Ruud

Not sure what's going on with Ruud the last few games.  He's an every down linebacker, but posting poor results.
Is he worth dropping for:
Maualuga
McClain
Lance Briggs
Durant
Anthony Spencer
or Kavell Conner
??

I saw a quick blurb on Rotoworld Sunday that Ruud had injured his hand, but they erased it later....

Briggs is the only one I'd consider making the move for.

Briggs got picked up

I dropped Ruud anyway...thinking about Maualuga....

I also have Ruud.  I'm gonna give him 1 more week.  It's hard to ignore all the upside: every down MLB, sub-par offense (more tackle opportunities), and proven track record as a tackle beast, not to mention he has had one great week this year.  I think if he goes 3 weeks with meager lines then it's time to downgrade him. Just my opinion.    

Yes, I'd like to give Ruud the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone have any input on Maualuga?

Maualuga has underperformed a bit from my preseason expectations. His matchup against the Bills is a decent one. McClain's matchup is an intriguing one. His statline has improved the last couple of weeks but his on-the-field play hasn't been extraordinary. Ruud has been the unfortunate recipient of low tackle opp the last two weeks. His matchup against the Browns this week is supbar and I'm not expecting a big day.
