Thanks always for the great suggestions! I could start 4 LBs in my league and followings are my LB rosters.

J Beason (Car), J Anderson (Car), D Ryan (Hou), S Weatherspoon (Atl), R McCalin (Oak).

I plan to drop McClain for AJ Hawk or Q Black this week from waiver wire. Another move that I plan to make is trade J Beaon for LB3 type player for following reasons.

1. Ever since J Beason moves from his old position last year, he has never been productive. Plus, I have J Anderson who is more productive and shares the same by week.
2. I have an trade offer of Brooking for Beason. Beason is definitely far better player than Brooking, but Brooking is having a nice season as you mentioned in your recent article.

Would you do this deal or play with one bye week player in week 6? Once concern for Brooking is that he has not been good for pass coverage. Following is from the Yahoo news and notes:

Sep 27 Brooking had a nice IDP game Sunday, collecting nine tackles and adding a sack.
Recommendation: He also got credit for a defended pass. Brooking has looked shaky in coverage so far this season though and the Cowboys could use their Week 4 bye to find a replacement for him in the nickel package, which might limit Brooking's value going forward.

I am sure he will have a monster number this week against CJ2K, but wonder he will be better option going forward than J Beason.
