The Facts:
Green spent the past two NFL seasons bulking up to fit his 6-foot-6 frame and developing into a potential breakout candidate. Somebody thinks it's time. "The sky is still the limit for him," QB Philip Rivers recently said. "I think he's still figuring out how good he can be. ... And he wants to be really good. That's the first thing. You have to have desire and ability. He has both. He is going to continue to improve. He's a guy like many we've had around here. He's, 'Just tell me what to do. I want to do it exactly how you want (me) to do it.' That's why he'll continue to develop."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Green turned 24 last Thursday. Up to 250 pounds, with dynamic speed, he could be a game-changer in the Chargers' passing game. During the regular season, just two of Green's 17 catches went for under 10 yards, as he averaged 22.1 yards per haul. He added three touchdowns of 60, 30 and 22 yards -- all after Week 12. With little depth on the outside behind second-year standout Keenan Allen and Malcom Floyd (returning from a season-ending neck injury), the Chargers could use Green as a "move" tight end. Fantasy football owners can expect regular two-TE sets with Green and veteran Antonio Gates both on the field often.
