Su'a Cravens

Cravens is qualified as LB/S in my league and currently available in the wire. He has been good over the pre-season. Safties in my team are HaHa clintondix and Ibrahaeim Campbell. Is it good idea to drop Campbell for Cravens? This is tackle heavy league over big plays. I can drop the kicker for Cravens as we have no idea how regular season fans out for those safeties and Campbell himself is a sleeper this year. I can play without a kicker in week 1. Bottom line is whether Cravens merits an extra consideration for the safety spot in tackle heavy league over other safeties.

I wouldn't drop Campbell for Cravens. I honestly don't know how much playing time Cravens will get to start the year. Campbell has been solid in the preseason and he is going to get a lot of opportunity on that defense.

News out of Washington papers the past couple days has the Redskins def coordinator stating he wants Cravens to be a playmaker in week 1.  I have D. Buchannon and B. Jones starting at DB with Cravens on my bench. Should I start Cravens and bench Jones and see what happens? I can't help but feel like he should see the field a decent amount vs the Steelers

Yeah, I would. I'm not that high on Jones fantasy-wise as the Cowboys really struggle to generate turnovers and that's really going to be his main way of generating fantasy points.

Thank you, forgot to mention that scoring is big play heavy in my league, so that was another reason I was leaning toward Cravens. Hopefully he sees enough time on the field to make an impact.

I've been watching Cravens and considered drafting him, but unfortunately he only holds the LB position in NFL.com so I have stayed away as it seems like there are better LB options available. In fact the depth charts I see have him playing LB BEHIND Compton and Foster, but if you can get him in a S or DB slot, I would go for him.

It's nice in the yahoo league, they have him as LB/S, same for Buchannon. I'm thinking he will come in for sub packages and should see the field a decent amount vs Pittsburgh.
