Yeah, good mention on Thomas Davis. He's unreal. Bowman... I'm not sold on him sticking around.

On bowman I was referring to the playoff knee injury, conference championship against the seahawks that caused him to miss all of 2014. I am not sold on him coming back from this 2nd one either but after the first he still showed he could play

I own Jaylon Smith, picked him as a luxury pick in the 4th round last year with hope he would recover and be a top tier prospect. It does not appear from those who watched a lot of ND Football that he is close to the speed, quickness and tenacity he was before the injury.
I am in a 10-team dynasty league, and have three top 10 LBs and 5-6 top 20 based on different rankings. I realize that next year's crop of LBs will yield as good a player smith "may" be next year at this time. My roster space is invaluable, and I'd rather keep a high upside RB or WR like D'Angelo Henderson, Kenny Gooloday, Mack Hoillins or Kareem Hunt with hopes they can bust out tan wait on a player I can easily replace or do not need to win this year.

Personally, I am torn because I love the player, his story and his character as a man. I really hope he realizes his potential but he's just not in the cards for me this year. I'll be dropping him at cuts barring a significant injury to a starter in the next two weeks.

I feel if you have space it is worth the keep but I would agree, in a 10 team league where it is between henderson, golloday, and him, assuming you are already set at LB, I could see leaning towards them. It is a tough situation because he right now isnt up to speed but also has played a total of 12 snaps of live action so I don't expect him to be. If he came back and was instantly at top speed again I would likely be worshiping him as a god of football. I think he does have the potential to enter that top 5 discussion and be there for quite a while but there is real risk and hitting on a starting running back or wide receiver in a lot of shallow leagues is more valuable than a top 5 linebacker

Week 1: 4 solo, 3 assist, and a Forced Fumble. Happy to see him on the field and productive!

He looked good!

Happy I have him stashed.

Will be curious to see what he does without the snap count.
