Cushing vs. Roach

Hi there.

Two of my 3 LBs for this week are set (Kuechly and DButler), but I'm torn between Cushing and Roach for my third.  Your rankings have them in that order, but Cushing is listed as a bad matchup while Roach is a sleeper.  Any additional insight as to which you think would be a better start for Week 2?

Thanks!

I think although Cushing has a bad matchup, his upside is higher. I'm a big fan and think he can put up LB1-type numbers throughout the course of the season. Roach is a decent player, but not elite.

Whew! With 9 tackles and 2 sacks by halftime, you are spot on yet again.  Thanks for the great advice!

Yeah I'm happy he had me starting DL M. Williams since I was about to not, I have Cushing and Williams, both had monster 1st half performances.

And Roach?

What happened to him? I didn't see his name on any injury reports and played him on 4 of my teams earning ZERO pts?

Is her out/hurt????

I explain this in my WW article this week.
