Paul Worrilow....who is he? (1 Viewer)

The dude missed a total of 3 snaps of the 400+ opportunites over the last 6 straight games.

Glass half full: His base & subpackage role lokks to be pretty much set at this time.

Glass half empty: This probably is a good measure for his ceiling and things can turn south in the long run.
That half empty glass is looking mighty good.

Since Week 9 (his first big game) Paul Worrilow is the #1 LB in my league. We have a slightly modified scoring system, but unless you're in a league that scores "big plays" very heavily, then Worrilow is probably tops in yours as well. Top 3, at least, in most scoring systems.

Take away his first three weeks where he had huge games (which is very silly, btw - big games are part of any player's resume) and he's still 13th in my league.

I'd say being 13th every week is about his floor, and his ceiling is #1. That's very, very good.

Things change in the offseason, but as of now I'd only start a handful (maybe 4 guys?) ahead of him on a week to week basis.
I am a Worrilow owner in dynasty and have been a close follower - I, personally, think he is a beast.

 
Q right now...anything to worry about?

PER ESPN

Worrilow (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Spin:
Worrilow previously appeared on the injury report in Week 12 due to a shoulder concern, but the ailment didn't stop him from posting nine tackles versus the Saints. Moreover, during his most recent six games, he's averaged a whopping 13.8 stops (8.3 solo). IDP owners should keep plugging him into lineups with the fantasy playoffs in full force.
I'm not too worried. As mentioned he played through the same injury last week. I believe he was also questionable going in to that game.

If he can, he is going to play. Even though he's been a fantasy stud these last few weeks, he needs to continue to prove himself to coaches for next year and beyond.

 
So what's the general consensus on this guy for next year and beyond? Do we have a tackling machine in the middle of the lineup for the next several years, or is anyone with more knowledge of the Falcons than I worried they might not be totally sold? From a distance he sure looks like a nice young keeper.

 
I would say he's a keeper, but I can't say I'm in the know. This last game was the first time he didn't lead the team in tackles in probably all of his starts. I think I heard they were dropping him into coverage quite a bit this last week, often almost as deep as a safety. I don't think that is a normal thing, but with his crazy athletic ability for an LB, it's maybe not out of the question. Being an elite pro seems to me like the one thing that could possibly keep him from being an elite FF player. I guess if you own him I would not sell him, just gotta hope they keep him closer to the line like most MLB's.

Rotoworld's opinion on Worrilow so take it FWIW: Worrilow graded out poorly in both pass coverage and run defense per Pro Football Focus' game charts. Whether Worrilow is Atlanta's middle linebacker of the future remains to be seen. His long-term IDP value is shaky.

His production cannot be denied. He saved my ### after Sean Lee went down. But Atlanta's poor defense and the run heavy schedule they played against was certainly a factor.

 
i am in a draft now and tinking of taking him as my 4th LB still not toobad for the production he should give.

ATLs defense will be crap if tehy dont resign guys so dont see them going out to get a new LB so he shold still have some value

I'm not a fan of Rotoworld, but am a fan of PFF.

I'd like to see all of their actual grades on Paul, and then go from there. Often opinions here on the forums make far more sense that Roto's nonsense.

PFF ranked him 41st out of 55 ILB's with at least 25% of team's snap.

He played "only" around 440 snaps (Poz and Dqwell are right behind him at 42nd and 44th ILB but they have more than double the snaps Worrilow has). And I think that the way PFF grades it would means that more snaps would have been more "opportunities" to get even more bad grades on each play. There is no "per snap grade" on PFF, so 42 out of 55 is not really a ranking per se, as every player has a different amount of snaps. With 1000 snaps Worrilow could have been "ranked" much worse.
