Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Malik Davis

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.

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis had his best game of the season last week against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, handling three carries for 47 yards and a touchdown. Davis ripped off a 43-yard touchdown during the second quarter, showing impressive burst and explosiveness. That marked the longest rushing touchdown of the season for the Cowboys, and Davis' speed is a nice complement to the bruising running style of starter Javonte Williams. The 27-year-old Davis has been up and down from the practice squad for Dallas this season, but he has been active for each of the past six games and has firmly established himself as the No. 2 running back over rookie Jaydon Blue. He could work his way into more touches against the Lions on Thursday night after an impressive Week 13 performance. However, Davis still profiles as a handcuff option for now and should remain on benches in Week 14.
