Linebackers
James Burgess Jr (NYJ): C.J. Mosely is shelved for the season and since Week 9, Burgess has logged double digits in every contest. He's racked up 26 solos (half of those coming in the past two weeks) and has stuffed the stat sheet with other plays as well. Mosley's signed long-term so there isn't huge potential here, but there might be a battle between Burgess and Blake Cashman come training camp. If you're looking to add an LB2 for the fantasy playoffs that might pan out in 2020 and beyond, Burgess should be your first look.
Donald Payne (JAC): If the Jags shut Myles Jack down for the season, Payne could put up outstanding numbers for the rest of the season. We have no idea what Telvin Smith Sr's future is, so there could be a hole at one of the productive LB spots next year. Quincy Williams has been impressive in spots, but so has Payne. A good dice roll that could pan out for the fantasy playoffs and the future if Smith stays away and Williams doesn't impress in camp.
