Anyone rolling with Cushing right from the get-go? (1 Viewer)

a non-roided Cushing...you guys think he'll have any set backs?

You better believe it

I am.

I'm starting Zac Diles in a league as well (surely his run of great production can't just precipitously fall off a cliff with Cushing back in the lineup, can it? ). With Cushing taking his job back on the strong side, Diles will be moving to the traditionally fantasy-friendly WLB. Granted, as probably a 2-down player, but he should still put up enough production to make him startable as at least a LB3?

Already in my lineup. Cushing has the latest and greatest in PEDs, I'm sure he's on whatever is not being detected right now.

As a fellow Diles owner these are my questions as well.

we've found out that more is funneled to the strongside in that defense. look at diles in 08/cushing in 09 compared to whomever has lined up at WLB in that span

Diles was already playing the Weakside, Adibi was playing the strongside. Diles will take a hit because he will be replaced in nickel packages by Cushing. The WLB is not as fantasy friendly in Houston's defense.

Anyone expecting a setback should have a look at his training videos during his suspension:

I'm thinking of starting him, but my LBs are already pretty deep and I might try playing it safe. I start 4 and along with Cushing I have James Anderson, Ray Lewis, Keith Rivers, Jon Beason, Rocky McIntosh, Sean Weatherspoon, and Daryl Smith. But FBG has Cushing projected to score more than all those guys this week...

An impatient owner dropped him after losing in week 1.. I picked him up off waivers

the matchup this week is too good to pass up.. I'm definitely starting him!!

I drafted Cushing in a start 3 LB 2 pt/tackle IDP heavy league, and after much consternation, have benched Ray Lewis for Cushing this week. Lewis faces the pass happy Broncos. I don't trust Cushing to have a big week, but I think Lewis will not have a good stat line. I like Cushing's matchup against the Giants.
