Who Should I Start? Tyler Badie or Sean Tucker

Saturday, October 5, 6:15 PM

Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie (back) has been placed on the injured reserve prior to the Week 5 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Badie went down with a back injury during last week's game. It appears the injury is somewhat significant considering the team has placed him on the IR, so Badie will miss at least the next four games. The young back hasn't done a ton this season outside of his 70-yard performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin figure to split up the workload in the backfield going forward.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield after Bucky Irving (hip, back) went down early during last week's game. Rachaad White took over as the lead back and looked great with a two-score performance. However, Tucker didn't do much as he rushed three times for 47 yards and finished with zero receptions on two targets. There is a chance that Irving does sit in Week 15, which would mean Tucker moves into the No. 2 role once again. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about that considering Tucker only saw three rushing attempts last week. Tucker is too risky of a streaming choice to start in important fantasy games this weekend.
