LB Outlook: Kiser vs Johnson

I'm looking for a LB3 between Micah Kiser (LAR) and AJ Johnson (DEN).  My league starts 2 LB and has an IDP flex as well.  Points are pretty standard.

I like both of these guys as under the radar options on teams with a strong DL that will give them freedom to operate.  They are both replacing guys who put up good numbers last year.  And it appears as though both are 3 down backers.

I'm leaning towards Kiser because he seems to be the more athletic of the 2.  I think that may give him more options in coverage like PD, INT and tackles.

What do you think?

I'd go Johnson. He was productive last year and graded out as a top 5 LB by PFF. The team trusts him enough to run the defense that they cut Todd Davis. I like Kiser as well but he has more question marks around him and is more unproven.

I'm rolling with Kiser to start the season but I've got Jayon Brown on speed dial in case Kiser, Shaq Thompson or Bush don't live up.
