Should I drop one for Derek Wolfe?

Derek Wolfe is available on the waiver wire.  Should I drop Dont’a Hightower or Jerry Hughes and pick up Wolfe?  If so, who should I drop and why?

Jerry Hughes looked great for the Colts in the preseason.  Do you think he could be a deep sleeper?

As you can see, my scoring system is quite sack heavy.


Scoring:
Sacks - 4.5
INTs - 8
FF - 5
Def TDs - 25
Pas Def - 2
Solos - .6
Assists - .3
Tackles Loss - 2

Thanks in advance,

I just don't see Hughes getting enough playing time to be a fantasy starter. He's not going to unseat Freeney or Mathis this season. Wolfe isn't likely to register more than 6 or 7 sacks. Much of this answer depends on how you are currently using Hughes/Hightower. Are they classified as DLs/LBs? Are you looking to fill a DL, LB, or general IDP flex spot?

I plan to use them as an IDP flex spot.  The same would be for Wolfe if I picked him up.  I guess my decision kind of weigh on whether to drop Hughes for Wolfe.  Since you mentioned Hughes may not see as much playing time behind Freeney and Mathis, I guess my best bet is to drop him and pickup Wolfe.  Do you agree?

I'd drop Hughes for Wolfe.
