It is officially the beginning of the Tim Tebow era in Denver: Tebow will make his first NFL start today for the Broncos against the Raiders
NFL Week 15 Fantasy Football News: Tim Tebow Starting For Broncos
Broncos tight end Dan Gronkowski tweeted the news first, as the Denver Post’s Lindsey Jones notes.
It’s hard to predict what Tebow will do — he doesn’t have a ton of weapons at his disposal with the 3-10 Broncos, and has only thrown one pass all season — and it gets harder when the weather is considered. It’s a windy, stormy day in Oakland, and anyone with Tebow on a roster and questions about his arm strength might be better off sitting the Florida product.
Consequently, Brandon Lloyd’s value may also be diminished. Lloyd has been a top-ten fantasy wide receiver all season thanks to Kyle Orton’s proficiency, and expecting Tebow to mimic that production on a grim day is probably too much to ask. Anyone who rode Lloyd’s surprising season to a playoff berth in fantasy might be rightfully worried about starting him today.
