Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post writes that Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie could have an elevated role in the passing attack out of the backfield in a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts because of Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's tendency to bring a lot of "pressure looks." Although Badie didn't have a carry in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans, he was targeted six times through the air and caught two of them for 16 yards. The 25-year-old is not a realistic starting option in Week 2 fantasy lineups, even in PPR leagues, but his presence on the field is bad news for fantasy managers expecting rookie RJ Harvey to see a bigger share of the backfield work in Week 2. Badie's six targets ranked third on the team last weekend in Denver.

Following his best game in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott is a risky RB4/Flex option heading into a matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The former Maine standout is a converted wide receiver who caught six passes and a touchdown last week, showing his fantasy appeal and making him a hot waiver commodity. Minnesota, however, has its hands full in Week 5. Three of the Vikings' five starting offensive lineman are out due to injury, and they'll play a Browns defense that leads the NFL in rushing defense with 2.7 yards per carry. Already the clear second option to starter Jordan Mason, Scott's opportunity could be diminished if the patchwork Minnesota offensive line can't hold up against Cleveland.
Still trying to decide between Badie and Scott? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Tyler Badie is projected to score 0.0 points this week while Zavier Scott is projected to score 0.0 points.
