Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed four times for 19 yards in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin was limited to just four total touches, while Javonte Williams had nine runs and four receptions with rookie Audric Estime running six times with three receptions. If McLaughlin is third in the backfield pecking order, that's obviously terrible for his fantasy value. Right now, only consider using him in deeper PPR formats heading into Week 12 at Las Vegas.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 12 yards on two carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed five times for just 10 yards in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens, while adding three catches for 10 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin averaged just 2.0 yards per rushing attempt, much fewer than Javonte Williams (3.5) and Audric Estime (7.0). McLaughlin is likely to still have a role in the offense because of his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, but Estime could surpass both he and Williams for carries at some point. McLaughlin is only worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin ran eight times for a team-high 47 yards in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers, while posting a 9-yard touchdown reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin averaged 5.9 yards per rushing attempt, carving out a role for himself with Javonte Williams struggling against the usually soft Carolina rush defense. Despite the score and healthy yards per attempt average, McLaughlin remains more of a RB3 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Baltimore in Week 9.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin gained 35 yards on four carries (8.8 yards per carry) in a Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: For the fourth time this season, McLaughlin logged a half-dozen touches or fewer, which is disappointing after he showed some legitimate explosiveness as a rookie. Only those in deeper leagues need continue to roster the second-year back for depth purposes. Everyone else can feel free to replace him as needed.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin ran three times for eight yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin is one of Denver's few explosive playmakers, but head coach Sean Payton continues to keep his workload to a minimum - regardless of game script. After handling 15 touches in the season opener, McLaughlin has managed 33 over the next five contests. As a result, McLaughlin needs to score a touchdown to be useful in most leagues. At this point, he should remain on benches in deeper leagues and can be cut in more casual leagues.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin carried the ball six times for 22 yards versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 6. He added three receptions for three yards and a touchdown.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin hasn't been nearly as effective this year as he was in 2023, but the Broncos look to be making some progress offensively, with a season-high 34 points on Sunday (though that number did include a defensive score). He could be carried as depth, particularly in deeper leagues, and is at least worth watching based on his regular usage.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed nine times for 46 yards in Week 4 against the New York Jets, while adding one catch for no gain on his only target.
Huddle Up: After an ugly Week 3 performance, he bounced back nicely with 5.1 yards per attempt. He and Javonte Williams each rebounded after losing touches to Tyler Badie in Week 3. McLaughlin can still only be trusted in deeper fantasy leagues heading into Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin ran five times for seven yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he had a 7-yard catch on his lone target.
Huddle Up: McLaughlin averaged 1.4 yards per rushing attempt, and that's simply not going to get it done. Tyler Badie came out of nowhere to surpass both McLaughlin and Javonte Williams in the Denver backfield, in terms of production. If McLaughlin plays third fiddle in the Denver rushing attack, his fantasy value would obviously be nil. Watch it in Week 4, and if we have a similar distribution, it's time to look elsewhere.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed three times for just six yards in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he wasn't targeted in the pass game.
