The kid looked good and would have had a couple more tackles if those holds weren't called.So what is the story on rookie FA CHI LB Timu? Comes up from the practice squad and dopes well. Not even listed on MFL...
Looks like Anderson and Jones are not the players we thought they were?
Whatever happened to Ramik Wilson? Didn't he start 2 games and then had an ankle injury? Never seemed to make it back in the lineup after that.bud29 said:KC's Justin March is probably not worth an add in most leagues yet, but should be one to closely monitor, IMO. Missed this entire year due to a torn meniscus, but was really lighting it up in OTAs/Training Camp/Preseason. Looked like the best ILB on KC's roster not named Derrick Johnson.

He's pretty much Josh Mauga 2.0 from what I've seen. Pretty good in coverage, but generally non-aggressive and slow to get off blocks. Lets the plays come to him, doesn't go attack. Just very unspectacular. From the little bit I've seen of March, he appears to be more aggressive in the run game (which KC could use). Not bad in coverage either.Whatever happened to Ramik Wilson?

I may have picked up the wrong guy in a deep league when I took dj Alexander.KC's Justin March is probably not worth an add in most leagues yet, but should be one to closely monitor, IMO.

I did.Oh crap - do I have to pick up Brandon Graham again this offseason in case they go 4-3?
we think that he'd play DE?Oh crap - do I have to pick up Brandon Graham again this offseason in case they go 4-3?
I don't think anyone has any idea, but as an end of the bench flier in most formats the roster spot is probably justified.saintfool said:we think that he'd play DE?Oh crap - do I have to pick up Brandon Graham again this offseason in case they go 4-3?
Freeman with the Bears now. Should be a solid position for him although Trevathan signed there as well.Jerrell Freeman is a UFA. If he leaves IND, Sio Moore could take his place.
(Green Bay is one possibility for Freeman)
ILB. Took some first-team reps in Mauga's spot last preseason before tearing his meniscus.Position?
someone needs to tell MFL and Rotoworld that he exists......
ramik wilson might be ahead of him though.
Posted this upthread about Wilson:ramik wilson might be ahead of him though.
I think given the Chiefs' current ILB corps, it's a possibility that March nabs a starting spot next to Johnson next year. He did start with the 1st-teamers against Arizona in KC's first preseason game iirc, ahead of Mauga, Wilson, and Alexander. We'll have to see if he looks the same post-injury.He's pretty much Josh Mauga 2.0 from what I've seen. Pretty good in coverage, but generally non-aggressive and slow to get off blocks.

Does the injury to a certain stud LB on the same team open the door for March?it is going to be one of the camp and OTA situations to monitor, i think. it's not like Ramik did poorly from a production standpoint. it's nice that March got some praise in this offseason and has some buzz though.
Reaction ill probably be that it's more an opportunity for Dee Ford.slackjawedyokel said:Does the injury to a certain stud LB on the same team open the door for March?
Aaron Lynch is an OLB, not a DT. If they ever move to a 4-3, he could move to a DE. But DT won't ever happen, and DE won't happen in 2016.DLs:
1) Danielle Hunter (DE - MIN) looks to be a beast in Minnesota.
2) Jabaal Sheard (DE - NE) played outstanding football last year for NE; strong against both run and pass. Wouldn't be surprised if the Pats moved him around both inside and outside on the line.
3) Aaron Lynch (DT - SF) had a strong 2nd year, snap count really went up as the year went on. Struggled against the run his first year and a half, but really came on strong in the 2nd half of last season.
4) Devin Taylor (DE - DET) has been hyped for a couple of years now, but with the Jones moving on in free agency should get a chance to really get after the QB. 7 sacks and 27 solos last year despite logging only 500 snaps. Could be a monster in a full-time role.
5) Henry Anderson (DE - IND) is a favorite of mine. Under-rated and under-appreciated coming out of college. He was a monster in week1 last year, but put up solid tackles despite being in a limited role the next few games before being injured in week 9. May not be immediately ready for the start of the season though. I just have a hunch he's going to be a really good player.
I don't think they view him as much of an edge rusher. Dee Ford will probably get the biggest bump from that injury.Does the injury to a certain stud LB on the same team open the door for March?
I'm just some dude, certainly not the site expert.Love to hear from Tick on these players............. but any hardcore IDPer can weigh in....
let's talk some IDP stashes/breakouts- any thoughts on these players?
1)Todd Davis(Den)- with Trevathan gone and Johnson a possible holdout, is this special teamed poised for a bigger role?
2)Sio Moore(IND)- Jerrell Freeman is out of Indy, and Moore has has some off season missteps- but all I hear about is Nate Irving, who is never healthy
3)Gerald Hodges(SF)- Traded during the season last year, he was an upgrade over Wilhoite and seemed to excel when he got playing time, but Chip Kelly is over there now and who knows what he's thinking
4)John Timu/Johnathon Anderson(CHI)- obviously the Trevathan/Freeman signings hurt their value, but both seemed to do okay when they got a chance to play. Which one(if either)has better chance to accel once they become a FA?
5)Christian Kirksey(CLE)-Karlos Dansby/Craig Roberston are gone- and Demario Davis is in, but does Kirksey have what it takes to be a 3 down LB or is he a 2 down Thumper?
6)Mason Foster(WAS)-he seemed to do well once Robinson was benched(now in NYG)- he'll never be elite but seems to be liked by Washington
7)Arthur Brown(BAL)-he was highly touted out of college, but has barely played in any games? Victim of circumstance or just not that good?
8)Anthony Hitchens(DAL)-McClain re-signed for one year, but Hitchens seemed to played well when filling in for Lee/McClain-why can't he get a shot at full time?
9)Devon Kennard(NYG)- Giants LB's have been a mess for years- will he have a shot at a full time role this upcoming season?
10)Owamagbe Odighizuwa(NYG)- JPP re-signed for a year and Vernon got five years- I hear that he struggled as a rookie and may not pan out? Any thoughts?
Anyone with feedback or insight, feel free to reply.
I have liked him for a while. Threw his name out in this thread a while back. He was always a guy with raw talent that needed to develop.JoeSteeler said:what about Howard Jones? LB on MFL, DE on rotoworld so should be reclassified for 2016. Had 5 sacks in limited action.
Pack just released Nate Palmer, San Barrington?, but feel they'll draft someone in the early rounds this time.Jene's Reading The Defense from week 13 (I think) was on this topic. If you're a subscriber, check it out.
Guys on my 4 teams that are future-only:
DEs:
Damontre Moore
Denico Autry
Dante Fowler
Frank Clark
Owamagbe Odighezuwa (nailed the spelling!)
LBs:
Jonathan Anderson
Daryl Washington
Denzel Perryman
Jake Ryan
Paul Dawson
Jerod Mayo
Nate Palmer
DBs:
Clayton Geathers
Adrian Amos
Mayo and Washington are interesting gambles that were on waiver wires here and there all season. Otherwise, it's basically rookies and second year players who stuck on rosters of 4-3 teams.
Tartt's a good call - I had him, dropped him, and missed out when I tried to get him back.

I haven't picked up Barrington, but he's on my list - probably will pick him up if I can do it for almost nothing.Pack just released Nate Palmer, San Barrington?, but feel they'll draft someone in the early rounds this time.
Looks like Bethea is on the block.ChicagoArch said:There's a lot of excitement for Tartt, but the 49ers still have Antoine Bethea for another year. Are we a year early on Tartt? I picked up Clayton Geathers instead because I know he's starting this year.
Unfortunately March is not in MFL yet...Justin March
Zach Vigil
Ben Heeney
Zachary Orr
They said they liked him last year, you probably can, I think he was more a run stuffer and they may pick up a good LB in the draft. They tried getting by with cheap safeties, then finally drafted someone high, think they may do that again.I haven't picked up Barrington, but he's on my list - probably will pick him up if I can do it for almost nothing.
Won't your commish add him into the database manually?Unfortunately March is not in MFL yet...
