BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jaleel McLaughlin was located on the waiver wire in 97% of all leagues when this column was constructed one week ago. There is still an opportunity to add the explosive rookie, but that will evaporate this week.
McLaughlin’s playmaking capabilities were on display during another encouraging performance in Week 5. McLaughlin played on 21 snaps, carried nine times, and generated 68 rushing yards during Denver’s matchup with the Jets. He also ran 10 routes, collected three of his four targets, and assembled 21 yards as a receiving weapon.

Those numbers sustained the recent surge in McLaughlin’s usage and production as his snap counts have steadily increased since Week 2 (3/13/16/21). He has now been entrusted with 22 rushing attempts and accrued 160 rushing yards since Week 3. McLaughlin has also run 18 routes while generating two receiving touchdowns.
Javonte Williams was inactive in Week 5 (quad). However, McLaughlin’s ability to erupt for big plays should compel Sean Payton to keep him highly involved in the Broncos’ backfield rotation regardless of Williams’ status. That vaults McLaughlin among this week’s top priorities from the waiver wire.
