All it takes is one injury for a guy's fantasy value to skyrocket, and that's exactly what happened this week to Greene. After barely playing the first six weeks, the third-round rookie was called into duty early Sunday when Leon Washington went down with a leg injury, which it turns out will be season ending. Greene responded with a huge effort at Oakland, picking up 144 yards and two scores on 19 carries. Although Thomas Jones remains the Jets' starter, New York wants to keep him fresh by divvying up carries, meaning Greene should see his fair share of touches each week. With many favorable matchups in the second half, the Iowa product could be a fantasy difference maker.
