Jaleel McLaughlin To Play Meaningful Role Rest of Season for Broncos?

Thursday, November 27, 9:44 AM

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin totaled just six offensive snaps and one carry all season before Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin played just eight offensive snaps in the game, but handled six carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch (one target) for negative five yards. Rookie R.J. Harvey operated as the clear lead back, playing 60.7% of the snaps and recording 14 touches, but McLaughlin outcarried him two to one inside the 10-yard line and found the end zone. Head coach Sean Payton praised the 25-year-old after the game and said that he will be "important down the stretch." With J.K. Dobbins (foot) likely out for the year and Tyler Badie mostly operating on passing downs, McLaughlin should play a key role in Denver's backfield for the remainder of the season and could be the preferred goal-line option, giving him value in deeper leagues.
