News: The Cardinals released linebacker Jamaal Westerman Wednesday.
Analysis: Westerman was just defensive depth for Arizona and had no Fantasy appeal.
News: The Dolphins continued trimming their roster in preparation for the regular season and released the following players: wide receivers Roberto Wallace, Clyde Gates and B.J. Cunningham; linebackers Gary Guyton and Jamaal Westerman; and defensive lineman Ryan Baker.
Analysis: At a sturdy 6-foot-4, Wallace has the build to make an impact in the NFL, but struggles to find separation from defenders and was limited to just five catches for 82 yards in the preseason. Gates, considered the fastest player on the Miami roster, struggled with a hamstring issue early in training camp and has failed to live up to potential. Neither of these players are expected to make a Fantasy splash and should be left on waivers.

News: Jets LB Jamaal Westerman recorded a sack of Redskins QB Rex Grossman in the Week 13 win at Washington. Westerman registered five total tackles in the game to go with his sack. He had two tackles for a loss.
Analysis: Westerman now has 3 1/2 sacks on the season for the Jets heading into Week 14 against Kansas City. Westerman's sack totals aren't enough to make up for his 23 total tackles to this point. Westerman is just a low-end Fantasy option in IDP formats.
News: Jets LB Jamaal Westerman collected his first two sacks of the season during Week 5 against the Patriots. He finished with five total tackles in the contest, three solo and also credited with two for a loss.
Analysis: Westermann is a reserve LB, who usually only sees a few snaps a game. He usually doesn't produce the way he did this last week, so he can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues heading into Week 6.
News: The Jets have listed the following player as inactive for Week 5 on Monday night at Miami: 3rd QB Kevin O'Connell, CB Lito Sheppard, CB Donald Strickland, CB Ahmad Carroll, LB Jamaal Westerman and DL Ropati Pitoitua.
Analysis: Sheppard doesn't have any Fantasy value and is not a recommended option in IDP formats. The rest of the players listed above have basically no Fantasy value as well. Leave them all on waivers Week 5.
