What to do with Ayers & McCarthy and what about TJ Ward?

I've got DJ smith, Ayers, Burfict, Angerer, and McCarthy, and 3 spots to play a LB.
I had to bench Angerer and McCarthy yesterday, but Ayers sure didnt produce with McCarthy rotating in so much.

Is Ayers the weak link here and ok to drop?
McCarthy should do better than Ayers if he gets enough playing time.
If Angerer and McCarthy would play to potential, then I could just keep DJ Smith and have a decent lineup.  However, my defense is losing me games...it seems that no one is producing all that much (smith was my only IDP that helped me yesterday).

As for TJ Ward, Should I stick with him or drop him in light of his injury (Lee did poorly for a bit last year while playing with a cast)?
Babs is on the wire (tho I also have Verner, which makes me hugely Tennessee dependant), as is Mark Barron of TB and Giordano (OAK).

Thanks Ryan!

I think Ayers will drop down to a LB4+ now that McCarthy is back. He's the weak link of your LB core.

I'd drop Ward for Barron.
