Ask the magic 8 ball or flip a coin. Mathis is probably who I would go with due to tackles.

It's nearly impossible to bench Freeney in most scoring systems, but I'd probably start Mathis over Freeney in Week 6.Mathis vs Alex Barron 
Freeney vs Orlando Pace

Mathis has outscored Freeney 4 out of 5 weeks in my scoring system. I dont know if that is going to happen every week but this is looking more and more like a trend as the weeks go by. Mathis has too much speed for any OL to stop him one on one all game. But there is no way that teams are going to be able to double him and leave Freeney all alone. That would be suicide. Mathis is in for one hell of a year with Freeney getting as much attention as he does.

Mathis is benefitting not only from Freeney but from improvement in the interior of the DL. I'd say Mathis because if the Rams keep someone in to help it will be on Freeney first. Also, Mathis plays on special teams so he can get some special teams tackles.

It's always important to figure out who the T in front of the DL will be when choosing your starting DL.The Rams have typically been weaker on the left side versus the right. Young in week 1, Okeafor in week 2, Odom/VandenBosch in week 3, and Strahan in week 4 put up the best numbers and they all line up on the left. 3 players on the left side (Hill, Darby, Terrill) registered at least a half sack last week (although they didn't put up monster numbers).

I'm assuming you're referencing last year's game where Freeney owned Odgen. Freeney's display was impressive. With that being said, Ogden is no Pace...not anymore. Ogden used to be the premier LT in football. Now, the Ravens are pondering the idea of moving Odgen to RT. Heck, Ogden has even hinted of retiring at season's end. Freeney's game from last year may have been one of the legs on this chair.and what would you give Freeney vs Johnathan Ogden ???Freeney vs Orlando Pace
When watching the game, Freeney was destroying Ogden. Just didn't get the stats to show it.Freeney on week #1 vs Ravens: 3 tackles, no sack, no INT, no nothing. I am not sure what you are trying to say.and what would you give Freeney vs Johnathan Ogden ???Freeney vs Orlando Pace

Interesting that Freeney is #1 DL in cheets and EOTG despite the matchup. He's too likely to put up lay an egg, particularly with that matchup, I'm benching him for Rod Coleman.It's nearly impossible to bench Freeney in most scoring systems, but I'd probably start Mathis over Freeney in Week 6.

Other than forcing Pace into a few false starts, Freeney was essentially neutralized by Pace. On rare occassions, Freeney was blocked using a TE. The result?? A forced fumble on Steven Jackson.Mathis had a great day, both against Barron and on special teams. He had six solos, one sack, and one forced fumble.
