Can Shonn Greene keep it going against the Eagles?

The Jets running back might finally be living up to expectations

Oh, Shonn Greene are you teasing us or is this for real?

The New York Jets’ running back has certainly paid off for those of us who waited all season for him to do just that. He has three straight double-digit weeks for the first time this season and now faces a Philadephia Eagles defense that is ranked 18th against the run at 115.1 yards per game. However, the Eagles have given up the eighth-most rushing yards to RBs the last three weeks (355).

Tim Tebow Will Probably Beat Tired Jets

Tim Tebow will be 4–1 as starter; Rex Ryan's Jets will lose twice in five days.

Tim Tebow’s Superman success collides with the wrath of Rex Ryan in a Thursday night fight between the Denver Broncos and New York Jets under the lights at Mile High.

And this comical clash of the titans will certainly end in life or death soap opera hysterics, regardless of the outcome.

It's Finally time to sit Tim Tebow vs. Jets on Thursday night

Tim Tebow has been a worthwhile fantasy start. But not this week.

I’ve told you before, don’t watch Tim Tebow play if he’s on your fantasy team; just look at the box score after the game and be satisfied.

The Denver Broncos’ quarterback continues to produce as a fantasy QB and a reality QB. Tebow is 3-1 as a starter and has fantasy games of 22.34, 14.18, 24.76 and 17.06 in Athlon’s scoring format where it’s six points for all touchdowns.

Santonio Holmes Is This Year's Biggest Wide Receiver Bust

The New York Jets wide receiver has been rough on owners in 2011

There are busts all over the fantasy landscape this season.

Count New York Jets No. 1 Santonio Holmes as one of the top busts at the receiver position. Through seven games, he has 22 catches for 311 yards and three scores. Holmes is the 52nd-ranked receiver in points per game. And only his three touchdowns are even keeping him ranked that high.
