have to come down to injury or the system?(I don't think he's the kind of player who coasts...

Thanks for the advice J Giles Band. But I wasn't really trying to get better at IDP. Not a noob. Been playing IDP for about 14 years. Out of my depth? I usually finish in the top 2 in my league in defensive points. Overreacting? Well, somebody is, but I'm not sure it's me. I'm just looking at...

Thanks Aaron. Thanks Ashem. That's the kind of analysis I was looking for. I'm glad the rest of you guys still have your sense of humor intact halfway through the season. Relax. I'm not dropping him, not benching him, just looking at numbers and asking questions. Fact is, you'd have to go back...

Early on he was posting very good numbers, as expected. But last week against SEA he only had 4 tackles and last night against NO he only had 2. I need more than that from my stud LB. Is this another case of home field scorers screwing their own players (like SEA)? Is he hurt? Has there been...

Is there an up-to-date list? I thought the original list was updated each week but it still shows J Mayo as a 3-down LB for NE. I read RTD regularly but it covers only highlights of selected teams, not every 3 down situation (as far as I can tell). It would be nice to have one reference point...

Thanks a bunch Bracie. Great comprehensive answer. Doesn't sound like there's going to be a quick turnaround. Teams will avoid giving D'Q tackle opportunities if they can. My league doesn't count assisted tackles so any assists he gets are a zero for me.

D'Qwell Jackson's numbers have dropped off sharply over the past 3 games (3, 3 and 2 tackles, no splash plays, no passes defended). I haven't heard anything that would explain it. As far as I know he's still an every down LB with no injuries to report. Anyone have any idea what's happened to...

Thanks tommyk7. I dropped him, too but I want to pick him up again when/if he's ready to play.

I haven't seen anything about his injury (groin) since he left the game last week. What's his outlook for week 13 and ROS?

Have you tried Custom Top 250+ Forward right here in Footballguys?

Thanks, Jene. Invaluable as always. Does Mason Foster rotating out (even though it's for a small number of subpackage plays) drop him below Lavonte David in TB? Bob

What's the latest on D. J. Smith? Is he playng 3 downs? How do you rank him?

The part about 31.3% seeming high is what gets me. I thought so, Jene Bramel thought so, you think so. But I have nothing to compare it to. Figures vary from source to source and I don't have both figures (FF and total fumbles) from anyone but NFL.com Bob
