Jaleel McLaughlin - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

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.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: The Carolina Panthers face the Washington Commanders in Week 7. Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a good football player.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Upside WR2 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) likely had a down game in Week 6 due to an ankle injury that he picked up, but his efficiency has been ridiculous, and he's produced big games even without massive target volume.

Travis Etienne Jr. Limited In Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.
