BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Running back hell is a brutal thing for fantasy teams, and Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin isn't likely to get you out of it. After showing off impressive explosiveness and quickness in 2023, the second-year-pro now hasn't been fantasy relevant.
Tyler Badie registered the first 70 + yard rushing performance for the Denver Broncos since Week 10 of 2023.

The second-year-pro is 69th in the NFL in rushing yards and averages just 3.2 yards per carry. He has only two touchdowns. His receiving role has also been smaller than expected coming into the year -- he only has 12 catches for 28 yards and one touchdown. NFL coaches hate this level of inefficiency.
With rookie tailback Audric Estime now returning from injured reserve, the roles of both lead back Javonte Williams and second-stringer McLaughlin could be diminished. An ineffective three-way committee is a strong possibility. All three should remain on benches or waivers.
In the future, we could see a backfield spearheaded by Estime and third-year-pro Tyler Badie. For now, stay away.
