From Sunday's comments:
"How effective Greene is is still up in the air. He is not a change of pace back and Thomas looks great. To me, it is not clear how much work he gets especially if he does not chip a rusher or two early in the game. Second, the Raiders are so pathetic that his effort last week could be a major fluke."
Close enough. I know there is a waiver wire rush to pick-up Houston Texans RB Ryan Moats following his very impressive game, but let Greene's follow-up to his very impressive effort act as a warning. Not only did Moats do it against a crappy run defense like Greene did, Moats also has a healthy #1 ahead of him like Greene had with Thomas Jones.

Week Eight Waiver Wire
Not a good week. How could it be when teams on the wrong end of an ass-whooping can't even score a meaningless TD to climb into the double digits in points. However, there is one player who has the potential to be a Donald Brown type of player - New York Jets 3rd rounder Shonne Greene.
If I were holding the top waiver for the next big thing, it would be Greene. He doesn't quite slot into the Leon Washington change of pace role, but he is big and fresh. 10-12 touches plus a goaline carry or two means 10 or so points per week.
A situation worth watching is the Oakland Raiders QB. IF JaMarcus Russell is permanently benched, then a WR will emerge who offers the potential to be a Donnie Avery type of producer. Russell is that bad. His replacement will immediately given the Oakland receivers an uptick in value.
RB Shonne Greene, New York Jets
WR Chaz Schillens, Oakland Raiders
QB Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers
WR David Clowney, New York Jets

Fantasy Football: Sleeper RB Racing Up ADP Charts
Biggs: Jets may look to trade Jones | National Football Post:
"Bolstered by the addition of rookie Shonn Greene, the New York Jets are gauging trade interest in running back Thomas Jones and have placed a call to an NFC West club, a league source said."
Shonn Greene should be the bigger winner between himself and Leon Washington given his size and Washington's value in non-rushing apsects of the game.
