Fantasy Analysis
Laurinaitis doesn't help much in other categories, but few linebackers can offer tackles in such quantities on a consistent basis. He will go into next season as one of the top LB options for owners in IDP formats. (Updated 01/01/2012).
James Laurinaitis will look to continue to play well in his third season after two standout campaigns to begin his career. Laurinaitis heads into 2011 with 234 total tackles (205 solo) in his career with five sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. He is a solid No. 2 LB in IDP leagues, and he's worth drafting with a mid-round pick. We'd like
to see more turnovers and sacks from Laurinaitis, but his tackle totals are what makes him attractive to Fantasy owners. (Updated 5/2/11)
