Virgil Green News: Green will likely get some reps with the first-team offense, as both Joel Dreessen (knee) and Jacob Tamme (quad) are battling injuries, the Denver Post reports.

Green will likely get some reps with the first-team offense, as both Joel Dreessen (knee) and Jacob Tamme (quad) are battling injuries, the Denver Post reports.

Green is expected to split those first-team reps with Julius Thomas, who was a basketball player while in college. Green has been primarily a blocking tight end throughout his short time in Denver, and with Tamme and Dreessen ahead of him on the depth chart last season, his fantasy impact was minimal. Now that he's getting a look with Peyton Manning's unit, he's got a great opportunity to show what he can do.
