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.
Posted: 9/09/2024 1:03 am GMT
Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught five passes for one yard in a 26-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.
Huddle Up: While McLaughlin's workload was encouraging, particularly in the passing game, the Denver offense will have to make some strides before any of the skill players will have much fantasy appeal.

Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin said he spent the offseason studying his weaknesses and working to improve those areas. "I noticed that I didn't do half the stuff that I was supposed to do last year," McLaughlin said. "And that's what makes me hungry. I left a lot on the football field, and I'm not going to do that this year."
