First off, he is listed as a DL in Sportsline leagues. I think that this classification makes him far more worthy of a look than in leagues where he is an LB. Also, my league rewards highly for sacks, so I'm looking at this from that point of view. That being said...
Laboy is a dynamic player, without a doubt. He had great "big play" numbers in a game where SF only had the ball 22 minutes, and only had 24 pass attempts.
Why wouldn't he put up similar numbers against a team that had 43 pass attempts last week and has a young offensive line that gave up 4 sacks in week one? Well, if the Dolphins have adopted a pass first mentality then these numbers set the stage for a huge game again for Laboy. Of course, it's more likely that the Phins drop their pass attempts, but how low could they go? 24 attempts seems like an absolute floor.
My biggest concern is the depth at the position, as Laboy is sharing snaps with Berry. And maybe I'm getting too carried away away by a defensive player's performance against a Mike Martz offense which is usually known for getting the QB killed. Kind of like selling the farm for Forte after he shredded the Colts run D.
Worth a play this week?
