Barry Cofield

What is going on? This is the second week in a row where he has failed to record a tackle. Up until two weeks ago he was having a pretty solid year for a DT. Is he hurt? Is he no longer starting? Or has he just decided to start sucking?
 
Looking on the bright side of things, he did get me a couple points for a blocked kick :-(

I thinks its a combination of things. DTs tend to wear down the further into the season they get. Plus, he's not a great fantasy lineman to begin with. I'm sure there's a better option on the waiver wire in most leagues at this point.

Unfortunately, I'm in a 12-team dynasty league and each team rosters 53 players. As a result, there really is not much available on the waiver wire. Cofield was a great pick up for me b/c until his current streak without a tackle, he was ranked in the top 10 for DTs in terms of points. I do have Colin Cole as my other DT. Here's what's available on the wire:

Just took a look at the most recent rankings for DTs in my league and even with his last two weeks of no productivity, Cofield is ranked 7th overall with 72.300 points and Colin Cole is ranked 11th with 66.000 points.

Yah, in a deep league like yours there isn't a whole lot of maneuverability. You just have to stick with Cofield and hope he pans out.
