The Chiefs come off an unlikely win on the road in Chicago; a win they probably wouldn’t have gotten if the Bears weren’t missing their entire offensive talent base due to injury.  Tyler Palko didn’t really look any better than he had the previous two weeks, but he didn’t make the same amount of critical errors that submarined his team’s chances of winning either.  The Jets ended up having to fight hard in the second half to get a win against a downtrodden Redskins team, and the Jets defense is showing more and more cracks in it as the season goes along. 
Mark Sanchez and the Jets still have a lot to play for and can’t afford any missteps, as they’re already one loss away from probably not making it to the post-season.  This should be more than enough motivation to fail-boat against the a scrappy Chiefs team that has been playing better defense as of late, and may give Sanchez all he can handle.  Don’t expect much out of the Jets passing attack, as the Chiefs have played two straight weeks with stymieing the aerial attack of their opponents, but Sanchez should still be able to get around 200 yards and a score… not great, and certainly you can do better for your fantasy playoffs.  This also means both Plaxico Burress and Santonio Holmes will probably not be worth playing as anything other than a flex, but Burress is more likely to catch a touchdown pass due to his inviting 6’5” frame in the endzone. 

Shonn Greene has started to come on lately, getting at least 19 carries in 5 of his last 7 healthy games, and producing at least 75 total yards in those games.  He’s getting more carries as the season goes along, and he probably will get at least one shot at a goal line score in this game,.  Last week, Greene had three TDs, but he hadn’t scored in his last six games before that, so he is a decent fantasy play here, but owners shouldn’t expect more than one score.  Luckily no other runner has factored in much in the last two weeks, so if there are going to be any goal line carries, then Greene will undoubtedly get them.

For the Chiefs, they go against their third straight tough defensive opponent and second straight on the road.  Just like it was in the last two games, none of the Chiefs are really worth a fantasy play due to both the defense they’re playing a game, and the fact that from Palko to Thomas Jones and Jackie Battle, they’re just plain terrible in the talent department.  Only Dwayne Bowe has been worth a play, but against Darrelle Revis and the Jets, even he’s not worth putting in lineups with the playoffs on the line.

Good Start:  RB Shonn Greene, WR Plaxico Burress

Middle of the Road:  QB Mark Sanchez, WR Santonio Holmes, TE Dustin Keller

Bad Start:  RB Ladainian Tomlinson, all Chiefs players
