Jerrell Freeman

I see that you continue to rank Jerrell Freeman high despite his numbers.  Since coming back from injury, he has posted rather mediocre stats.  I have had had him in the starting lineup, but am inclined to move him to my bench.

What are you seeing in Freeman to rank him as the #15 LB? Same thing with Jelani Jenkins at #20? Other lowe ranked LBs have been putting up better numbers more consistently.

I have Jenkins at 24 and really all players in that range can be lumped into a similar value tier. Jenkins still plays every down and has a couple big games so far this year. His numbers have been hurt with the return of Misi and, more importantly, Jones but he's also seen below average rush attempts. So his numbers should bounce back just not to the degree people were expecting a couple weeks ago when he exploded.

Freeman is high for me this week as the Steelers are a top 6 matchup. I think he's the superior player over Jackson and with Landry out, someone has to make the tackles.

thanks.  thats helpful. i have had both of them in my starting lineup for the past few weeks and have been disappointed in the rather pedestrian numbers.
