Hope not yet back as starter: Even though Chris Hope will play his second straight game Week 11 at Atlanta in his return from a forearm injury, he will continue to come off the bench in favor of Jordan Babineaux, who has thrived in his absence this season. Well have Jordan out there with the first group. Well keep rotating (Hope) in, coach Mike Munchak said. (Updated 11/17/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Hope played about 30-35 snaps in his return last week against the Panthers. He didn't have any tackles, but he did have an interception. It's just that Hope has low-end Fantasy appeal while Babineaux cuts into his PT. (Updated 11/17/2011).
Hope kept up the strong tackling in the back of the Tennessee defense last year, racking up 101 total tackles with a sack, five passes defensed and an interception. It's the first time in five years he picked up over 100 total tackles, which hints that he might not do it again in 2011. And if his tackle totals are meandering, then his Fantasy value nosedives because he doesn't do too much else around the ball. Even though he's entering a contract year, keep Hope limited to a No. 3 Fantasy DB on Draft Day. (Updated 5/2/11)
