Meh, sorry about last week and the Smith-Suggs deal. Suggs is clearly healthy again and making plays in run defense. Smith should've gotten a sack or two last week but forced Frye into the linebackers instead. This week, I think I'd roll with Suggs but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong again as I think the Bengals turn the tables on the Ravens this week.I'd start Bulluck and Fujita by matchups. Assuming Gore is fully healthy by Friday, Fujita should have an excellent opportunity at a solid tackle day. Julian Peterson could have a huge day against the rookie quarterback this week but your scoring system is skewed just enough toward tackles that he's riskier than Fujita IMO. See my response to pretender's question for my thoughts on Tulloch. The combination of a poor Browns rush attack and Derrick Johnson returning to the lineup hurts Mitchell's value. Both Henry and Winfield are solid choices this week. I think this is the matchup you'd like to play Henry but Winfield's potential tackle numbers and Grossman's schizophrenia are probably too good to overlook.I think you have to go with Atogwe here. The Cardinals aren't the best matchup generally speaking, but the Rams are beat up on the line and Witherspoon may be slowed by a hamstring injury (see where he lands on the injury report this week) so this may be the week Edge gets into the secondary a bit. Also, Atogwe has been money in coverage and could get some nice stats helping over the top against the Cards pass attack. Bell, Manuel, and Williams all face inconsistent rushing and passing attacks -- I don't know how you choose among them.2 points for solo tackle, 1 point for assist, 4 points for a sack, 3 points for FF and FR, and 4 points for INT.DE (Pick 1)Justin Smith-Cin. vs. RavensTerrell Suggs-Balt. @ BengalsThinking of going with Suggs and hope he keeps up his recent hot streak.LB (Pick 2)Keith Bulluck-Ten. vs. ColtsScott Fujita-NO vs. 49ersKawika Mitchell-KC @ BrownsJulian Peterson-Sea @ BroncosStephen Tulloch-Ten. vs. ColtsJonathan Vilma- NYJ @ PackersGoing with Bulluck for sure, thinking about Mitchell just based on match-ups, is Tulloch worth a start next to Bulluck?CB (Pick 1)Anthony Henry- Dal. @ NYGAntoine Winfield- Min. @ BearsThinking of going with the obvious choice I think Winfield.S (Pick 1)O.
