my thinking as well, DJ will start the season and unless hes on fire Bostic will be rotated inthough out the seasonffchamp1 said:More rookie's make the pro bowl than you think.
Bostic, if on the field will be a two down LB more than likely. My guess is DJ holds it down for one year with Briggs and Anderson having three down roles.
I would be very shocked if Bostic started week 1. My money is on DJ Williams being be back by then. I wouldn't waste a pick on Bostic. Bostic won't see the field if Williams is healthy. Prior to the injury, the Bears were extremely excited about how DJ Williams was playing. They viewed Williams as a significant upgrade to Urlacher. Bostic is a rookie.
This is confusing. Why on Earth would the coaches say it was a wide open competition if they were that high on Williams? Why only sign him to one year if he was that much better than Urlacher? It just doesn't add up. In two more weeks, DJ Williwms may be out of a job if he doesn't pick himself up off the trainers table. Period.
My money is on DJ Williams being an outright cut by Sept. 5th. He lacks leadersrhip, he is old. Most importantly, they certainly don't need him with Bostic emerging.I would be very shocked if Bostic started week 1. My money is on DJ Williams being be back by then.

in redraft smith is easy choice...Well his stat line looked real good. I'm debating between him or Daryl Smith. Both are on waivers which have not started for my league and they went undrafted. I dont want to miss out on this guy and I would find it hard to believe that DJ would bump him once he comes back??
I see this as potentially one of Smith's best fantasy years as well. He was primarily the Sam throughout his career in Jax but when he did get opportunities to play the other spots his numbers were good.in redraft smith is easy choice...
in dynasty, smith could be top 10-20 LB for next few years (31 this year?)... he was always a better actual football player than IDP weapon except for a season or two, but toiled in obscurity for some bad jaguars teams in recent years... as an ILB with great DL in front of him, this is likely the best positioned he has ever been for IDP production (and soon recognition)...

Yes. Sez here Bostic actually competing with Williams at MLB spot..Signs are pointing towards DJ Williams being the Bears week 1 starter at MLB over Bostic.
