Bartu tallied 83 tackles, one sack and two fumble recoveries in 2014. | ||||||
Bartu's 2014 numbers were eerily similar to his 2013 campaign. In 2013 he recorded 85 tackles and 3.5 sacks, so he's been a consistent producer in his first two years in the league. Look for him to improve in his third year in 2015. | ||||||

Bartu notched nine total tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. | ||||||
Another solid game for Bartu, who is up to 19 total tackles on the year. He'd probably have more if he wasn't playing next to the league leader in tackles in Paul Worrilow. The linebackers will continue to rack up tackles and should be rostered in leagues that reward players for tackles. | ||||||

Bartu tallied 10 total tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in overtime to set up a game winning field goal to knock off the Saints in Week 1. | ||||||
Bartu should continue to see plenty of tackle opportunities going forward. His biggest issue may be teammate Paul Worrilow getting to the ballcarrier first. | ||||||

Bartu appears to be the leading candidate to win the starting middle linebacker position vacated by the injured Sean Weatherspoon, who was lost for the season with an Achilles injury, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. | ||||||
Bartu is currently running with the starters while Tim Dobbins and Prince Shembo work with the second-team. There are plenty of tackles to be had for whoever wins the starting middle linebacker role next to Paul Worrilow, so IDP owners should keep a close eye on this competition. It appears to be Bartu's job to lose at this point. | ||||||
