Week 6 Fantasy Football Gold Mine: Tim Tebow’s Time to Shine?
Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos: 79 passing yards, 31 rushing yards, 1 TD
Tebow played his high school football in Florida. He stayed in his home state for college, attending Florida University and playing football for the "Gators," as they're known. Tebow evolved into a rushing, passing whirlwind, leading the Gators to two national championships. Because of his publicly professed Christian faith, Tebow become known by supporters and detractors as "Baby Jesus."
The dual-threat QB was drafted by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. The selection baffled draft day junkies, many of whom had never heard of Tebow until his name was called by the commissioner.
During a training camp hazing ritual, teammates shaved the top of the likeable QB's head, leaving him a ring of hair that made him look like the San Diego Padres' swinging friar mascot.
The relatively unknown Tebow burst on the scene this past Sunday, relieving ineffective starter Kyle Orton in a coaching move that nobody saw coming. While not much is known about Tebow despite his impressive collegiate credentials, it’s clear that he provides a spark for his team and is capable of scoring through the air as well as on the ground. Look for the second year quarterback to have good games against bad defenses and pedestrian performances against good defenses.
