We start two LB's and my current LB's are Ryans, Briggs, Harrison, and Timmons.  Scoring:  2 pts per tackle, 1 pt per assist, 2 pts per tackle for a loss, 3 pts per sack, 1 pt per forced fumble, 2 pts per fumble recovery, 1 pt per pass defensed, and 6 pts per interception.  I got mediocre play from Ryans, Briggs, and Harrison…And, who knows when Timmons will return.

Durant finished in the top 10 this week…Will this happen consistently now that he's the starting MLB?

Cooper is tearing it up against Oakland (7 tackles, a fumble, fumble recovery, and a pass defensed with 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter)!

Harrison is very inconsistent, but still too valuable to drop.  Briggs may be a top 10 LB with the loss of Urlacher at MLB.  I'm considering dropping Timmons for Durant or Cooper…Or, I may drop TE Jemichael Finley (I also have Olson and Celek) to pick up Durant or Cooper.

What do you think?

QB's: Ryan, Palmer RB's: MJD, Charles, Addai, Ronnie Brown, Forsett, J.Davis WR's: VJax, White, MSW, Bowe, Britt TE's: Celek, Olson DL's: Suggs LB's: Mayo, Briggs, Durant, D.Ryans DB: Pollard

It's a long season.  Guys who average 14ppg, like Ryans, have games where you'll get single digit numbers from them.  Happens at every position.  Harrison and Ryans are plug and play guys and Harrison is even more incosistent.  He'll score 25 points one game and 8 pts the next and you could even get a 1 like he put up in week 8 of last year.

Their value is that they will bounce back.  No one is consistent enough to play at a high level every single week.  No one.

Briggs blossomed in 2004 after Urlacher went out 9 games into the season – 100+solos that year and in 2006, over 100 total tackles since '04.

Durant had a nice game, Cooper emerged last year playing at a top ten level after returning from his suspension, and has picked up where he left off.  Either player would be good depth but there are no guarantees.  I'd prefer Cooper but in a dynasty Durants youth would be attractive.

I'd stay put for now, I believe you are looking at lateral moves and if you let one game influence you too much, you could regret it.

If this is a redraft it matters less, but the moves are still lateral. m/o.

my opinion, package Harrison and an offensive player for a decent offensive upgrade, and pick up Durant and/or Cooper.

I think guys like Harrison and Ware are simply not consistent enough. Not that all LBs are consistent, but a rush OLB, even an insanely dominant one like Harrison, can be maddening because their tackle #s aren't quite up there.  I also think Harrison's trade value will be off the charts.
