Tyler Badie, as the #3 back, is doing a ton of the dirty work and is honestly doing everything asked of him at an above-average level.

Tyler Badie is positioned to see increased usage in Week 4 against the 49ers with rookie Jonah Coleman on injured reserve. The source notes the Broncos' rushing attack has been one of the bottom five in the NFL with week-to-week consistency issues, but the matchup against a 49ers defense that will likely be without defensive end Nick Bosa and will rely on two rookies (Gracen Halton and Romello Height) to start up front presents an opportunity for the Broncos' running backs to establish early momentum.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
