Shonn Greene: Joins Titans
Greene has signed a three-year, $10 million deal with the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Greene will serve in a complementary role in a backfield still headed by Chris Johnson, so unless Johnson is injured, Greene -- who carried 276 times for 1,063 yards for the Jets last season -- is in for a dramatic dip in carries, though he could still retain some fantasy utility if he carves out a short-yardage role with the Titans.

The Titans are hoping to sign Greene, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Greene is visiting with the Titans on Wednesday and if the deal gets done, he'd work with Chris Johnson in a complementary role, an arrangement that would represent a hit to the fantasy value of both players.

Greene is expected to draw interest in free agency from the Falcons and Broncos, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Michael Turner reportedly on the way out in Atlanta and the Broncos perhaps looking to shake up their backfield, the fits outlined here make sense, with the report adding that it looks like the Jets are prepared to move with Bilal Powell, supplemented by a speed back.

Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests that the Jets aren't likely to re-sign Greene, who is ticketed for free agency.
Analysis: The report notes that Greene is not an ideal fit for Marty Mornhinweg's West-Coast system, but despite his lack of explosiveness, Greene's between-the-tackles ability will no doubt make him a back of interest in free agency. If Greene does indeed depart, then the 2013 Jets would trot out Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight, quite possibly bolstered by a draft pick and/or free agent signee.

Although Greene ran for a career-best 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 2012, his per-carry average (3.9) was the lowest it's been since he joined the NFL in 2009.
Analysis: Greene continued to be a liability in the passing game - he caught 19 passes for 151 yards in 2012. The Jets need to think about adding more competition in the backfield for 2013.

Greene had 14 carries for 38 rushing yards and two touchdowns, as well as two catches on three targets for 42 receiving yards Sunday against the Chargers.
Analysis: While his yardage figure wasn't great, Greene's two one-yard touchdown runs certainly made up for it. Backup Bilal Powell lost three yards on three carries, so it was certainly Greene's backfield Sunday. Up next is a matchup against the Bills, who allowed 94 rushing yards and a touchdown to Greene in Week 1.

Greene had 13 carries for 68 yards and caught two passes for one yard Monday against the Titans.
Analysis: Joe McKnight had four carries for 29 yards and Bilal Powell eight touches for 43 yards as the Jets continue to split backfield work among the different backs. Greene looked the more powerful a decisive of the bunch, but five Mark Sanchez turnovers sapped much potential for any back to do much damage in this one. San Diego's stiff run defense is up next in Week 16.

Analysis: Bilal Powell had been eating into Greene's carries as of late, but the latter finished with twice as many carries Sunday. It was Greene's second 100-yard game this season, after he rumbled for 161 in Week 6 against the Colts. His 24 carries were also the most he's had since that Week 6 contest and if the Jets continue to roll with Greg McElroy under center, Greene could be heavily worked again next week against the Jaguars.

Analysis: Meanwhile, Bilal Powell carried 12 times for 40 yards and a touchdown, while catching two passes for 13 yards in the game. While Greene has 32 carries to Powell's 23 over the past two games, Powell has scored three times in that span, while Greene hasn't hit paydirt since October 21. With the Jets' backfield having morphed into a time-share, Greene's upside is capped, especially with Powell getting his share of scoring opportunities of late.

Analysis: A fairly muted effort for Greene, who saw Bilal Powell score the first two touchdowns of his career Sunday.

Greene had 77 rushing yards on 15 carries and 29 receiving yards on two catches Sunday against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Greene has now eclipsed 85 total yards in three straight games, although Sunday was his first in that span without a touchdown. Backup Bilal Powell remains sidelined with a shoulder injury and third stringer Joe McKnight aggravated his ankle Sunday, leaving Greene as the only real option in the Jets' backfield. It's certainly possible that Powell and McKnight return after the bye, which means Greene's workload should remain consistent despite the injuries.

Shonn Greene: Bounces Back After Tough Hit
Greene, who left Sunday's game with a head injury but returned for a spell in the overtime session, has said "he's good" several times following the game, according to ESPN New York.
Analysis: By putting the pieces together without any hard facts, we assume Greene went through the league's concussion protocol during the game and was cleared, otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed back on the field. We'd still check his status throughout the week, but between Greene lobbying to get back in after taking a tough hit from Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes in the fourth quarter, and the fact that team medical officials let him back out there, it sounds like he may have escaped a concussion or serious head injury. We'll see how he practices this week to be safe.

Greene had 16 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss at New England. He also caught six passes for 34 yards.
Analysis: The average wasn't pretty, but Greene showed decent vision and decisiveness on a number of runs. We'll need to check his physical status in a day or two, alas; he was shaken up late in the game and could be a physical concern for Week 8 (albeit he briefly played in overtime).

In his Week 7 Predictions, NFL.com's Elliot Harrison believes "Shonn Greene's sequel to last week's 161 spot will be more "Hot Shots! Part Deux" than "The Godfather Part II." I see the big tailback having just a so-so performance (75 yards or less), putting the New York Jets' hopes squarely on the right arm of Mark Sanchez." FULL WEEK 7 PREDICTIONS
Analysis: Don't expect Greene to produce in fantasy land either. The Patriots have only allowed two rushing scores all season and though their secondary is vulnerable, Sanchez has no weapons to throw to. Avoid both players unless you're in a bye week bind.

Shonn Greene: Goes Off For 161 Yards, 3 TDs
Greene had 32 carries for 161 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Colts.
Analysis: A monster game for Greene, who had been really struggling this season to break out in any way. He actually had some extra carries in the Jets' blowout thanks to injuries to both Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight. If anything is clear, it's that the Jets' backfield belongs to Greene and the team will continue to ride him as long as he's hot. A date next week with the Patriots will give Greene owners a clear indication if he's turned the corner or if Sunday's performance was purely a fluke.

Coach Rex Ryan plans to stick with Greene, who has averaged 2.9 yards per carry thus far, as the Jets' starting running back, the Daily News reports. "Have I lost confidence in Shonn Greene? The answer is no," Ryan said on Thursday. "I think we keep giving him the ball. He's working extremely hard. I just think it's a matter of time before he really starts popping."
Analysis: In his role as the Jets' third-down back, Bilal Powell has received more snaps in each of the team's last two games, but Greene will remain the starter, though as Ryan noted, "I think Powell has really earned the right to play some." A time-share favoring Greene appears to be on tap for Sunday's game against the Colts, who are allowing 135.8 yards per game on the ground, but Ryan hopes that an emphasis on improved blocking will help open some holes in Week 6 for the scuffling Greene.

Greene had eight carries for 26 yards and caught one pass for 19 yards in Monday's loss to the Texans.

Next up for the Jets are the Colts, who have allowed 133.8 rushing yards per game, but despite looking at a better matchup than he faced Monday, at this point it's hard to get too fired up about Greene's Week 6 prospects.

Greene rushed 13 times for 47 yards and caught three passes for eight yards during Sunday's loss to Carolina.
Analysis: Greene had one 18-yard burst up the middle when the blocking was sharp, but he struggled to make anyone miss - or to move the pile - on his own. He needs a lot of things go to right on any play. On the positive side, the Jets want to run a conservative offense and there isn't a dynamic back that's pushing Greene.

Greene accumulated 36 yards on 11 carries (3.3 YPC) and caught two balls for nine yards in the Jets' preseason defeat Saturday at the hands of the Giants.
Analysis: Greene has a firm grasp as the Jets' No. 1 running back option, while Bilal Powell stamped his way to more opportunities with his performance (six carries for 21 yards).

Greene rushed for 11 yards on five carries in the Jets' first preseason game against the Bengals this past Friday.
Analysis: Greene remains locked in as the Jets' lead back, but Joe McKnight and/or Bilal Powell are in the team's backfield mix as well, both for carries in general and more specifically, third-down work.

Greene entering contract year in '12
NFL.com's Michael Fabiano points out that RB Shonn Greene is entering the final year of his contract with the New York Jets. Despite the Jets shifting towards a ground and pound offense, Greene will have to contend with QB Tim Tebow and RB Joe McKnight stealing touches. The Jets are not likely to abandon the pass game completely either, so Greene's potential still remains limited.
Analysis: The coaching staff has stated their intentions on creating plays specifically for Tebow. Those touches come at the expense of Greene, who might have reached his ceiling after finishing 18th among all fantasy running backs last year. Greene is still a viable No. 2 RB option, but Tebow and McKnight's presence limit his upside.

Greene had 14 carries for 56 yards in Sunday's loss at Miami.
Analysis: Greene's fantasy season had value, mostly through the volume: he played in all 16 games (look around the league, that's notable) and collected 1265 total yards and six touchdowns. But a 4.2 YPC doesn't overly excite anyone, and he struggles to make unblocked defenders miss. He'll probably be a low-end RB2 in most leagues next year.

Analysis: Greene could have been in line for a bigger day had the Jets not junked the running game; Mark Sanchez attempted a ridiculous 59 passes. Greene maintains RB2 status in most leagues for the Week 17 finale at Miami.

Analysis: Considering the Jets were behind 28-0 before the second quarter was complete, Greene was fortunate to get as much work as he did. He's a solid RB2 option for Week 16's critical game against the Giants.

Greene (ribs) rushed 24 times for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's romp over the Chiefs. He also had three catches for 58 yards.
Analysis: Looks like those ribs are feeling just fine; Greene has been a dynamic performer for two consecutive weeks. He's also taking advantage of the play of the Jets offensive line, which has been terrific of late. Greene should be a solid play in Week 15 against the Eagles.

Shonn Greene: Handles Jets' Rushing Load
Greene had 25 touches in Sunday's win at Washington, a season high. He finished the day with 114 total yards and three touchdowns.
Analysis: With LaDainian Tomlinson (knee) and Joe McKnight (elbow) dinged up and handling just four touches between them, the Jets hitched up the offense to Greene; the rugged inside runner saw 57 snaps on the day, his highest count of the year according to Pro Football Focus. New York probably would like to run the same type of game plan in the next two weeks, up against Kansas City and Philadelphia.

Greene (ribs) had 22 carries for 88 yards with three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Greene wasn't having a bad fantasy game, but he padded his stats with a couple of touchdowns in the final four minutes, including a 25-yard score with 1:47 left. Greene's rib injury doesn't appear to be a major issue moving forward, and he has some favorable matchups down the stretch with the Chiefs and Eagles on deck.

Shonn Greene: Sore Ribs
Greene has been getting treatment twice a day, but admits that his ribs will be an issue "as long as we keep playing," the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "They're doing alright, just a little sore. But the season (isn't) over so I still gotta play," Greene said Wednesday.
Analysis: Greene was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday, but it sounds like he continues to deal with some discomfort in his rib area, though it's not something that will sideline him in Week 13, barring a setback.

Greene (ribs) carried 13 times for 78 yards in Sunday's win over Buffalo. He added three catches for 12 yards.
Analysis: Considering the Jets were behind for a fair chunk of this game, it wasn't a bad outing from Greene. And we also have to note that he had 16 touches to seven for Joe McKnight, even with the Jets in comeback mode. Greene is a reasonable if unexciting play in Week 13 against Washington.

X-rays on Greene's ribs following Thursday's game came back negative, indicating that they are bruised, not broken, the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: The Jets struggled to run the ball effectively once Greene left the game, as fellow tailback LaDainian Tomlinson was held out of the game with a knee injury. Joe McKnight and Bilal Powell handled the carries in Greene's absence. No word on Greene's availability for Week 12.

Greene injured his ribs in the first quarter of Thursday's loss at Denver and didn't return. He had three carries for 10 yards and one catch for four yards before departing.
Analysis: Joe McKnight had a solid evening in Green's absence (16-59 rushing, 6-62 receiving), so the Jets backfield could be more complicated in future weeks. We'll see how Greene rehabs in front of Week 12's home game with Buffalo; the extra rest time should serve him well.

Greene left Thursday's game against the Broncos with an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: After a four-yard reception Greene stayed down on the field, but was able to walk off on his own power. It is tough to tell what exactly the injury is/was, but it was enough to send him to the locker room for observation.

Greene totaled 61 rushing yards on 13 attempts and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Greene continued his trend of running hard in this one against the Pats, and ended the night with a 4.7 per-carry average. Unfortunately, the Jets trailed all night and abandoned their balanced attack in an effort to catch up. Greene will have better days to come.
