Brandon Lloyd being dealt to Rams

Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd is reportedly being dealt to the Rams.

This is a move with a lot of fantasy implications. Lloyd's value is likely salvaged a bit, since he'll have more success with Sam Bradford throwing to him than he likely would have with Tim Tebow. Bradford's stock is boosted as well. Demaryius Thomas may take Lloyd's place in the starting lineup.

Tebow, on the other hand, may struggle. Without the downfield threat of Lloyd, defenses will be free to stack the box. If Tebow can't run the football, he'll have trouble producing big fantasy lines--or winning many games.

No word yet on what the Broncos will receive in return.
