December 27, 2025
The Broncos signed Schrader to the practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos claimed Schrader on Dec. 15 before waiving him Thursday. The running back has yet to play in a game for the team, but he will wait for a potential elevation opportunity. With RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie all healthy and active, Schrader is not a likely candidate for elevation to the active roster next week.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A coach's dream, Schrader gives maximum effort at all times, but his general lack of athleticism caused him to go undrafted out of Missouri in 2024. The 49ers are the best possible landing spot for any running back, and if Schrader's strong pass-protection skills and ability to squeeze every yard out of a run earn him a roster spot, he could be the latest backfield success story for Kyle Shanahan. San Francisco's depth chart has more impressive specimens though, from Christian McCaffrey to 2024 fourth-round pick Isaac Guerendo, so Schader has his work cut out for him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Day 3 prospect per Brugler
RBFree Agent
April 14, 2024
Schrader will likely be a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick, per the comprehensive 2024 NFL Draft Guide compiled by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Schrader led the SEC in rushing with 1,627 yards at Missouri in 2023, and he added 14 touchdowns, showing he can thrive against tougher competition after starting his college career at Division II Truman State. His time at Truman State included a dominant 2,074-yard, 25-touchdown season on the ground in 2021. Schrader doesn't possess remarkable size or athleticism, as the 5-foot-8 running back ran a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine while weighing in at 202 pounds.
