Who should I start this week?

Hello Guru,

I need some expert advice on who I should start this week based on match-ups.

Scoring:
Tackle (solo) - 1; Tackle (assist) - 0.5; Sack - 2.5; Int - 2.5; FF - 1.5; PDef - 2

Need to start 3 LBs:  Timmons @ Bal, Hawthorne* @ SF, Barnett @ KC, Thomas Davis @ Ari, or Elvis Dumervil vs. Oak

Need to start 2 DL:  Trent Cole @ STL, Justin Tuck* @ Was, Chris Long vs. Phi, or Elvis Dumervil vs. Oak

Need to start 1 DB:  Eric Berry vs. Buf or George Wilson @ KC

Note:  Elvis Dumervil is listed as both a LB & DE

* Hawthorne is probable w/knee injury and Tuck is questionable w/neck injury


Another League:
I'm also in a Big Play IDP league where the scoring is:  Sack - 4.5; FF - 5; FR - 8; Tackles Loss - 2; Solos - .6; Assist - .3
I was thinking about starting Aldon Smith since it seems like he will be seeing a lot of playing time and has big play ability.  If so, who should I replace him with.

Need to start 3 DL:  Charles Johnson @ Ari;  James Hall vs. Phi; Calais Campbell vs. Car; or Aldon Smith vs. Sea


Thanks in advance,

T. Watts

Start:

Timmons, Hawthorne, Barnett, Cole, Dumervil, and Wilson.

Start:

Start Smith and bench James Hall.

I agree again with Guru. I think you're very lucky to have Aldon Smith listed as a DE. Anytime you have a OLB with D-lined eligibility, you have an advantage because of the increased tackle opportunities.
