Better FF LB's ATL or DEN? (1 Viewer)

[Warpig]

Who do you think will have better numbers at the end of the year?

In ATL you have:

Boley

Brooking

Hartwell

and in Denver you have:

Gold

Wilson

Williams

I think they all have talent but none are really FF studs. Is it due to the schemes, down years, or are they just not as good as advertised?

*EDIT*

All of these guys (above) are currently available in my FA auction that is going on now and I'm looking for a little depth to add to the linebackers I already have: Andra Davis, Lemar Marshall, Angelo Crowell, Channing Crowder, and Julian Peterson.

The Denver defense isn't on the field very much, is a pretty balanced scheme, and all three linebackers are above average NFL talent. Taken together, unless you put the stud in the position to make plays (go look at DJ Williams' numbers over the last third of 2004), none of these guys are going to have much value.The Atlanta defense has had so many injuries across the defensive line and such relatively poor secondary play that the backers have been on the field much more often and often the only players available to make plays.From a fantasy perspective, Keith Brooking is easily the best option and IMO would become the best backer on your roster with Andra Davis a close second. Ian Gold has merits as well but is more or less replacement level talent.

From a FF perspective, I have to give the edge to DEN.

Wilson > Hartwell

Williams > Boley

Gold < Brooking

Right now I have my choice between Al Wilson, DJ Williams, Michael Boley, or Ed Hartwell.

First, why are Denver LB's tackle totals so low (as a group)? Between Ian Gold (88), Al Wilson (72), and DJ Williams (55) they totaled 215 tackles.

And, which out of all the LB's mentioned above will likely put up the better FF numbers this season?

For fantasy points, because of the scheme, Gold, Wilson than Williams (DJ is not even worth drafting).For talent, it goes the opposite, Williams, Wilson, then Gold.

Did you include the ATL LB's in your estimate? Boley, and Hartwell are still available as well.
