If you didn't have to sacrifice Pollard, I would bench Umenyiora and pickup Thomas especially since this scoring system is quite tackle heavy. The Cowboys have only given up 7 sacks all year and 6 of those sacks came in one game. So the likelihood of Umenyiora getting a sack this week is lower than usual. Plus, Umenyiora is not a solid tackle producer.

Pollard is obviously a DB1 and you would more than likely lose him if you cut him lose. You know your waiver wire and owners better than I do and what position you currently are in. If your desperate for a win, I think Thomas gives you the better chance, but corners can be a bit iffy sometimes in their own right. But he has a good matchup as the Cowboys through a lot and his production has been solid every week. I would expect at least 5-7 points out of him. Not sure that you get that with Umenyiora.

Tough decision.
