• Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Coach suggests more work coming

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that he plans to get McLaughlin more touches moving forward, Jon Heath of USA Today Broncos Wire reports. RJ Harvey is in line to play through a rib injury Sunday against the Jaguars, but the Broncos will be mindful of the rookie lead back's workload down the stretch to help ensure Harvey's healthy for the playoffs. If Harvey comes off the field more on early downs, that could lead to more opportunities for McLaughlin. While McLaughlin's a capable pass catcher, Tyler Badie seems to be the team's preferred backfield option in passing situations. McLaughlin has yet to exceed seven touches in a game this season, and an increased workload may not lead to much success Sunday against Jacksonville's stout run defense.

• Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Week 16 Adds (RB Preview)

  6D ago • By Heath Cummings

  This is a bad matchup, and we aren't sure yet that Harvey will miss Week 16. So don't get too excited. McLaughlin has 10 games in his career with at least 10 touches. In those games, he has averaged 10.2 PPR Fantasy points, but he only actually scored double-digits in three of 10 games. He is a flex at best if Harvey is out.

• Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Week 16 Waiver Priority List

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  RJ Harvey (ribs) was injured late in Week 15 against Green Bay, and we'll see what his status is for Week 16 against Jacksonville. If Harvey can't play, then the Broncos would likely use a tandem of McLaughlin and Tyler Badie (1 percent rostered) against the Jaguars, and I would give the edge to McLaughlin as the Denver running back to use in most Fantasy leagues. He would only be a flex option at best, and McLaughlin has combined for 18 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 10 yards on three targets in four games since J.K. Dobbins (foot) was injured in Week 10. Badie, meanwhile, has four carries for 16 yards and six catches for 24 yards on eight targets over that span.

• Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Minimal usage in win

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  McLaughlin rushed two times for four yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers. McLaughlin continued to operate as Denver's No. 2 running back while playing just nine of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against Green Bay. Meanwhile, teammate RJ Harvey dominated the running back snap share, playing 46 snaps in the contest. The 25-year-old McLaughlin does not hold much fantasy value based on his limited usage in Denver's offense, though he remains a solid insurance policy if Harvey were to be sidelined by an injury down the stretch. Up next for the Broncos is a Week 16 home matchup against the Jaguars.

• Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Handles four carries in win

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  McLaughlin rushed four times for 22 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders. McLaughlin played just 10 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both RJ Harvey (50) and Tyler Badie (12). The 25-year-old running back was unable to get much going with his limited opportunities, as Harvey continued to establish himself as the No. 1 option out of the backfield while recording 100 total scrimmage yards on 23 touches and a touchdown. McLaughlin remains a solid insurance policy in the event that Harvey misses time down the stretch, but barring an injury, McLaughlin should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Packers.
