Badie reeled in his lone target for a one-yard gain and returned four kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers. Badie was on the field for just seven of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps, trailing fellow running backs RJ Harvey (46 snaps) and Jaleel McLaughlin (nine) in playing time. Harvey will likely continue to dominate the usage and snaps out of the backfield when available, but his health is a bit of a question mark heading into Week 16 after he exited late in Sunday's win with a rib injury. The Broncos haven't provided word on the severity of Harvey's injury, though the team added to its backfield depth Monday by claiming Cody Schrader off waivers. If Harvey ends up sitting out this Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Badie would likely be part of a committee that includes McLaughlin and Schrader.

Badie caught his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs. Badie operated as Denver's No. 3 running back in Week 11, playing just eight of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps. The Missouri product failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest. Meanwhile, RJ Harvey stepped into the No. 1 role with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR, playing 38 snaps and handling 14 total touches. Badie is likely to continue to play a pass-catching role for the Broncos as the season progresses, with Jaleel McLaughlin handling primary backup duties behind Harvey. McLaughlin had six touches on his eight snaps and scored the only touchdown for the Broncos against a formidable Chiefs defense. The 25-year-old Badie will be difficult to trust for consistent production each week, making him a risky bet for fantasy managers when the Broncos return from their Week 12 bye to square off against the Commanders in Week 13.

Badie (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. His participation in any capacity at the start of the week suggests Badie has a good chance to play this Sunday in London. He'll be facing a soft Jets defense, but likely in his usual role as a passing-down specialist while J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey continue to get most of the touches.

Badie rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. Badie had a quiet game against Indianapolis, as he was targeted just two twice after seeing six targets in Week 1. The 25-year-old running back continued his role as the No. 3 back behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps. With Dobbins and Harvey handling most of the backfield duties for Denver, Badie should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage. The Broncos are set to visit the Chargers in Week 3.

Badie rushed four times for 14 yards and brought in four of five targets for 31 yards in the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon. He also returned two kickoffs for 72 yards. Badie logged his first touch on Denver's second possession with 10:25 remaining, sharing time with RJ Harvey on that drive. Badie, a third-year back, would go on to particularly make an impact as both a receiver and returner, and it remains to be seen if his in-game slotting Saturday is indicative of a potential move up the depth chart to open the campaign. Badie has logged four regular-season appearances with the Broncos over the last two campaigns, and his 33.0-yard average on three kickoff returns this preseason may serve to give him a path to the 53-man roster.
