Jets vs. Broncos: Best Fantasy Options from Thursday Night's Game

Here's a look at the three best fantasy options from tonight's game between the New York Jets and the Denver Broncos. 

Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos

Listen, I am as unimpressed with Tim Tebow as a quarterback as the next guy, but when it comes down to it he just produces in terms of fantasy points.

You're essentially putting a running back in your QB position when you roll with Tebow, and believe me, there are plenty of worse options than that.

He's likely only going to throw it 12-15 times, especially against the New York Jets, but he'll also carry it probably close to 15 times. 

Not only that, Tebow gets most of the carries around the goal line. 

Be confident that you'll get at least 60 yards rushing and a touchdown, and then anything in the passing game is gravy. 

Willis McGahee, RB, Denver Broncos

Since Tim Tebow will only throw about 15 times, it's likely the Broncos will run the ball somewhere around 50 times.

Tebow should get a bunch of those carries, but whoever starts at running back for the Broncos should get a lot of work. 

McGahee is still a game-time decision because of his hamstring, but he's played really well through a bunch of injuries already this season. I expect him to get the majority of the work.

Sure, he's going up against the Jets, but New York hasn't been quite as stingy against the run this year, as usual, and McGahee should produce a huge day since he'll probably get somewhere around 25 carries.

If it turns out that McGahee can't go, Lance Ball is a good pick. I wouldn't like him as much as McGahee, but would still start him because of the big workload. 

Santonio Holmes, WR, New York Jets

The Denver Broncos have actually been pretty good against the run. Because of that, the Jets will have to turn to Mark Sanchez and the passing game.

It's pretty much anyone's guess as to who will thrive in this offense, but Santonio Holmes is clearly New York's best receiver and showed signs of breaking his season-long slump last week.

Holmes pulled in six catches for 93 yards last week against New England and I'm betting he continues that success against Denver tonight.
