Risk Flags
3- Depth Chart
Denver's backfield is stacked with J.K. Dobbins (RB1), RJ Harvey (RB2), and Jonah Coleman (RB3) all ahead of Badie, who sits at RB4 behind two rookies/young backs with clearer paths to touches.
- Usage Decline
2025 target share was trending down (WOPR 0.08, 6% target share) and touches cratered to 8 carries and 19 catches across 16 games, confirming a specialist pass-pro/third-down role with no volume ceiling.
- Roster Security
Badie returned to Denver in March 2026 on a one-year exclusive-rights tender rather than a negotiated deal, the lowest form of roster security and a common precursor to camp/final-cut casualties.
