Tyler Badie - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Minimal production in 2025 campaign Badie ended the 2025 regular season with eight carries for 23 yards, adding 19 receptions on 31 targets for 141 yards across 16 games.

Impact Badie was mostly an afterthought in 2025, with teammates J.K. Dobbins (foot) and RJ Harvey stealing the show for the vast majority of the season. The second-year running back was used sparingly out of the backfield, primarily as a pass catcher in hurry-up situations. Not surprisingly, Badie played a complementary role behind Dobbins and Harvey this season. After Dobbins landed on IR, teammate Jaleel McLaughlin leaped Badie on the depth chart as well. The 25-year-old Badie will become an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, so if Denver offers him a tender, he'll be back with the Broncos next season. If Denver decides to not make the offer, the Missouri product will become an unrestricted free agent and hope to join another squad's running back rotation as a depth option.

Minimal production in Week 16 Badie caught one of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Badie failed to record a single carry for the second straight week and the eleventh time this season. Moreover, the 25-year-old running back has seen his role as a pass catcher diminish in recent weeks, while rookie RJ Harvey has taken a step forward catching passes out of the backfield. The Missouri product played just 15 of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Harvey (39) and ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (10). Barring an injury to Harvey or McLaughlin, Badie holds little fantasy value going forward. Next up for Denver is a Week 16 road matchup against the Chiefs.

Little usage in Week 15 Badie reeled in his lone target for a one-yard gain and returned four kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

Impact Badie was on the field for just seven of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps, trailing fellow running backs RJ Harvey (46 snaps) and Jaleel McLaughlin (nine) in playing time. Harvey will likely continue to dominate the usage and snaps out of the backfield when available, but his health is a bit of a question mark heading into Week 16 after he exited late in Sunday's win with a rib injury. The Broncos haven't provided word on the severity of Harvey's injury, though the team added to its backfield depth Monday by claiming Cody Schrader off waivers. If Harvey ends up sitting out this Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Badie would likely be part of a committee that includes McLaughlin and Schrader.

Five touches against Las Vegas Badie rushed four times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Impact Badie was unable to get much going Sunday, recording 21 total yards against the Raiders. The 25-year-old running back played just 12 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps, behind RJ Harvey (50) but ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (10). Badie is not seeing enough consistent usage to be an impactful player for fantasy purposes. With that said, the Missouri product should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Packers in Week 15.

Non-factor against Chiefs Badie caught his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Badie operated as Denver's No. 3 running back in Week 11, playing just eight of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, RJ Harvey stepped into the No. 1 role with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR, playing 38 snaps and handling 14 total touches. Badie is likely to continue to play a pass-catching role for the Broncos as the season progresses, with Jaleel McLaughlin handling primary backup duties behind Harvey. McLaughlin had six touches on his eight snaps and scored the only touchdown for the Broncos against a formidable Chiefs defense. The 25-year-old Badie will be difficult to trust for consistent production each week, making him a risky bet for fantasy managers when the Broncos return from their Week 12 bye to square off against the Commanders in Week 13.

Rejoins backfield rotation Sunday Badie played 21 of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 19 yards on two targets in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

Impact A healthy inactive Week 6 in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London, Badie returned to action Sunday while Denver opted to have him suit up over Jaleel McLaughlin as its third running back. Badie actually ended up playing one more snap than fellow backup tailback RJ Harvey, and the former had a couple key catches late in the game as Denver overcame a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit. Badie also contributed as a return man for the first time all season, bringing back four kickoffs for 96 yards.

Full practice Thursday Badie (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Badie popped up on the injury report with a limited workload in Wednesday's practice, but he assuaged any concerns over his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets in London by practicing without limitations Thursday. He'll likely continue to see a limited workload as the distant third option in Denver's backfield behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Dealing with shoulder injury Badie (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact His participation in any capacity at the start of the week suggests Badie has a good chance to play this Sunday in London. He'll be facing a soft Jets defense, but likely in his usual role as a passing-down specialist while J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey continue to get most of the touches.

Three touches in Week 2 Badie rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.

Impact Badie had a quiet game against Indianapolis, targeted just two times in the passing game against the Colts after seeing six targets in Week 1. The 25-year-old running back continued his role as the No. 3 back behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps. With Dobbins and Harvey handling most of the backfield duties for Denver, Badie should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage. The Broncos are set to visit the Chargers in Week 3.

Two grabs against Titans Badie caught two of six targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans.

Impact Badie's six targets were the third-highest total of any Broncos player Sunday, though the running back failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest. The 25-year-old played 14 snaps on offense, behind both J.K. Dobbins (40) and RJ Harvey (22). Badie did see work on special teams as well, playing 14 snaps with the unit. Fellow running back Jaleel McLaughlin was inactive for the game, and it remains to be seen if that will be the case in Week 2. Badie's usage could suggest that his versatility will lead to him being active again in the Broncos' next game. Nonetheless, Badie will look to make the most of his opportunities when the Broncos visit the Colts in Week 2, though he remains far off the fantasy radar.

Impact Badie logged his first touch on Denver's second possession with 10:25 remaining, sharing time with RJ Harvey on that drive. The third-year back would go on to particularly make an impact as both a receiver and returner, and it remains to be seen if his in-game slotting Saturday is indicative of a potential move up the depth chart to open the campaign. Badie has logged four regular-season appearances with the Broncos over the last two campaigns, and his 33.0-yard average on three kickoff returns this preseason may serve to give him a path to the 53-man roster.
