Tell me about Ronnie Harrison Jr (ATL DB playing LB... for now?) (1 Viewer)

The guy is putting up crazy number the last 2 weeks and is listed as DB in MFL but appears to be playing LB... and weekly MFL projections have him continuing his numbers.
Anything to see here for the rest of the season? Especially now that Deablo looking to come off IR?
Thanks for any information
 
Seems like a temporary "cheat code" for as long as he starts. The problem/risk is that he'll possibly (or maybe even likely) go from what he's done the last two weeks back down to basically nothing if he doesn't start. So, yeah, if Deablo comes back and takes his old position, beware.

I would feel better about Harrison's long-term prospects if he was exactly that... More of a prospect. But, he's not a rookie, or anything close. He's 28YO and in his 8th season. So, he's been around for a while. That said, he was a relatively high draft pick (early 3rd) from Alabama, so I think he's worth at least keeping an eye on. I don't think he'll suddenly become a 3-year starter (and long-term, MFL would likely change his position if that WERE the case). But, could he help boost my DB scoring for a few weeks THIS year? It's possible.

I grabbed and stashed him where I could (and where it didn't really cost me much/anything to do so). I figure it's worth watching, and if Deablo doesn't play again this week, I'll plug Harrison in with (mostly) confidence. If it doesn't work out, I didn't spend much. And you have to be willing to spend/take a few chances to win, in my opinion, so why not.
 
Deablo practice in full today, but lets not act like Deablo was lighting the world on fire before his injury, he was basically a 40 tackle a yr player anyway.

Looking at the depth chart it looks like Harrison's value is more tied to JD Bertrand as he listed back up to RILB.
Atlanta does have a very weird defense where their #1 LB is really a DE meaning in the past Ellis is usually rushing on passing downs while Deablo or Bertrand dropped back in coverage. Whatever their scheme was with these two, it wasn't working as neither guy made an impact. Bertrand gets hurt, Harrison gets out and starts putting up monster games... also, I know they lost the last 3 but boy does that line get to the QB now. I'm not an expert but I think it would be moronic to take this guy off the field now for either one of those journeymen.

Yes, he 28 and its not going to be a Zack Baun thing; but crossing my fingers for the next few weeks as we make FF playoff pushes Harrison could be a cheat code. I blew a lot of my WW Bucks on getting him and basically landed him in every league. This is a huge deal, this is like being able to start a QB in your WR3 slot... what happened to FBG's IDP community? This should really be covered a lot better.
