Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Kimani Vidal

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.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal (thigh) has returned to his team's Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars after briefly exiting due to a thigh injury. Keeping Vidal healthy is critical given that the Chargers' backfield is already without top running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles). If Vidal were to suffer another injury, Amar Johnson and Trayveon Williams would be the likely candidates in Los Angeles to handle backfield work for the remainder of Week 11. As long as he can stay on the field, Vidal should be expected to dominate backfield work against Jacksonville.
