The reason is not that Greene is more valuable on the field, it's that he would probably be claimed and has potential trade value. Wilds will probably make it to the practice squad and be available should one of the RBs get injured, and I doubt that would be the case with Greene or Mickens.

Does he? I don't see it. He's not fast, he's not big, he doesn't have a track record of production. What he has is a track record of injuries and fumbles.

All of this "production" talk with Greene is a bit misconstrued. He's barely seen the field on offense in the regular season.

He's never started a game and has limited snaps in 13 total regular season games.  I'm not sure what great production we're supposed to expect from the kid. If he stays healthy and the Jags suffer any injuries at WR he's a solid option to take over the slot receiver role.

I suppose Mickens has grabbed the bull by the horns more with his receiving opportunities, but maybe I'm just worried there's some flukiness involved as opposed to sustainability. I could be wrong about that.

Then there's the return stuff:

Mickens:  27 Punt Returns -  287 yards - 10.6 yd avg  - Long 72-yds - 3 fumbles (on PR) 

Greene:   39 punt returns - 432 yards  -  11.1 yd avg -  Long  73 yds - 5 fumbles 

They are practically identical returners statistically.
