So with Suggs out, it's anticipated that Upshaw will start for Suggs immediately. What's people best guess of his position declaration by the Ravens? LB or DE?

If he's a LB he's worthless but if declared a DE playing the Suggs pseudo-LB role, he could be top 10 DL this season! What's to expect?

Will probably depend on how the Ravens list him. I am really hoping for DE, but we will have to see.

Yes, it's all up to the Ravens. DE is what I'm praying for too.

Rotoworld (which MFL & All Star Stats use as their position guide) currently has Upshaw listed at DE. Obviously this is subject to change depending on camp updates/role change, but given the expectation he plays Suggs' role on the Ravens defense, the likelihood is he remains at DE this year.

MFL syncs their position designations to the depth charts at Rotoworld.

Yup. Pay attention there if you want to get the scoop on changes ahead of time.

Don't sleep on Pernell McPhee he might be the best pass rusher of the bunch in line to replace Suggs. My feeling is that they will cover Suggs with a combination of McPhee/Kindle/Upshaw/Kruger. Which one emerges is anyone's guess, but I think people are really sleeping on McPhee.

So what does Upshaw's value look like this year? Is Dumerville coming to town a good thing or a bad thing?

The blurb I saw yesterday is that they are planning a 3 man rotation between Suggs, Dumerville and Upshaw (mostly Dumerville coming out on running plays for Upshaw). So I guess this is bad for Upshaw, very bad.
