So, is Tebow a must add in all leagues?

How does this affect Brandon Lloyd? Eric Decker? Knowshon Moreno? McGahee?

I think some shuffling of value is happening because of this.

As a McGahee, Moreno owner, the common thought is that Tebow takes some potential goalline carries away from the backs. ...But anybody think the Denver RBs catch more passes?

So ... what was going on in August when John Fox and John Elway summarily placed Brady Quinn in the back-up role? Must've all been a show.

Who would you say Tebow is more valuable than in re draft with this news and his past fantasy production?

If you have a solid starter as your QB1 would you drop Freeman, Bradford, Ryan, Flacco, Sanchez, etc in favor of Tebow or is he only an add if you are in desperate QB need? Where does he rank on your QB list going forward?

Tebow is far more valuable than any quarterback on that list. I'd put him 8th going forward with a good chance of moving up the list.

To answer your questions:

- Yes, Tebow is a must-add in all leagues. His upside alone makes him a solid to low-end QB1, at least. Here's the QBs I would rank as clearly more valuable than Tebow right now, off the top of my head: Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Stafford, Newton, Rivers. And *maybe* Vick. After that, I think Tebow is in that next tier, whoever you want to put in there.

- If you look at the stats from the Tebow games at the end of last year and the second half of Sunday's game, the WR's didn't take a hit at all. Tebow particularly liked to lean on Lloyd. But rushing stats went way down. Buckhalter took a lot of screen passes in Wk 16 last year and had a good day, but other than that, it looks bad for Denver RBs. Tebow is going to hurt McGahee's production, no question.

We'll see how he plays, but I agree. He won't be very good from an NFL perspective just yet, but he's going to put up numbers. Newton's reminding everyone how huge a running QB is for fantasy. And if he actually plays well...

Elway not moving Orton while he had any value this off season was a huge mistake.

Even if Tebow busts (which I don't think he will) was a dreadful management error not getting value in Orton while they had an up and coming QB on their team.

Sexy US gymnast Alicia Sacramone turned her body into a work of art for the ESPN 'Body Issue.' (See photo above.)While her nude pics seemingly had everyone gushing about her flexible poses, she is now sidelined from competing as unfortunately for the Beijing Olympic captain, she now she is injured and is ready for surgery.Sacramone has a torn Achilles' tendon and is scheduled to have surgery today (Monday).Her boyfriend, Denver Broncos back-up QB Brady Quinn is spending his bye week with his girlfriend, tending to her needs as she heals.

Would you say the same about Colt McCoy? He has near the same amount of points as those in this list, but with one less week played (he had a bye this past weekend).

I said this another thread and I'll say it again, the only players I'd consider starting over Tebow are (in no particular order) Newton, Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Stafford, Vick, Romo, Rivers. I guess I have him 9th, not 8th, my bad.

I agree 100% even though the trade deadline had not passed no way they can move him. Miami has already shown that they are not going to make a move for a average QB even.
