D Smith & D Ellerbe

Daryl Smith and Dannell Ellerbe underwhelmed in this first game.  We play in a 12 team league that allows five defensive players. There are some good options on the waiver wire, but they will not last long in our league.  

Were Daryl Smith and Dannell Ellerbe performances related to simply opportunity or are they performance related?  

Combination of both. I think they will still be viable LB2-/LB3+, but not elite or high upside LB2s.
