Which LB to roll with? (1 Viewer)

Hi all, this is the first year I've had any type of IDP component.  It's pretty laid back; you start one DP of any position, scoring as follows:

Assisted Tackles - 0.75

Solo Tackles - 1.5

Each Sack - 3

Every 3 Total Tackles - 1

Blocked Punt, PAT or FG - 2

Each Interception - 3

Each Fumble Recovered - 2

Each Fumble Forced - 1

Each Safety - 2

Passes Defensed - 1.5

The scoring seems to emphasize tackles and de-emphasize big plays, so I figure the strategy is to go with a three down LB that will rack up tackles.  I drafted CJ Mosley but dropped him for Telvin Smith when he got hurt.  I just picked Mosley back up since he came back strong against the Steelers, and Smith seems to be off to a somewhat slow start.  Fred Wagner is also a free agent right now, four straight games with 10+ tackles.

Of Mosley, Smith, and Wagner, who would you roll with as your weekly guy?  Appreciate any insight...

 
I would go with Mosely as I think he is proven and Baltimore is playing pretty well.  He looked healthy against Pitt last week so I would go with him.

However, with only starting on IDP player it really isn't a huge issue either way.  It probably has minimal impact and there should be plenty of talent on the waiver wire. 

 
Mosley is the safest.  Smith is streakier, and more of a big-play guy, so I'd stay with CJ.

I assume you mean Fred Warner?  Bobby Wagner is also a pretty elite talent, but context suggests you meant the SF rookie.  I'd hold off on him till we see how well he co-exists with Foster.
