Gotta love the upside, though...
On the Boss/Shockey issue, unless this is a Dynasty league, I wouldn't consider keeping either player over an alternate RB or WR. They are one of a large group of TEs that won't likely be difference-makers.

Our keeper leagues is WAAAAY different from anyone else's. Most are similar to yours. In ours, we keep FIFTEEN players, and have a three-round entry draft (rookies and free agents) before every season. THEN we have to cut back down to fifteen before the first round of waiver adds/drops, which is the last step before week 1.
In any case, back to the matter at hand: (I hope you're sitting, my team is terrible.) My RBs are Young, Deuce, Darius Walker, Ron Dayne, Laddell Betts, and Pierre Thomas. So yeah... Young's staying.
I think my best situation in the TE category will be if Shockey loses his mind and gets released or refuses to play and Kevin Boss plays as consistent as he did during the playoffs. I'll argue that he's a top-6 TE in that scenario. Watch out: The Giants just won a Suberbowl, and Eli has become a field general.
