Who Should I Start? Raheem Blackshear or Tyler Badie

The Carolina Panthers have agreed on a deal with running back Raheem Blackshear. The two sides have agreed on a one year deal worth $985,000 for the 2024 season. The 24-year-old will return to Carolina after spending each of the last two seasons with the organization. He has mainly been used as a reserve back and special teams player. Through two seasons, Blackshear has 37 carries for 123 yards and three touchdowns in 25 games. There is unlikely to be fantasy value here unless Carolina loses one or two running backs due to injury.

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie found the end zone in the team's 41-0 drubbing of the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night in the preseason finale. Badie's eight carries were second to only rookie Jaleel McLaughlin's 10 on the evening, but while McLaughlin averaged 4.8 yards per carry, Badie only averaged 1.9 yards per tote for 15 rushing yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old also caught both of his targets through the air for just seven yards. The former sixth-rounder was scooped up off the Ravens' practice squad late last year and had just one catch and one rushing attempt for Denver. Badie isn't a lock to make the Broncos' final 53-man roster, especially since he was outplayed in the preseason by McLaughlin.
