BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: McLaughlin was a popular sleeper coming into the year, but so far hasn’t met expectations. He’s only averaging 3.2 yards per carry and hasn’t eclipsed more than 35% of offensive snaps in any game this year.
Despite the slow start, McLaughlin has shown that he belongs on an NFL field.

With Tyler Badie suffering a major back injury, McLaughlin is once again locked in as the No. 2 back in Denver. Their rushing offense has struggled so far, but McLaughlin has proven he can be effective. He just needs more opportunities.
Javonte Williams is coming off his best outing of the season, but he has struggled overall. McLaughlin currently ranks ahead of Williams in Next Gen Stats Rush Yards Over Expected (RYOE) and PFF’s Rushing Grade. It’s not unfathomable that McLaughlin will command more touches if Williams continues to scuffle.
If you’ve got room on your bench and need a back, McLaughlin is worth an add off waivers. We are only a quarter of the way through the season, and McLaughlin still has upside. He’s got talent and is worth rostering for another week or two to see if his production improves.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
