NYG Starting Safeties (1 Viewer)

[Bigtaurus]

I'm having difficulty getting a read on who the NYG starting safeties will be to open the season. Demps was a top 3 DB during the last 6 weeks of last year & Wilson was also solid. However, there has been talk of James Butler starting alongside Wilson. Anyone have any insight as to who the likely starters will be?

haven't heard any word, but I have Butler rostered in a couple of leagues, so I know who I'm pulling for!

All I can find on Butler is his limited stat lines the past 2 years. Any light you can shed on the guy would be helpful. The NYG safeties are a very productive position (should be even better with new, attacking scheme) and a great value pick.

then this one little nugget from the NYG site: Link

"Will Demps working with the first team the last two days? Has he earned that?

Because of the way he played, but it’s still in and out, in and out. The three of them (Demps, James Butler and Gibril Wilson) are rotating around and getting some time that way. But yeah, he earned it by making some plays in the game, so the competition is good. "

I had a feeling that this would happen, it was very early in camp when Demps was first "demoted" This will probably be be a "cloudy" situation for the next three weeks.

I read a report on ESPN that Demps dislocated his elbow. ESPN link :(
