Greene's fantasy stock takes a hit, even though it came against a top defense. Greene fumbled twice, dropped a screen pass and basically was outplayed by the older LaDainian Tomlinson, who looked spry and ready to take on a larger role. Greene ran for 18 yards on five carries, while Tomlinson broke a few relatively big plays and ended up with 62 yards on 11 rushes. It's just one game, and nobody would be so reactive as to give up on Greene, but it's going to be tough to rely on him as a Week 2 fantasy starter against the New England Patriots after Jets coach Rex Ryan seemed tepid in using him in the second half Monday.
To see whose fantasy value is rising and whose is falling heading into Week 2, you must be an ESPN Insider.
