Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

Broncos RB Tyler Badie (back) will not play in Week 5 against the Raiders.

Badie went down with the back injury after taking a hard hit in the first quarter of Denver’s Week 4 win over the Jets. He made it to the sidelines under his own power but was eventually taken to the locker room on a stretcher. Despite the frightening optics of the situation, the fact Badie wasn’t immediately placed on injured reserve this week suggests a best-case outcome for the young back. Until he returns, Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin will split the Denver backfield.
Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

Broncos RB Tyler Badie (back) did not practice Wednesday.

Badie rushed for a career-high 70 yards just two weeks ago but suffered the frightening back injury in Week 4. The fact that the Broncos have not placed Badie on injured reserve appears to be a positive sign for his overall health, football aside. Fantasy managers should expect Badie to remain sidelined until the team announces otherwise.
Salvon Ahmed

DEN Running Back #26

Broncos signed RB Salvon Ahmed, formerly of the Dolphins, to their practice squad.

The Broncos added Ahmed after Tyler Badie went down in Sunday’s win over the Jets. Playing four seasons with the Dolphins, Ahmed has 163 carries for 593 yards and five touchdowns, adding 40 catches for 274 yards and a score. He will be depth for the Broncos, who have not found much consistent production from their running back room this season.
Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tyler Badie has full movement in his arms and legs after leaving Sunday’s Week 4 matchup against the Jets on a stretcher.

Rapoport also adds that Badie, who flew home after being discharged from the hospital, did suffer a back injury that may land him on injured reserve, but this is by all accounts good news for the third-year back out of Missouri. It was a scary scene in the Meadowlands after Badie was carted from the field and then carried into the Broncos’ locker room after the play. We’ll know more about how much time he’s expected to miss later in the week, but it’s fair to assume Badie won’t be active for Week 5 against the Raiders.
Josh Reynolds

DEN Wide Receiver #11

Josh Reynolds was not targeted in the Broncos’ Week 3 win against the Jets.

Courtland Sutton dominated targets (9) on the day in an ugly offensive environment on a day that saw Bo Nix throw for just 60 yards. Reynolds is Denver’s distant WR2 until further notice.
Jaleel McLaughlin

DEN Running Back #38

Jaleel McLaughlin had nine rushes for 46 yards in the Broncos’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding one catch for zero yards.

Javonte Williams led the Denver backfield with 77 yards on 16 rushes. Tyler Badie, who emerged in Week 3 as the team’s best rushing option, suffered a serious back injury in the first half against the Jets, forcing the Broncos to revert back to a Williams-McLaughlin backfield. McLaughlin won’t have much fantasy appeal unless the Williams misses time this season.
Javonte Williams

DEN Running Back #33

Javonte Williams had 16 rushes for 77 yards in the Broncos’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding two catches for three yards.

Williams led the Denver backfield in rushing attempts and yards after Tyler Badie exited the game with an apparently severe back injury. The Broncos trusted Williams in critical situations through the second half; Jaleel McLaughlin was hardly involved at all in the final two quarters. If Badie’s injury is of the long-term variety, Williams should be the lead back going forward. The Broncos take on the Raiders and their league-worst rush defense in Week 5.
Courtland Sutton

DEN Wide Receiver #14

Courtland Sutton caught 3-of-9 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 4 win against the Jets.

Sutton, as usual, had a bunch of air yards and a lot fewer real yards as Bo Nix remained terribly inefficient as a passer. Nix finally threw his first touchdown as a pro on a nice red zone toss to Sutton in the back of the end zone — the only touchdown of the game for either team. No other Broncos pass catcher had more than three targets on the day. Sutton remains a major positive regression candidate as Denver’s clearcut No. 1 wideout. He’ll go against the burnable Raiders secondary in Week 5.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Bo Nix completed 12-of-25 attempts for 60 yards in the Broncos’ 10-9 Week 4 win against the Jets, adding four rushes for five yards.

In a steady rain, Nix was miserable from the pocket, often airmailing passes and bouncing balls several yards short. He managed to throw his first NFL touchdown on a red zone hookup with Courtland Sutton in the fourth quarter. Nix now has one touchdown pass on 177 drop backs. The shockingly inefficient Nix has benefited from a rock solid Denver defense that has kept the team in games over the past few weeks and allowed the Broncos to remain balanced or run heavy. Nix gets the banged-up Raiders defense in Week 5.
Tyler Badie

DEN Running Back #28

Broncos RB Tyler Badie suffered an apparent back injury in Week 4 against the Jets.

Badie took a shot to the back on a first quarter carry and was seen receiving medical care on the sideline before trainers placed Badie on a stretcher and carried him to the Denver locker room. It appeared to be an increasingly serious medical situation. Badie had emerged as a big part of the backfield in Week 3. He’s considered questionable to return to the game.
