Great convos here. Here are my taeks on position battles. Let's keep crowd-sourcing this! What are y'all seeing?
AZ LBs: Collins makes me nervous. Hopefully, we'll learn something tonight. I'm ranking Vigil as a 2-down LB for now.
ATL LBs: Latest rumors have Debo coming back. I think Walker, who was wearing the dot last week, is his direct back-up
ATL safeties: Grant and Hawkins. Grant's a deep-league option only imo.
BAL SAF: Clark's holding off Hamilton for now. Could evolve in-season.
CAR LB: Wilson is the MIKE but will play 600-700 snaps. Pass.
CLE SAF: Ronnie Harrison's back on a near-minimum vet contract. I think he's a dime LB. He can't play single-high. Delpit and JJ3 to start and play somewhat interchangeably. Delpit might be useful for FFB. JJ3 is a more proven deep guy.
CLE LB: I think they WANT Phillips to earn the job, but he has to do it. Hasn't yet.
DEN LB: I've been banging the table about this for weeks. It's Jewell. If Schobert was more than depth, he'd have been signed before Griffith got hurt.
DET LB: I suspect Barnes is behind Anzalone. Rodriguez appears to have earned the other LB spot.
DET SAF: Walker strong, Elliott free
HOU: Who's Jon Owen? Is he for real or clearly Eric Murray's back-up? I guess my bewilderment over Lovie Smith's opinion of Eric Murray as a starting caliber player clouds my perspective on this. Pitre the other starter. Enough two-high that none matter much.
IND SAF: Cross
JAX: Jenkins strong, Cisco free. Based on deployment, Jenkings SHOULD be useful, but that's been the case for a couple years now.
KCC DE: I was worried Dunlap was signed to start, but it doesn't look like it. Clark and Karlaftis ftw.
LVR LB: Deablo ahead of Brown based on their second game. Brown ran with the 2s. IMO, the bigger question is whether Perryman will play full-time for the first time in his career (83% last year). I can't understand why nearly everyone thinks he will. Any insights, y'all?
LAC LB: Van Noy and Tranquill. I'd be surprised if either played more than 85% of snaps. Both go so late in drafts that they're worth a shot.
NYG SAF: McKinney ftw. Love doesn't matter for FFB.
NYJ LB: Kwon and Quincy battling. Need more info.
NYJ SAF: Whitehead and Joyner start. Some guy named Jason Pinnock is a darkhorse at free. Davis is
.
NOS LB: Werner's the guy next to Davis, but look at Kwon's snap share last year. 75% maybe? Dyno hold.
PHI LB: It's Edwards's job as long as he can hold off Dean. So far, so good.
PHI SAF: I've scoffed at Epps, but it looks real. I thought Tartt could earn a job here, but he's battling for a roster spot. I'm watching Philly vs. Cleveland now. Tartt just took the field.
That's after missing last week's game for personal reasons.
PIT: If Bush matters for FFB, it's because he backs into it on a thin depth chart. Myles Jack will be his usual inefficient self as the 3-down LB.
SFO SAF: No one's taking hold of the spot next to Ward. The most significant FFB impact is perhaps that Ward's value is blunted. SFO wants Hufanga or Moore to emerge as the deep guy. Moore's lost a step after the Achilles. I'm not sure why SFO projected Hufanga for that role in the first place. Odum is depth and special teams ace IMO.
SEA EDG: Mafe looks the part. He was supposed to be a project. Neither Nwosu or Taylor are stout enough in run D. Maybe odd fronts will help reduce Seattle's exposure there. Then the question is, can any of them cover? All are deep dart throws IMO.
TB DBs: There's a clear top 4 here IMO: Davis, Dean, Winfield, Edwards. Neal, Ryan, Bunting all battling for snaps behind them.
