Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin collected 16 carries for 39 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5. He caught two passes (on two targets) for nine yards as well.
Huddle Up: While Denver's backfield is arguably the NFL's messiest for fantasy owners, McLaughlin feels like the most likely back to contribute from one week to the next. He's posted double-digit carries in three of his last four games and is at least a capable pass catcher out of the backfield. As an RB3 or flex, McLaughlin could be worth a spot in your DFS lineup next weekend.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin paced the backfield with 10 carries for 69 yards at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28. He caught both of his targets for seven yards.
Huddle Up: While McLaughlin's efficiency is nice to see, this backfield can be a minefield for fantasy purposes from week to week. Kansas City comes to Denver in what is a meaningless game for the Chiefs, so look to see key defenders rest. McLaughlin is a so-so RB2 or flex option as a result.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin likely will share playing time with Audric Estime and Javonte Williams during the game. He could be a possible flex option in deeper fantasy leagues but is not a strong option since he will be part of a committee during the game.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin appears to be on track to return to the lineup after a one-game absence. He will be part of a committee at running back if he is cleared to play and could be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Huddle Up: The limited practice is an upgrade for McLaughlin after he closed out last week sitting out, so it appears he has a chance to return. Even if he plays, McLaughlin is not a suggested lineup option, as his production and touches have been far too inconsistent to trust.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 24. Also, RB Tyler Badie (back), WR Troy Franklin (ankle) and CB Riley Moss (knee) practiced in full.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 16. The Broncos did not hold a practice Wednesday, so the practice participation is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Javonte Williams and Audric Estime likely will share playing time with McLaughlin unavailable. Neither running back had much success last week, but both should still see a decent amount of touches during the game. Williams may have more fantasy value at this point, but he and Estime could be a possible flex options in fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 17, after not taking part the day before.
Huddle Up: The limited session gives McLaughlin a shot to suit up this week. McLaughlin had the most touches of Broncos running backs last week, but Javonte Williams and Audric Estime had eight and six, respectively. McLaughlin looks to be the best bet to start out of the trio, but none of Denver's backs are suggested lineup options.

Denver Broncos DL John Franklin-Myers (foot) did not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 17. Also, CB Riley Moss (knee), RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) and DT D.J. Jones (finger) were limited and CB Patrick Surtain II (ankle) practiced in full.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 16. The Broncos did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin suffered the injury in the last game, so his status for Week 16 is in question. He rushed for 84 yards a few weeks ago but has received at least 10 carries in only two games this season. He probably will see a limited workload if he is able to play and can be avoided in most leagues.
