Brian Orakpo is elgible at DE in Yahoo leagues. Is he a good play at DE? I am wondering if he will be getting more tackles than most DEs since he is really playing LB. Is he playing on the strong side though? PLus Orakpo still rushes the passer and can get sacks.

What is his value relative to true defensive ends in tackle heavy leagues?

Thanks for any insight!

Um, a sneaky play in august!Seriously, your league must be very small and/or you have short rosters and/or everyone's sleeping if Orakpo is on your WW!In a tackle heavy league (IMO), MLB >> WLB >> SLB >> RDE >> LDE.Good luck!
