Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez To Sit Jets 4th Preseason Game: Fantasy Implications
Tim Tebow will rest for the Jets’ final preseason game, along with Mark Sanchez and the rest of the team’s starters. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Tebow is the only mildly surprising thing about this announcement since he isn’t technically a starter. It should be noted that head coach Rex Ryan and the Jets are going through great lengths to keep Tebow and their plans to utilize him under wraps, however. It’s clear at this point that the enigmatic quarterback will be more than just a gimmick within the Jets’ offense. Whether he is actually effective, or worth your time as a savvy fantasy owner remains to be seen.
