Which LB should I go with?

[omak42]

So Im in a yahoo league that is using IDP and I need to start 2 LBs. I currently have:
J Leman-SD
Brandon Peguese-Phi
Joe Pawelak-Sea

I was looking at getting rid of Joe Pawelak and replacing him with Casey Matthews. Any thoughts on the matter? Also any ideas as to who may step up and be big this year? All the big name LBs are already taken (i.e. James Harrison and Clay Matthews, etc.)

Just saw that Pawelak (Pawelek?) is inactive, so that part of the equation is pretty easily figured out. Didnt realize that before....

Welcome to the Cafe. Here are my rankings for 2001 IDP. Hopefully someone is available on the list.

Thanks, that helped a lot! I was able to pick up a few guys on your list including #3/4 LB. I did have a question for you. I tend to try to stay away from players on my favorite team (Packers) so that Im not biased, but what are your thoughts on Nick Collins and BJ Raji?

I don't know your scoring so make sure you look at what my rankings were based from. Could be very different in valuing players.

Raji is a beast, his problem is that he is a nose. Ends will always outscore interior linemen. Collins is a serviceable DB but just serviceable. I don't think he will crack the top 20. A better football player than a fantasy player.

Pretty standard. My rankings should help you a bit unless I am totoally wrong (certainly can be)
