Tim Tebow expected to start for Broncos

No matter how much his mechanics have been questioned, no one has ever doubted Tim Tebow @TimTebow's abilities as a leader. On Sunday, he'll lead the Denver Broncos. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter via a league source, Tebow will start at quarterback against the Oakland Raiders. Kyle Orton was very limited in practice during the week because of bruised ribs. He didn't throw a pass in any of the three sessions. Tebow has played in four games in his rookie season, but has just one pass attempt to his credit. That did go for a touchdown, however. He's rushed 12 times for 28 yards and three scores, and we'll see him do a lot of running versus the Raiders.

Fantasy Analysis:

Certainly Orton is hurting, but I'm sure his two previous games didn't give interim head coach Eric Studesville much confidence in the veteran, so they figured to give Tebow a shot. Look for an extremely run-heavy attack from the Broncos' offense tomorrow. That's good news for Knowshon Moreno @knowshonmoreno; not so much for Brandon Lloyd @mrblloyd. He's fallen off with Orton and his prospects for week 15 don't look good. He'll have to beat Nnamdi Asomugha to get open and even when he gets free, he'll have to depend on Tebow to deliver the ball accurately. There are going to be a lot of people asking whether or not to start Lloyd. I wouldn't if you've got three other top-25 WR options. He's a risky WR3.
