Jurrell Casey - Position move?

[quietloudness]

So I have read that Casey has lost weight in an effort to switch outside on the defensive line. I am thinking this will probably change his position from DT to DL/DE. In leagues that require a DT, that could potentially have a serious impact.

Anyone know for sure what is going on here?

Still conflicting reports but as a Titans fan I would fully expect him to play end. They have a couple big body guys for Nose Tackle now. I would be shock in Casey plays NT.

I give it about a 95% chance for Casey to primarily play the 5-tech. However, I think its only 50% chance they team team changes his position designation.

If you play on MFL, he changed last night.

Bunch of malarkey...titans official website lists him as a DT. I know MFL uses Rotoworld, but rotoworld should be using official outlets.

You are still looking at a high end DE2.

May very well be right, but in leagues that have DT as a requirement, that hurts.

That sucks...in my startup several months ago, I drafted Casey to be my long term DT. Minutes after drafting him, I was approached by a Titan fan in my league about him. Long story short, I traded Casey for his next pick (a couple picks after Casey) and a late pick. I ended up getting Brockers. He ended up getting shafted (if this position change becomes official on other sites).

Moral of the story?

...

I dunno.
