Everyone is talking about adding Shonn Greene this week with the injury to Leon Washington that ended his season. And rightly so, the rook had a big day mopping-up against the Raiders and should see action weekly. But, will it be enough to have fantasy-value? Or did Thomas Jones’ stock just go way up? ESPN weighs-in:
Who Benefits? Thomas Jones or Shonn Greene
↵↵Thomas Jones is the prime beneficiary of Leon Washington’s season-ending injury; while Shonn Greene looked excellent racking up huge fantasy points in garbage time, he’s no replacement for Washington. He’s not a fluid pass-catcher, and he’s not quick in space. To me, that means Jones stays in on more third downs, and probably sees an uptick in receptions. I don’t love his skill, but I love his situation. The only rub could be that Greene might get goal-line looks, in order to save Jones some wear and tear.
