Whisenhunt optimistic Beanie Wells will play week 3

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

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.

The Lions placed TE Sam LaPorta on injured reserve.

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

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.
