I'd go with McCarthy against the Jags. He's been beasting and that is usually a fantastic matchup as the Jags run more than any other team.

I also have on my bench Bishop but he is coming off of injury and if he does play not sure how much he will play.  

Another player available is Buf Barnett vs Denver.

So between McCarthy, Barnett, Anger and Greenway who do you feel will get the most tackles and have some upside in either a sack or an interception?

This is for the championship.  Thanks again for all your advice.

Re: Urgent week 16 LB advice needed

Not to dispute McCarthy but the last 2 weeks he has posted poor tackle numbers.  Week 15 and 16 only 3 and 4 fantasy points

And week #1 vs Jax he only obtained 1.5 fantasy points.  I want to play him but am a bit scared as  need high tackle numbers.  Your thoughts?  Thanks again.

Re: Urgent week 16 LB advice needed

It's SUPER unfair to even count McCarthy's Week 1 performance. He wasn't even the starter! He didn't start seeing starter snaps until Week 10 when Barrett Ruud went down with an injury. Since then he's amassed 51 total tackles, 6.5 Tackles for Loss, 2 FRs, 2 FFs, and an interception. The last two weeks his tackles numbers were a bit down since he has horrible matchups against the Saints and Colts. The Jaguars matchup is one of the best. For example, in Week 1 when the Titans played the Jags, mediocre fantasy LB, Barrett Ruud had 14 tackles. I expect similar production from McCarthy who is a much better linebacker.
