J Babineaux

Still in a battle, and lining up in a slot package, would you pick up a Taylor Mays or Zbikowski as safer , and more tackle opportunity options,( 2 starters w/ more snaps) Thanks, Johnson and babs ,both in a rotation. Taking a wait and see approach, but those are ss on the wire in my league ( 4th options, i also have chancellor, branch and barron. starting those 3 until byes.)

id like some more input on him as well because a lot of people and other sites seem to be really high on him and McCarthy is going to control the middle of the field which should hurt his value

Babineaux is a mediocre talent in a fantastic situation. Yes, McCarthy is going to dominate the middle, but Stephen Tulloch dominated the middle back in 2010 (150+ total tackles) and Chris Hope still put up 87 solos.

Babs put up 72 solos last year and missed about 200 snaps due to sharing time with Chris Hope. Now that Hope's gone, Babineaux should be in line for a significant increase in snaps (assuming he can with the job over Robert Johnson) and therefore I think 80+ solos is a reasonable expectation especially considering the Titans outside linebackers aren't blowing up the tackle columns ahead of him.
