Who Should I Start? DeeJay Dallas or Tyler Badie

Friday, August 29, 8:25 AM

The Carolina Panthers have signed running back DeeJay Dallas to their practice squad on Thursday. He quickly finds a new home after being released by the Arizona Cardinals earlier in the week. Dallas played in all 17 games with the Cardinals last season, but only rushed nine times for 49 yards while hauling in three receptions for 11 yards and one touchdown. The 26-year-old hasn't seen much of the field as a running back lately with only 19 carries over the last two seasons. He figures to mostly be used on special teams and serve as depth behind Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle.

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie should operate as the backup to R.J. Harvey for the remainder of the 2025 season. Fellow running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) was placed on injured reserve and is done for the year, leaving Harvey in line to lead the backfield while Badie also takes on a larger role. The 25-year-old has been involved recently, playing at least 20 percent of the snaps in four of his last five games. However, during that span, he has just five catches and one carry. Most of Badie's fantasy appeal will come in deeper PPR leagues, but his exact role is a bit unclear given that Harvey is very capable of catching passes, too. Badie is a fine speculative stash in deeper leagues for the time being, but it's too early to trust him in fantasy lineups despite the elevated role.
