Another position the Jets could be thin at is running back.

Behind Shonn Greene, the Jets have little experience. But second-year back Bilal Powell really stood out Sunday. He looked quick and hit the holes hard.

It has been assumed that Joe McKnight would fill the third-down running back role with LaDainian Tomlinson gone, but maybe Powell can move up the depth chart.

The Jets running game will live or die with RB Shonn Greene, who enters his second season as the featured back. For the first time in his career, he's the most accomplished runner on the team.

Greene, a notoriously slow starter, averaged 74 yards and 4.4 per carry over the final 12 games last season, but he needs that kind of production over the full season. Greene is a one-speed back who doesn't make enough yards on his own. This is a contract year, so he'll be plenty motivated.

Some players on the team believe RB Joe McKnight will be the break-out player on offense. He'll get the opportunity, that's for sure. He'll back up Greene and replace LaDainian Tomlinson as the third-down back, the first time in his young career that he'll have a legitimate role on offense.

Fantasy Impact: 

Both backs could be hurt, to some extent, by the news Tim Tebow will be a factor in the red zone. However Mark Sanchez could be the real loser here, as his stat line was padded by 6 rushing TDs in 2011. Greene can be had with a 6th round pick in an average draft. We suggest waiting on him longer in the draft, and targeting him as a buy low candidate after a brutal early schedule.

Jets plan to use QB Tebow in red zone

Jets QB Tim Tebow will be one of the most closely watched players in the NFL. Why? Because he's Tim Tebow. Another reason is because of his role: What is he?

The Jets say he's the No. 2 quarterback and will be used in the wildcat package. They haven't divulged any specifics, but it'll probably be closer to the read-option offense he ran in Denver than a true Wildcat, which is a direct snap to a running back.

Team insiders say the plan is to use Tebow in the red zone, where they can replace Mark Sanchez with another player/blocker to bolster the running game.

Fantasy Impact: 

The use of Tebow in the red zone will hurt the value of Sanchez, who didn't necessarily have a lot of value to begin with, but did score 6 rushing TDs last season. Tebow could also take some scoring opportunities from RB Shonn Greene.

Sanchez likely won't be drafted in your league, and we rank him 27th at the moment. Meanwhile, Greene is a low-end RB2 or high end flex or RB3. As the stats show, Greene only found the end zone six times in 2011, but should be helped with LaDainian Tomlinson no longer in the mix. Green's ADP is the sixth round.

LaDainian Tomlinson, who retired in June, said that he thinks new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano’s grinding approach to offense could become a problem for WR Santonio Holmes, who complained about the offense last season before sparking an in-huddle argument with Mark Sanchez during the season-ending loss to the Dolphins.

“Santonio was brought there to be the No. 1 receiver and catch a lot of balls through the passing game and if you are a team that’s not going to throw the ball very much that’s going to make for an unhappy receiver, right?” Tomlinson asked. “So, if Week 6 they haven’t thrown the ball more than 15 times a game and Santonio is not getting his catches you may hear some things: him speaking out, him saying things that may rub some teammates the wrong way. It could very well happen, but I hope Santonio learned from last year and that’s all you can really do. You have to learn from your previous mistakes.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Holmes carries some risk, but he's going in the 9th round or later, so some risk is expected. With Plaxico Burress gone, Holmes could be a nice value in the later rounds if his head is on straight.
