Vilma's exclusion was a database error, which will be fixed. Sorry for the confusion.

Vilma was held off of the list this week? I know he hasn't produced yet this year but going against the run attack of Miami, I would think he would be at least a Tier 4

what in the world has happened to karlos 'contract year' dansby? 6th best LB last year, and he should be motivated as hell. Are his TOPs just too low this year? Is the new DC scheming him differently? For a franchise player I need more!
