KFFL reports that entering training camp, Lions rookie LB will enter as the back-up middle linebacker to Paris Lenon - last season’s starter. After Dizon was drafted in the second round in April, Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said that Dizon would have a shot to start at MLB in 2008, which made his fantasy value jump. Dizon apparently still has some learning and proving to do before that happens.

Keep him in your back pocket for now, and be prepared to take him as a late round sleeper in deep seasonal and keeper IDP drafts in August. Lenon isn’t that great, so Dizon has a serious change to step in and make an impact in 2008. We’ll follow this closely.
