Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Carlos Washington Jr.

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.

Atlanta Falcons running back Carlos Washington Jr. finished his preseason with an inefficient seven rushing yards on four attempts while pitching in one reception for seven yards in Friday night's 31-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Washington finished the preseason the way he began it, and it can't bode well for his spot on the depth chart with the beginning of the season right around the corner. Although he did find the endzone one time, Washington finished the preseason with an abysmal 2.4 YPC on 29 attempts. Jase McClellan outperformed him in every way during camp, and it wouldn't be surprising to see McClellan jump Washington as the RB3 on the depth chart to begin the season.
