(1) Forum Discussion

LB

Chris Draft STL – Draft will take over the WLB slot with Pisa Tinoisamoa went down with a torn MCL. Draft had a career year in 2006 with Carolina as the starter for most of the season. He is not a huge playmaker, but he can put up decent tackle numbers. If you need help going into the playoffs you could do a lot worse.

Joey Porter MIA – Porter had a very slow start this year, but in the last 3 weeks he has become a viable fantasy option. He has 18 solo tackles, 3 assists, an interception, ½ sack and 2 passes defensed. With games against the Jets and Bills next, he should be able to put up some respectable fantasy stats.

Antwan Barnes BAL - Barnes will take over the OLB position for the Ravens for at least 1 game, but probably more, as starter Jarret Johnson fractured his thumb on Sunday. The Ravens play NE in week 13, so Barnes will most likely have limited fantasy stats, but if your league scores heavily for sacks, he may be worth the risk.

Pierre Woods NEP – Roosevelt Colvin hurt his arm (or leg, depending on who you believe) in week 12’s game and may not play in week 13. Woods should move into the position and would make a decent LB3 start against Baltimore.

DB

Nick Collins GBP – Collins returned to practice this week after missing the last 3 games with an injury. If he was dropped in your league, he makes for a nice pickup for the playoffs. Green bay faces Dallas in week 13, but then gets Oakland, St Louis and Chicago in what would be most leagues’ playoff weeks.

Antrel Rolle ARI – Rolle should get the start against Cleveland in week 12 as current starter Eric Green left the game with a groin injury and is Questionable for week 13. Rolle made a lot of headlines in week 11 when he intercepted 3 passes and returned them all for touchdowns, even though one of them was recalled due to penalty. Funny thing is the league has already said the penalty was in error and the TD should have stood. He should get plenty of opportunities against Cleveland.

Oliver Celestin ARI – Another key injury to Arizona’s defense was the loss of SS Adrian Wilson for possibly the rest of the season with his recurring heel/Achilles injury. Celestin has not had much playing time this season, but did record 6 tackles against San Francisco in week 12. As with Rolle above, he should get tested quite often against Cleveland in week 13.

Pierson Prioleau WAS – Players always want a chance to get on the field, but no one is happy when it is because of a situation the likes of which befell Sean Taylor this week. He faces Buffalo, Chicago and the Giants in the next 3 weeks and should plenty of chances.

DL

Ryan Denney BUF – Denney should get the start in week 13 as starter Chris Kelsay injured his ankle in week 12 and will most likely not play in week 13.  While Denney is no Kelsay, he did record 9 sacks in the previous two seasons. Plug him in if you need the help.

Greg White TBB – White is coming off two weeks where he recorded 3 sacks along with 6 tackles, 4 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He has been getting more playing time with all the injuries to the d-line in Tampa. He faces a New Orleans team in week 13 that has allowed the league’s best of only 8 sacks, but if you make your league’s playoffs, then he gets to face Atlanta and San Francisco in week’s 15 and 16. Atlanta and San Fran are ranked 29th and 30th respectively in sacks allowed.

Chris Clemons OAK – Clemons has started to get increased reps in the last 3 weeks and has responded with 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 8 tackles in those 3 games. He faces the Broncos in week 13 that have allowed 20 sacks on the season.
