Tim Tebow a must-add in fantasy leagues

Analyzing a player on the football field and for fantasy purposes can be a big difference sometimes. Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is one of the primary examples.
Tebow will start next week against the Dolphins following the Broncos' bye. He has poor mechanics and is inaccurate and it remains to be seen if he can succeed at the NFL level. One thing we do know: He can be an every week starter for fantasy teams.
We saw it in the final three games of last season when Tebow was a starter. He was the highest scoring QB in that time. He averaged 66 yards rushing and scored a rushing touchdown in each game. That is 12 points before he even threw a single pass. Tebow passed for 138, 308, and 205 yards with four TDs and three interceptions.
In one half of play against the Chargers last week, Tebow passed for 79 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 38 yards with a touchdown. If Tebow is still available, even if you have two good QBs, pick him up. At worst you have another trading chip.
With six more teams on bye, here are some good plays in Week 6:
A.J. Green (Bengals, WR): Green is an every week start. He's that good and the Colts' secondary was shredded by the Chiefs last week.
Greg Little (Browns, WR): He will start and play the slot in three wide receiver sets. Oakland has allowed 10 passing touchdowns and the Browns had the bye to work on getting Little more involved.
