It's Tebow Time in Denver

Oftentimes, I'm wrong. Stevan Ridley's role this week comes to mind, as well as Mario Manningham's supposed breakout season. But sometimes, I'm right. And when I said you should pick up Tim Tebow, I hope you listened.
A brutally ineffective Kyle Orton was benched at halftime of today's game against the Broncos. When Tebow took over, the score was 23-10 and the Broncos were walking dead. When it was said and done, Tebow brought them within a completion of tying the game and did the thing we knew he could: RUN.
Tebow's mechanics are awful. He can't throw accurately. Heck, he can't even get the ball cleanly from under center. But fantasy owners should pay that no mind. In just one half of work today, Tebow picked up 17 fantasy points because he ran for a touchdown and threw a screen pass for another. It's the same refrain that we saw when Tebow started three games at the end of last season. During that span, Tebow averaged 217.0 passing yards, 66.3 rushing yards and scored seven total touchdowns.
In other words, add Tebow in all formats. After the Week 6 bye, I'd be comfortable with him as my QB1 going forward. He's a mini-Cam Newton. The Broncos' goal-line back and playmaker on offense.
