As expected if Peyton Manning's foot was OK after Sunday's game, he will be the Broncos starter in the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact:

Manning looked solid in his return in Week 17, so this was the expected outcome, as Legwold noted in his tweet.

The Broncos placed RB J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury will require surgery and likely ends Dobbins’ season. He could be available if the Broncos make a run to the Super Bowl. Dobbins is set to enter free agency. RJ Harvey will step into the main role and Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin will spell him.

Lions place Sam LaPorta on injured reserve

The Lions placed TE Sam LaPorta on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

LaPorta was already ruled out with a back injury for Sunday’s game against the Eagles. He now is out until at least Week 15. Brock Wright will step into the starting role. Wright is fine, but an obvious downgrade from LaPorta and will make a dent into the value of the Lions offense as a whole.

No Sam LaPorta or Terrion Arnold for the Lions. Amik Robertson plans to take his availability to gameday, see if he can go

Fantasy Impact:

Brock Wright is closer to the "blocking" TE prototype than someone we should be plugging into fantasy lineups, so he's out of fantasy consideration. ARSB/Jamo/Raymond could have a few more targets spread around for them, but we may be seeing a few more carries out of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
