RB - Denver Broncos
64°Availability
Jaleel McLaughlin gained 40 yards on seven carries in Thursday's win over the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
McLaughlin has been effectively playing the part of the spell RB over the last two games, gaining 77 yards on a dozen carries. His fantasy upside is significantly capped by his usage, however. McLaughlin's only real value right now is as a handcuff to rookie RJ Harvey.
Jaleel McLaughlin rushed the ball five times for 37 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
McLaughlin played a depth role for the Broncos on Sunday. He ended up with 37 yards on five carries, but he wasn't able to do much outside of that, which left him with a limited fantasy total. He will continue to serve as a complementary piece behind rookie RJ Harvey for the foreseeable future.
Relegated to a distinct background role, Jaleel McLaughlin saw minimal opportunity in Sunday's victory over Green Bay, logging just nine of the team's 68 offensive snaps. The 25-year-old was barely involved on the stat sheet, converting two carries into four yards while watching starter RJ Harvey command 46 snaps.
Fantasy Impact
The heavy workload disparity cements McLaughlin's current status as a pure insurance option with no standalone fantasy viability. He will look to carve out a role in Week 16 when the Broncos host the Jaguars.
Jaleel McLaughlin ran four times for 22 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in the Broncos' 24-17 win over Las Vegas.
Fantasy Impact
McLaughlin took a backseat yet again to RJ Harvey. He's a worthy stash as a handcuff for those who roster Harvey, but that's about where his value ends at this point in time.
Jaleel McLaughlin rushed the ball six times for 24 yards and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday night's 27-26 OT win over the Washington Commanders.
Fantasy Impact
McLaughlin looked okay through his limited work on Sunday. He totaled 30 yards on his seven touches, but he wasn't able to do much in the passing game to supplement his fantasy total. His efficiency was notably higher than rookie RJ Harvey's on the ground in this matchup, however, which could be something that affects the distribution of work in this backfield moving forward.
