RB Tyler Badie, DEN (1 Viewer)

[ilianawindfae]

Didn't even know this guy existed, but in local Denver circles they're calling for this guy to start.

He had 9 carries for 70 yards (7.8YPC). The other two Broncos RB combined for 14 carries for 54 yards (3.8YPC).


Any additional information is appreciated! He's 5 ft 8 and 197 lbs and ran a 4.45 40. With Javonte as an upcoming free agent, he might be a thing.

 

[jm192]

Talk about out of nowhere.

All the off-season talk about Javonte, McLaughlin, and even Estime. Badie is the guy that ends up leading the RB's in carries week 3.

I assume we'll still see JW and JM get touches. But I'd be looking to roster Badie in your bigger/deeper leagues. Payton RB's become superstars. And given the ineffectivenss of the other 2 through 3 games, this is a lottery ticket I want.

My thing was:

JW fumbled. I didn't see a second of the game, but the Internet seems to be pretty unanimous that JW looks slow. His YPC through 3 games is abysmal (2.2). Between the being ineffective and losing the ball, I worry Payton is fed up.

As the President and CEO of the Draft Javonte Williams in 2024 movement, I'm officially concerned. The path to a consistent role for Badie doesn't have a lot of bends or turns at the moment.

 

[Stoneworker]

Javonte isn't slow, but he has been indecisive and lacking vision as stated by Payton himself last week.

Badie is hitting the holes fast and decisively and with burst. He was equally impressive in the preseason so not likely a fluke.

IMO Payton will give Javonte another two weeks to prove himself or either he or McLaughlin gets cut.

Reasoning being Estime likely comes off IR in Week 6 and Broncos really like UDFA Blake Watson and don't want to cut him b/c he will be picked up by another team.

 

[Mitchie]

disappointed in Mclaughlin even though he did score this week, was expecting much more from a receiving standpoint, and like others never heard of this guy

Broncos fans call for Tyler Badie to start after impressive performance

Tyler Badie is in the game to close it out for the Broncos.

Presumably the Buccaneers were selling out to stop the run at this point.

Agree.

The other two have been garbage.

What's Badie's pedigree?

 

[Gally]

What's Badie's pedigree?

He was a 6th round pick by Baltimore a few years ago and got some hype. He was waived and signed to their PS. Then Denver signed him off the Balt PS late in 2022 and soon waived him to add him to their PS. Been there ever since.

 

[Stoneworker]

Since he was only elevated yesterday to the 53-man roster, my understanding is by rule Badie is supposed to revert back to the Broncos' PS Monday (today).

So if the Broncos don't sign him (and cut someone else) by COB, then another team could swipe him off their PS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please

 

[Stoneworker]

Payton's post-game comments...if this keeps up it seems pretty clear that either JW or JM will be the odd man out. Payton has previously commented on Badie's "Joker" traits. So that could be an ominous sign for Jaleel.

“Yeah, look, I’m used to – right, wrong or indifferent – it’s easy to work two [running] backs into a rotation; it’s hard with three. It’s hard to feed three. He’d been practicing well," head coach Sean Payton said in his post-game press conference. "There were a handful of [plays ] – ‘Bad 21,’ we just abbreviate his tags B.A.D… ‘Bad 12’ – there were a handful of plays designed with his name on it and then he’s running well and so he gets some more plays, but we’ll keep working that combination. I was pleased that we were able to run the ball.”

Javonte Williams 5 for 12 yards

Problem is this guy got his big run in the 4th when the Bucs were about done with that game, their offense did mostly nothing all day

Badie had one carry for 16 yards last week in the 2nd quarter against Pittsburgh's #2 rush defense.

JM and JW averaged 1.6 ypc in the same game.

So there is some more context

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

No one thinks Watson might get called up and get some run? Williams is done. Probably in Denver, maybe in the league. McLaughlin doens't look too far behind him. His thing was explosiveness. He doesn't seem to have it anymore.

It should be noted Watson was signed as a priority FA after the draft. Watson and Badie are pretty similar in stature, Watson is marginally faster, but both were considered very good receivers coming out of college. And even though Badie's last season at Missouri was in 2021, he and Watson are the same age - 24. Watson was actually born before Badie. Watson's best year rushing was his 3rd year at Old Dominion when he rushed for 1.112 yards. He played another year at Old Dominion then played a few games or Memphis in 2023. Badie's last season at Missouri was in 2021 when he rushed for 1,604 yards and caught 54 passes for another 330 yards.

There you have it. I think I just talked myself into...

Tyler Badie > Jaleel McGlaughlin > ?Blake Watson? > Javonte Williams

Watson was actually on the original 53-man roster for weeks 1 & 2. So he's already been "called up" (deactivated wk 3 in favor of Badie)

On the ranking of RB's, do you really believe Payton would allow a rookie QB to be pass-protected by three scat-back types who are all <200 lbs and have a combined one year experience in the NFL?

IMO Williams will continue to get the majority of snaps at least until Estime comes off IR.

The question is... Who gets released or traded?

Not entirely logistics. By being sent back to the PS, Badie now can be signed to another NFL team's 53-man roster.

So now that the tape is out there, the Broncos are taking a bit of a risk he gets poached.

Teams can sign players from another team's practice squad, but only to add them to their active roster.

What Are NFL Practice Squad Rules

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Somebody in this thread very clearly owns Javonte.

Badie is gaining favor with the organization and could refuse any contract offered to him by another team. He's been mentioned in the joker role more than once. Once Estime comes back, it really feels like Williams/McLaughlin will be the odd men out.

It's more than likely he has an understanding with the team they are figuring out who to cut and possibly sneak onto the practice squad. One more elevation, and Badie must be added to the active roster. There aren't any if ands or buts about it. He can't stay on the practice squad. Watson would be the easy choice to cut and try to sneak onto the practice squad, but Javonte (or traded if anyone wanted him) being outright cut in anticipation of Estime coming off the IR also isn't out of the question.

Badie has been the best RB on this team through camp, through preseason, and now it's carrying into the season. Be first or be last. He'll never be cheaper.

What Are NFL Practice Squad Rules

ok, but that's always been the case -and- no player is REQUIRED to leave a practice squad. It's considered "bad form" for a player to not give the home team an opportunity to sign him to the active roster before signing with another team's active roster.

So, yeah, he can be taken, but that's exclusively up to Tyler. He can even opt to stay with Denver's practice squad.

in this case of "logistics" (not sure of the correct word), Denver can directly place him back on the practice squad without needing to clear waivers; HOWEVER, teams can only do this three times before they have to keep him on the active or release him out right. Point is, Denver has done this twice. Next time, they MUST keep him on the active roster if they want to keep him. Otherwise, waiver process.

EDIT: Final point... if they promote him again, then they clearly like him. They'll have to release/trade someone and that's likely to be another RB instead of a different position.

 

[TheDirtyWord]

Whether or not Badie turns out to be a thing...my guess is that the player who had the opportunity to seize control of this backfield, Javonte...has fumbled that opportunity and this has the makings of a weekly 9/8/6 RB touch split on a week-to-week basis.

Traded Williams for a 2025 3rd round rookie pick in a dynasty league. Trying to do the same thing in the only other league I have him.

See above. I mentioned much of the same information. Denver is very clearly buying time with the week by week elevations. In that time they'll figure out what to do with the RB room, but barring injury I'd bet anything on two things happening. Badie getting elevated again this Sunday and Baddie being signed to the active roster the following week.

After being drafted in 2022 by the Ravens with no real opportunity, I'm sure Badie wants to be a Bronco as they've given his best chance to prove his worth. Payton is a lot like Pete Carroll. If you produce, you play. It doesn't matter when or where you were drafted.

Watson is on the active roster. He's on a very small priority FA contract. My guess is he gets cut and they try to sneak him onto the practice squad. Badie seems to be everything Watson was supposed to be, but slightly better on the field so far. Likely because he's been around the league for over 2 years now.

All that said, it wouldn't surprise me if they try to trade Williams for peanuts, and if that doesn't work, cut him outright. He looks terrible out there. He's never recovered from that devastating injury. He reminds me of Melvin Gordon at the end of his career, he can't even hold onto the ball. So what's the point of putting him out there each week?

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Not that middling pre-draft ratings are often right, but as a point of reference NFL.com ranked Badie as the 11th best RB in the 2022 draft, one spot below James Cook and three spots ahead of Kyren Williams. Badie was the 18th running back off the board, 3 picks after Kyren Williams and one pick ahead of Keaontay Ingram. The Ravens drafted him in the 6th round and cut him, put him on their practice squad, where he sat until the Broncos brought him in for this season where he's looked like the lone bright spot in a pretty uninspiring backfield. NFL.com pegged him as "a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter." Seems like there are worse lottery tickets out there.

Thanks for the correction. I was around camp last year and didn't even notice the guy. He must have worked on his craft and gotten better? At any rate, he's been around Payton's system for over a year now, making him all that more intriguing to me.

You're convincing me.

Anywhere you can see all of his carries? Looking to see if he passes the eye test.

Looks good to me. The full speed cut on his long run was a thing of beauty. He hits the hole hard, and his production at Missouri should not be ignored. Almost 2,000 yards from scrimmage, 1600 on the ground and almost 60 catches is special.

He's definitely got some pop.

Little undersized to be banging up the middle 15+ times a game I'd think.

Didn't see him catch the ball. Any value in PPR?

Not that middling pre-draft ratings are often right, but as a point of reference NFL.com ranked Badie as the 11th best RB in the 2022 draft, one spot below James Cook and three spots ahead of Kyren Williams. Badie was the 18th running back off the board, 3 picks after Kyren Williams and one pick ahead of Keaontay Ingram. The Ravens drafted him in the 6th round and cut him, put him on their practice squad, where he sat until the Broncos brought him in for this season where he's looked like the lone bright spot in a pretty uninspiring backfield. NFL.com pegged him as "a good backup with the potential to develop into a starter." Seems like there are worse lottery tickets out there.

You're convincing me.

Anywhere you can see all of his carries? Looking to see if he passes the eye test.

Looks good to me. The full speed cut on his long run was a thing of beauty. He hits the hole hard, and his production at Missouri should not be ignored. Almost 2,000 yards from scrimmage, 1600 on the ground and almost 60 catches is special.

He's definitely got some pop.

Little undersized to be banging up the middle 15+ times a game I'd think.

Didn't see him catch the ball. Any value in PPR?

He caught almost 60 passes his senior year in college which is pretty dang impressive for a RB that also ran for 1600. He can catch anything. He also doesn’t fumble. He is a bit undersized but now more than ever it seems like there’s a place for players like him in the NFL. His value will come from what Payton designs for him but hearing SP mention him in the joker role tells me he has more planned for him than just running it up the middle. Jaleel was supposed to be that guy but Jaleel can’t run up the middle and has been a complete disappointment this year. Maybe Badie starts to get those screens because he can keep defenses guessing where with Jaleel if he’s in it’s an outside run or screen. Will Badie ever be a 25 carry guy in the NFL? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have value.

FYI, in Badie's only 2022-23 game with the Broncos he scored on a 24-yd swing pass. And looked good doing it.

Depends on need, if you need a body soon, Badie has a better path to reps.

If you're after lotto ticket depth, Wilson's a league winner if Jacobs goes down

According to Next Gen stats, Broncos RB Tyler Badie clocked at 20.99 mph on his 43-yard run at Bucs, second fastest of any ball carrier in Week 3.

This guy is no joke. The talent is there. Is opportunity finally knocking? A few things stood out to me watching some highlights. He catches with his hands. He has great speed in pads, maybe not elite, but well above average. He is patient and decisive but when he sees it he hits the hole hard and is slippery through it. He seems to have great vision and runs low to the ground creating above average contact balance and power for an undersized back. Bottom line, for a little guy, he's hard to get out on the ground and was a playmaker and Missouri.

Check out his senior season highlights.

He's clearly better than Javonte and McLaughlin as a runner. And he's probably nearly as good as a pass-catcher. But the real question is: Is Badie better than Estime?

What happens when Estime is back in a couple weeks?

Different skill set? Maybe they become the 1-2 punch

They sent him back to the practice squad so their not apparently worried about another team snagging him.

Could be / probably is, wavier wire fools gold for now.

It was a formality. He was called up from the practice squad to replace an injured player and be active the last two Sundays. When this happens, the player automatically reverts to the practice squad following the game.

We'll find out the real deal this weekend. If he gets called up again (and after his production, Payton's comments about special packages, the joker role and increased opportunity, fans would absolutely lose their **** Badie isn't called up again Sunday), the Broncos will be required to sign Badie to the 53 if he's called up a 3rd time.

If/when this happens, you'll start to see a lot of pieces on the board being shifted around in the Denver RB room. I believe Watson will be cut and hopefully added to the practice squad until Estime gets back. But, with him not due back for at least another 3 weeks, Williams is the only big body on the team and they'll probably keep him around for a little while longer. Once Estime gets back, if Williams hasn't shown out, he's gone IMHO.

Estime hasn't looked great since coming to Denver, but I believe he'll better than Williams. He needs to get used to the speed of the NFL and hit holes a little harder but ironically, the run he got hurt on was possibly his best as a Bronco. He hit the hole like a bat out of hell, but decided to try to hurdle a defender instead of running him over. Not only did he fumble, he got hurt.

Is Estime the play here? Looked good in preseason. Much bigger than Badie. And possibly most importantly, Sean Payton drafted him.

So what do you think happens when Estime is back? Is it even possible that Badie could earn the starting role? It doesn't feel like it.

People seem to be ignoring the part about being sent back to the practice squad. Was it just an administrative move and he will be right back? If not, he is short term fools gold as a waiver wire pickup. But yes, add him in dynasty if you believe.
