Burfict and other LBs

Not sure how long I can keep Burfict as we have short benches. Is it time to cut bait? What would you do with him in this situation?

We generally start 2LBs
Currently have: (bye wks)
Burfict (wk4), Collins(wk10) and Jenkins (wk5)

On waivers:
Laurinaitis(wk4), Foote (wk4)
I wont be able to keep Burfict and one of these after this week, but am willing to do it for the week and swap one after the week; it may get sorted out by INJ.

Same as if I pick up Lamur for Collins, which is how I'm leaning.

FAs:
Rey(wk4), Lamur (wk4), JMJ (wk6), Brinkley(wk10), Riley(wk10), Robinson(wk10), Bartu(wk9), Bowman(wk8)

If I can hold Burfict through wk4, would i be better off holding Bowman, week 4 (byenado!) is my only tough bye week although Wk9 has the potential to be as well. And I kind of think there will be a mad dash for Bowman after wk4.

would really appreciate some insight.

Thanks!

Re: Burfict and other LBs

I think Burfict has just as much value when healthy as Bowman. That said, I think Burfict will wind up missing this weeks game and probably not return to the field until Week 5 at the earliest. I'd pick up James L. against the Boys (I expect a lot of rushing attempts) and then you can pick someone else up for him to cover his bye week the following week.
