Better Minn LB-Hendersen or Greenway? (1 Viewer)

Minn runs a cover 2 defense(not sure if its the same as the tampa 2) but if the scheme would indicate anything, i'm thinking Greenway has more value at OLB than Hendersen. Any thoughts?

The Viking defense is probably still correctly considered as a base Tampa-2, but Leslie Frazier will mix in as many aggressive looks as Mike Tomlin did last year. FWIW, be careful of assuming that the WLB in a Tampa-2 is better than the MLB. It's better to assume that the WLB has more value in a Tampa-2 than a more traditional 4-3 cover package as plenty of Tampa-2 MLB have nice value. That's the way I think it'll go with Minnesota. Both players will be close in value but Henderson may end up the better boxscore player given the aggressive nature of the defense.
