DT, Darius Philon, Los Angeles Chargers If your league is position specific and requires you to start a defensive tackle, then Philon is worth adding. He has has six tackles, four of which are solo and two sacks, in last two weeks. This is a position in which points are hard to come by, so that type of production should be grabbed up quickly. Even against a matchup like the Raiders this week, he is a solid play. Investment Rating (4)

LB, Blake Martinez, Green Bay Packers Blake has been playing extremely well in a starting role for the Packers and should only get better. Last week vs Cowboys he had twelve tackles with seven of them being solos. He gives you a little of everything, but the tackles (37 total on year) is his bread and butter. He has a string of favorable matchups ahead, starting with the Vikings this week. Investment Rating (3)

CB, Vernon Hargreaves, Tampa Bay Buccaneers This second-year corner is surprisingly still available in a lot of leagues and shouldn’t be. He will have very good matchups the rest of the way, versus teams that are pass heavy or will be forced to pass in catch up mode. That means he’ll have plenty of opportunities to rack up tackles. He has 24 tackles in first four games, with 23 being solo. With that kind of production, anything else he gives you is icing on the cake. Investment Rating (5)

DE, Cameron Jordan, New Orleans Saints The Saints defense has been playing a lot better this year than the previous few and Cameron Jordan has been a big beneficiary of that. Thru the first four games, he has 19 tackles and 3 sacks. He has a decent matchup this week versus the Lions and if Stafford misses, then I like it even better. Investment Rating (4)

LB, Navorro Bowman, Free Agent I gave Bowman the benefit of the doubt about his start to the season. I chalked it up to him having a slower recovery due to him being older and thinking he would come around soon. But five weeks into the season, the writing’s on the wall as the 49ers officially cut him on Friday 13th. I think he will sign with another team and possibly still a chance he will do well. But until that happens, he can be dropped in all redraft leagues. In dynasty leagues or those with deep rosters, you can give him few more weeks. Liquidation Rating (4)

LB, Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers Concussion recoveries always vary from player to player, but it’s concerning when a player has a history of them. Early indications are Luke seemed like his normal self, but sometimes symptoms take a couple days to show up. He’s a top talent when he is healthy and on his game, so he’s worth keeping. If he misses time, then place him on IR or on the bench if you have room. I would monitor him closely over the next week before making any decision on dropping him. Liquidation Rating (2)

DT, Haloti Ngata, Detroit Lions At age 33 and one hell of a career, Haloti is nearing the end. He was placed on injured reserve with a biceps injury, that will cost him rest of season most likely. Even though he isn’t what he once was, he was a viable option at a premium position. He can be dropped in all leagues. Liquidation Rating (5)
