Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Bam Knight

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (shoulder) upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full practice on Thursday, according to Mike Klis of 9 News. Badie picked up a shoulder injury in the Week 5 upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but he appears to be just fine to suit up for an international game in Week 6 in London versus the winless New York Jets. The 25-year-old has been ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin on Denver's RB depth chart, but he is off the fantasy radar as the No. 3 behind J.K. Dobbins and second-round rookie RJ Harvey. Badie has only seen one rushing attempt for Denver this year (back in Week 2) and has added six catches on 12 targets for 62 scoreless yards through the air. It's going to take an injury to one of Dobbins or Harvey for Badie to get any attention on the waiver wire this year.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Knight was surprisingly Arizona's backfield leader in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he came out of that game a little banged up. However, his return to a full practice on Thursday puts him on track to play this Sunday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Knight played 37 offensive snaps on Sunday and had 12 touches for 54 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Michael Carter played 32 snaps, had 11 touches, and totaled 64 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old Knight is worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's still available in your league, but the Cardinals could go with the hot hand moving forward with Trey Benson (knee) on Injured Reserve. At best, Knight is setting up as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex this week against Green Bay.
