The Jets fell woefully short in a statement game against the Patriots, while Tim Tebow somehow squeaked out another win despite completing only two passes.
 
Mark Sanchez is getting ripped in New York, with critics saying he has regressed. But from a Fantasy perspective he was excellent against New England, throwing for 306 yards and a TD and rushing for a score. That production more than offset the two picks he threw. The running game was just OK at best, though, with Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson combining for 98 yards on 20 carries. Tomlinson will be out with a sprained MCL he suffered during trash time. Santonio Holmes led the way with 93 yards on 6 receptions but Plaxico Burress scored yet again to go with his 3 receptions for 39 yards. It was his fourth TD in his last three games.
 
OK. If you still aren’t convinced that Tim Tebow is a Fantasy stud, then there’s probably no convincing you. On a day where he went a ridiculous 2-for-8 passing for 69 yards, he still managed 13 points in a conventional scoring league thanks to his TD pass, 43 yards rushing and rushing TD. He could just as easily have a disaster like he did against Detroit, but unless your other quarterback is named Rodgers, Brady, Brees or Newton, Tebow has to garner starting consideration each and every week. Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno both had to leave the game due to injury, but McGahee said he could have returned if needed. Don’t expect him to be able to since the Broncos have such a quick turnaround for a Thursday game. Knowshon Moreno was placed on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending a very disappointing season. As of this writing, it looks like Lance Ball will start, although Tebow will more than likely handle a great deal of the Bronco run game himself.
 
The Jets were torched by Tom Brady last week but still have a strong pass defense. Even after surrendering 3 TD passes to Brady, they’ve still only allowed 8 on the season. So you won’t be running any Bronco receiver unless you are at DEFCON 5. Sanchez should have a good chance to shine against a Denver pass D that has allowed 243 yards per game and 18 TDs. With Tomlinson out, Greene is worth starting consideration against a Denver run D that is allowing 118 YPG.
 
GOOD STARTS: QB Mark Sanchez, QB Tim Tebow, RB Shonn Greene, WR Santonio Holmes, WR Plaxico Burress
 
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD STARTS: RB Lance Ball, TE Dustin Keller
 
BAD STARTS: Any Bronco receiver
