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 has operated as the team's lead back over the past three games, recording 34 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown and adding six receptions (eight targets) for 47 yards. Knight has played 104 total snaps since Week 6, with the next closest Cardinals running back being Michael Carter at 57, but he didn't record a single snap in their Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old Knight was out-gained by Emari Demercado in that game, but saw a season high in snap share of 56.9% to Demercado's 40%. It looks like Arizona is trending toward becoming a split two-man backfield between Knight and Demercado, but nothing is set in stone. Head coach Jonathan Gannon has been tight-lipped about how they will distribute the running back touches week to week, but Knight should again be expected to lead Arizona's backfield on early downs in a tough Week 10 matchup against a Seahawks defense that is allowing a league-best 3.5 yards per carry.
