Who Should I Start? Sincere McCormick or Tyler Badie

The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad on Thursday. McCormick quickly finds a new team after being cut by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the week. The 24-year-old figures to serve as depth behind Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson Jr., and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) in the backfield. Last season, McCormick rushed 39 times for 183 yards in five games (two starts) with the Raiders. There isn't going to be fantasy value here unless the 49ers suffer a few injuries in the backfield.

Across 10 games this season, Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie has recorded 96 scrimmage yards on 13 total touches. Badie has spent most of the 2025 season in Denver's RB3 role behind J.K. Dobbins (foot) and R.J. Harvey. However, Dobbins is now out for the season after undergoing foot surgery, opening up an opportunity in the Broncos' backfield. In the team's first game without Dobbins in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Badie played just eight offensive snaps and recorded just one touch, a zero-yard reception. Still, alongside running back Jaleel McLaughlin, Badie should remain in the mix for RB2 snaps behind Harvey. In the deepest of fantasy leagues, Badie could be worth a look on the waiver wire heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
