Wouldn't be worried about your DBs as much as I would be about your LBs.

I think you have it listed backwards some how, you start 2LB and 2DL, but yet you only have 1 true LB.

What I would do it dump Jason Pierre Paul for a true LB. Roll Dumerville and Suggs out at DL, keep Tulloch at one LB slot, love Berry at DB and Tillman is a nice compliment.

Again post your available LBs

Not much to work with Linebacker Wise. Let me know.....

Sorry Didnt understand this part "Roll Dumerville and Suggs out at DL"

D.J. Williams
A.J. Hawk
Lamar Woodley
Brian Cushing
Desmond Bishop
Von Miller
David Harris

You serious? There are 4-5 guys there that could start as a LB2 on any roster.

What I would do, add DJ Williams NOW, yes hes injured and probably out this week, but he will be a monster for you all year. Dump JPP and add Williams. Then to cover for at least this week, if not going forward I would dump Dunlap and Brian Cushing to start this week. Of your choices at LB going forward I rank them:

Tulloch
Williams
Cushing
Bishop
Dansby
Harris
Woodley
Miller
Hawk

Remember Cushing is a guy who recorded 134 total tackles (87solo) his rookie year, before being suspended for the first 4-5 games last year. He was on pace to clip triple digit tackles again last year also, given a full year he would have been somewhere around 105-110. If it were mean I would roll out Tulloch and Cushing this week, then roll with Tulloch and Williams from week 2 on and never have to worry about your LB slot.

Dansby is severely overrated in Miami and hasn't really lived up to projections. He has name value, but not true fantasy value. Like I say there are at least 2 if not 3 LBs on your FA list that would help your squad more then he would. Bishop is lost on that GB defense in terms of names, but he should lead the pack in tackles this year. Not to mention not only does he tackle everything in sight, but hes a 3 way LB, thats why in the Barnett/Hawk days he was kept around. He rushes the passer at an elite level for a LB, and also drops back into coverage, thus recording PDs and possibly even and INT or 2.

From week 2 on what I would roll with on my roster would be Tulloch-LB1, roster Williams and Cushing and rotate them depending on matchup.

Awesome man great Feedback. Really appreciate it!!

Problem is Suggs isnt eligable to play DL? So now I would have Cushing, Suggs, and D.J. Williams at LB with noody at DL.

DL's available:

Shaun Ellis
Chris Long
Matt Roth
Willaim Hayes
