[roundhouse11]

1PT FOR A TACKLE/PASS DEFENDED3PTS FOR A FF/FR/INT/sack6 PTS FOR A TDWho is the better start this week?Derrick Johnson (kc) vs philiDan Morgan (car) vs GBJohnson has played great so far for a rook. Morgan has not played well but has alway been solid. Last week he did alot better with witherspoon out. Witherspoon is again questionable.

No points for sacks? Morgan

Derrick Johnson w/o question!

I would lean towards Johnson, I think he will be busy with Westbrook all day.

I'd go with Morgan, just for the fumble recovery opportunity.

I might as well post my LB question here.Mark Brown vs. Baltimore, or Dirt Davis vs. Tampa Bay? I also have Lehman, just waiting for him to get the job. Similar scoring, but sacks are big, as we get 4 + 1/10 yardage.

See, I'd go with DJ, for the FF opportunity. That kid goes for the strip on every play.Having said that, Morgan is probably the safer pick.

Define "safer" please.

Meaning that I think Morgan will end the season with more tackles, and is a safer bet to have more tackles than DJ week in and week out. I think DJ is capable of gamechanging plays, forced fumbles, etc.

For the season, sure.Morgan gets to play against Ahman Green this week. I've owned Ahman long enough to know the ball is never safe in his hands. Does Westbrook ever fumble?

I respectfully disagree. D Johnson is stud material and will be defensive ROY candidate as long as he stays healthy. He's a definite playmaker and is on the field all the time. I'm not taking anything away from Morgan, but Morgan has been inconsistent and extremely injury prone (concussions). Besides, Witherspoon may be the better LB on that team. It's only been three games, but here's the numbersJohnson:

Game 1: 8-1-1-1 (Solo-assist-sack-f.fumbles)

Game 2: 7-1-0-0

Game 3: 2-2-0-1

Total: 17-4-1-2

DMorgan:

Game 1: 3-1-0-0

Game 2: 2-1-0-0

Game 3: 6-5-0-0

Total: 11-7-0-0

D Johnson will be a beast in this league for many years to come. We can monitor it, but my money is on DJ to have a better season to include fantasy.

Week 4 update - D Johnson:10-0-0Hope you started him. Morgan goes tomorrow night.
