Description: The Titans have signed Shonn Greene to a three-year, $10 million contract. | Insight: Greene has rushed for 1,000 yards in two straight seasons but we wouldn't exactly call him an impact back. He'll back up Chris Johnson and provide some short yardage and power running even though he doesn't do either of those things particularly well. | | |
| 12/30/2012 6:14:00 PM |
Description: Jets tailback Shonn Greene hurdled over the 1,000 yard barrier with 74 yards on the ground Sunday in a loss at Buffalo. | Insight: Greene eclipsed his previous career-high for a season by only nine yards. It's the second season in a row Greene has gone over 1,000 yards rushing. | | |
| 12/23/2012 6:41:00 PM |
Description: New York halfback Shonn Greene only produced 38 rushing yards Sunday versus the Chargers but he still managed to have a solid fantasy day by finding the end zone twice. | Insight: Greene also had 42 receiving yards, which is a season-high. He'll be going up against Buffalo in Week 17, a team Greene fared pretty well against in Week 1 (94 yards and a TD). | | |
| 12/9/2012 6:55:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene split carries with Bilal Powell Sunday against the Jaguars but there was plenty to go around for both rushers. Greene finished with 77 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. | Insight: Greene may be the guy nobody wants on their fantasy team but he's on pace for a career-high 1,086 yards rushing. | | |
| 12/2/2012 7:08:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene scrambled for 104 yards Sunday in a win against Arizona. | Insight: Greene only averaged 4.3 yards per carry but hey, 100 yards is 100 yards. All we care about in fantasy are the points and Greene racked up a whole bunch of them on Sunday. | | |
| Cold | 11/20/2012 4:50:00 PM |
Description: ESPN New York has reported that Jets head coach Rex Ryan is leaning toward a running back by committee approach. | Insight: Greene hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three games and has only reached the 100-yard plateau once all season. You can expect Greene and Bilal Powell to receive a fairly even workload Thursday night against the Patriots. | | |
| 11/12/2012 1:38:00 PM |
Description: Like the rest of his Jets teammates, running back Shonn Greene did little against Seattle, rushing for 58 yards on 15 carries. He'll face a Rams' run defense next Sunday that gave up 183 yards last weekend to San Francisco. | Insight: Greene has seen his fantasy numbers drop for three consecutive weeks since his breakout game against Indianapolis, but with Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight sidelined by injury, he'll continue to get the majority of the workload. | | |
| 10/14/2012 5:45:00 PM |
Description: Shonn Greene burned the Colts defense for 161 yards and three touchdowns on 32 carries. | Insight: Greene was a fast starter in this one and when Bilal Powell left with a shoulder injury, it was all Greene all the time. The rushing total was a career best and the three touchdowns tied his previous best. | | |
| 9/26/2012 11:07:00 AM |
Description: On Monday, coach Rex Ryan said "the Jets were open to trying anything to bolster the rushing attack, including the possibility of more early carries for Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight." | Insight: Sounds like we are about to see a RBBC situation in New York which would put a damper on Greene's fantasy value. Greene had done the majority of the work through the first three weeks with 57 carries for 157 yards and a score. Against the 49ers in Week 4 it is probably a good idea to look in another direction. | | |
| 9/25/2012 10:34:00 PM |
Description: According to ESPN New York, the Jets have no plans to demote Shonn Greene from the starting running back spot. He will get the bulk of the carries Sunday against the 49ers. | Insight: Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday it's "possible" running back Shonn Greene could cede touches to Bilal Powell or Joe McKnight, but apparently Greene will remain the lead ballcarrier for now. You'd have to be crazy to start Greene this week against the 49ers stout run defense. | | |
| 9/24/2012 2:10:00 PM |
Description: Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday it's "possible" running back Shonn Greene could cede touches to Bilal Powell or Joe McKnight, according to the New York Daily News. | Insight: Powell has 88 yards on 22 carries and three catches for 40 yards in three games this season. Greene, meanwhile, has rushed for 2.8 ypc on 57 carries. If anyone does supplant Greene in the Jets lineup it will likely be Powell, not McKnight. | | |
| 9/23/2012 12:04:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene is a risky play in Week 3 with lead blocker John Conner and tight end Dustin Keller both inactive. | Insight: Miami's defense has allowed just 53 yards per game on the ground this season and an NFL-best 2.2 ypc. Keep Greene on the bench. | | |
| 9/22/2012 2:00:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene is not listed on the team's injury report for Week 3. | Insight: Greene left Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after suffering a head injury but he returned at the start of the second half. He appears to be fine so start him as you normally would against Miami Sunday. | | |
| 9/16/2012 5:20:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene left the field in the middle of the second quarter after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit. Greene had rushed for 23 yards on seven carries. | Insight: The Jets claim to be a rushing team and Greene is their primary running back, but he's never lived up to his fantasy expectations. In Week 1 he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown. | | |
| 9/9/2012 4:51:00 PM |
Description: Jets running back Shonn Greene had a nice fantasy day Sunday against Buffalo, carrying 27 times for 94 yards and a touchdown. | Insight: Greene is a mediocre back, but his 3.5 ypc plays well for fantasy owners when he gets this many carries. Besides Tim Tebow, Greene is the only game in town, so expect him to top 20 carries most weeks. | | |
| 9/3/2012 12:25:00 PM |
Description: Running back Shonn Greene will likely yield third-down work to backup Bilal Powell, but should see the majority of the first and second down workload. | Insight: This decision combined with wildcat specialist Tim Tebow should reduce the number of red zone opportunities for Greene, which could hurt his fantasy value. It's a situation which must be closely monitored in the opening weeks. | | |
| 8/1/2012 1:27:00 PM |
Description: Running back Shonn Greene won't receive any third-down opportunities for the Jets in 2012.
SOURCE: Newark Star-Ledger | Insight: This decision combined with the prescence of wildcat specialist Tim Tebow should reduce the number of carries Greene (1,054 yards six TDs last season) sees this season. With fewer opportunities to produce, we wouldn't recommend taking Greene in the early rounds of this year's fantasy draft. | | |
| 6/1/2012 5:38:00 PM |
Description: Jets offensive coordinator has apparently led Shonn Greene to believe that he'll surpass last year's 253 carries, which was a career high for the running back. | Insight: Greene also rushed for a career-high 1054 yards. However, his lack of big-play ability or role in the passing game diminishes his fantasy value. It also remains to be seen how the Jets will utilize new backup quarterback Tim Tebow in short-yardage situations. | | |
| 11/7/2011 3:47:00 PM |
Description: Shonn Greene confirmed he needed to be checked for a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Bills.
Source: ESPN New York | Insight: He was taken out of the game in the 4th quarter with the head injury and didn't return. Concussion symptoms can come and go so I'm sure he'll have to pass more tests before being active against the Patriots. | | |
| 6/13/2011 2:07:00 PM |
Description: Jets RB Shonn Greene was named the team's starting RB and primary ball-carrier, which means Ladainian Tomlinson will be relegated to third-down back.
SOURCE: STAR-LEDGER | Insight: Greene carried the ball 185 times for 766 yards during the 2010 regular season, sharing the load with Tomlinson, who had 219 carries for 914 yards. Tomlinson got off to a hot start last fall and started 13 games, while Greene again came on late in the season and the playoffs. | | |
