Fantasy Impact
An expected outcome, Butt's season is over after suffering the third ACL tear of his career. As a result, Jeff Heuerman and Matt LaCosse are in line to receive the featured tight end duties for the Broncos. In a corresponding move, Denver promoted TE Brian Parker from the practice squad. Any hope of salvaging fantasy value at the Broncos TE position is gone.
