Kirk Morrison

I made a lot of move this week, by trading J Anderson for Tulloch and picking up Session and McRath from the wire. I just noticed that Kirk Morrison was dropped this week after a huge disappointing season. However, he has a great match up Monday night against CJ2K. Following is my current LB line up and I need to start 4 LBs each week.

J Beason (Bye), Tulloch (vs Jax), Session (vs Was), D Ryan (vs Chief although he has Q mark), R McClain (vs SF), McRath (vs Jax).

McRath could be better long term investment, but wonder whether Morrison could back to his old form. I am thinking of dropping McRath for Morrison and starting Morrison over R McClain for this week only. What do you think?

With Durant injured, Morrison may continue to be a three-down linebacker and he's got a great matchup against the Titans this week. I would drop McRath for Morrison since you can probably pick up McRath again next week.

How about keeping Morrison over McRath for the rest of the season? Since  I have Tulloch, I may not keep two LBs in the same team for the bye week and a bad match up issues unless you think that McRath could be a nice handcuff for Tulloch just in case Tulloch is injured.

It's tough to say. McRath's value is dependent on if he had leapfrog Witherspoon for nickel duties since he currently is sitting in those subpackages. I would say Morrison has slightly better value over the course of the rest of the year even though he may not always play in the nickel either.

The report says that Durant finally practiced and will be back this week. Will this change your suggestion?

No, not really. I still think there's enough opportunity here for Morrison to put up solid numbers.
