They picked lb's in the 3rd and 5th rounds then re-signed Wagner. It may be a 2020 thing, but it could be a sometime in 2019 thing.KJ Wright is being criminally under valued in my opinion this off season. I see him ranked in the mid to late 40s (or even lower) on many LB rankings. This guy should remain a three down LB in Seattle and will be solid LB3 producer. His LB5 price tag probably has to do with injury plagued 2018 and being in Wagners shadow. I see right through those and will take him at this value all day.
I have been hearing a few reports about these situations recently.Ok, let's try this
AFC EAST
NFC SOUTH
Saints: Demario 100%, then a Aj Klein/Anzalone rotation
NFC WEST
Cardinals: Hicks 100%, I don't know Reddick %
Definitely for redraft only. He's no spring chicken-think 30 years old- but I think he’s still in a three down role and will be productive.They picked lb's in the 3rd and 5th rounds then re-signed Wagner. It may be a 2020 thing, but it could be a sometime in 2019 thing.
One player to keep an eye on this training camp: #Chiefs Linebacker Damien WilsonAFC WEST
Chiefs: another mess. Hitchens/Ragland/O'Daniel/Darron Lee/Damien Wilson, nobody is safe here...maybe Hitchens is the closest.
RushHour said:Baker will be a stud this year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a top 10 LB for IDP. Shouldn’t be on waivers anywhere.
Yeah I see he’s wearing the green dot. I think Kikos days are numbered as the tackle machine in MIA.Baker will be a stud this year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a top 10 LB for IDP. Shouldn’t be on waivers anywhere.
Torn ACL done for the year, who is the best bet to benefit?Jets: Williamson 100%
worth dropping either Jarrad Davis or Trevathan for him?I picked up Jerome Baker in all my IDP leagues. I have heard nothing but glowing reports all offseason from HC Flores. He had 5 tackles in a quarter and half Thursday PM. With Miami likely to be playing behind a lot in the 2nd halves this season, he might easily surpass 100 solos.
I personally would. Not sure which since I’m not a fan of either but probably Trevathan.worth dropping either Jarrad Davis or Trevathan for him?
You’d think Cashman but that assumes he can get up to speed quickly and I’m not sure on that. For fantasy it might not matter. They also have very weak depth so maybe they sign Foster or Bynes or another FA.Torn ACL done for the year, who is the best bet to benefit?
I think Neville Hewitt ends up splitting duties with Cashman, at a very minimum. Former CUSA defensive player of the year. Has a nice athletic profile, a healthy mean streak, and some experience playing last year when Lee was under suspension.You’d think Cashman but that assumes he can get up to speed quickly and I’m not sure on that.

I read somewhere a couple days ago that Cashman is strong in coverage and Hewitt isn't. So if that's true Cashman probably gets 3 rd down, nickel, hurry up duties.I think Neville Hewitt ends up splitting duties with Cashman, at a very minimum. Former CUSA defensive player of the year.

Sitzman's indication that cheese Jones will be a full-time player puzzled me.Reading the tea leaves, I think Tavai (even before the Jaread Davis injury) and Alex Anzalone will be 75+% guys this season.
If Anzalone can get on the field. Otherwise I think Kaden Elliss can make a big splash even in year 1.Reading the tea leaves, I think Tavai (even before the Jaread Davis injury) and Alex Anzalone will be 75+% guys this season.
Beat reporters have been saying this for a few weeks now. His time is now in NOLA...Reading the tea leaves, I think Tavai (even before the Jaread Davis injury) and Alex Anzalone will be 75+% guys this season.
don't know how much stock I'd put in that ... when you only list Kiko in Miami, who's only going to be a situation LB, I can't have much faith in the rest of the info. Baker will be a 3 down and Egauv damn close. McMillan is currently a 2 down and Kiko is behind all of them.
Completely agree.That's one thing so great about IDP to me. It's like a small town relative to the big city of offense where sophisticated metrics and parades of analysts make my head spin with all the information they can provide. In IDP, it's a few regular folks drinking from a firehose. Basic info goes out wrong. We can choose to stay ahead of the information trickle with a little leg work and get a leg up in our leagues.
But yeah, Kiko's roster spot is in jeopardy, Baker is wearing the green dot, and Eguavoen looks like he'll be in that 75%-90% range. Maybe higher if they don't roll out Reshad Jones as dime linebacker.
Kiko has now been traded to the Saints. Fire up your Jerome Baker's and maybe your Raekwons or your Sam Eguavoen's.Reported that Kiko requested a trade so something could happen this weekend
Klein wasn't expected to play 3 downs. Kiko, imo, is simply rotational player. He's an upgrade over whatever was behind Davis/Anzalone/Klein because it was pretty damn thin. Kiko has experience playing multiple roles for the position. Klein has some versatility too.Not a great landing spot for Kiko since it's late and muddled but Klein has not been great. Theres a path to 3 down but Kiko is a hold and hope for a clear role by week 3.
Depends on the roster size, but I don't see any way Kiko jumps right in with only one week of practice. If you have room, add Anzalone now before anybody else does. He's a starting MLB.Little more hesitant to grab Anzalone now that Kiko is in town. I know he’s old, slowed down but his move to NO is slightly concerning to everyone’s long term usage.
Anzalone doesn't have a Kiko problem. He has an Anzalone problem. Skill isn't his issue. Functional play isn't. Availability is. He stays available then he stays on the field. He doesn't and he won't.Little more hesitant to grab Anzalone now that Kiko is in town. I know he’s old, slowed down but his move to NO is slightly concerning to everyone’s long term usage.

C'mon, you're a Saints fan. You know exactly what I'm referring to. He topped out at 46 snaps in a game last year. Not because Klein was better - because the team didn't trust him to stay on the field if they played him more. He played 2 games in 2015. 8 games in 2016. 4 games in 2017. They open the door for him to earn a full time job after making it through a full season in a limited role. Then he's banged up all August, so they trade for an insurance policy in the event he can't hold-up once games start.Played every game last season.
you're overthinking it, imo. he's getting his shot now after showing improvement from last year. he's ready to take on a full-time role. Kiko is as much about having an experienced, versatile player to pitch in and even take over in the event of injury.C'mon, you're a Saints fan. You know exactly what I'm referring to.
