BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB50
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular sleeper candidate heading into the 2024 NFL season. Unfortunately, the Broncos’ backfield has been a nightmare for fantasy players.
McLaughlin is the RB50 for the year, averaging 5.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has 36 rushing attempts for 116 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The second-year pro also has a role in the passing game, totaling 12 receptions for 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, McLaughlin hasn’t been good enough to start for fantasy players. He has scored fewer than 5.2 fantasy points in the four games without a touchdown this season. Yet, the second-year running back scored only 7.9 and 10 fantasy points in the two games where he found the end zone.
Last week, the New Orleans Saints gave up 217 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 50.2 fantasy points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield minus Rachaad White. While the matchup seems appealing, fantasy players should avoid starting McLaughlin this week.
