Jaleel McLaughlin Offers Short-Term Waiver Wire Appeal

Tuesday, October 20, 7:00 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Jaleel McLaughlin is worth considering on the waiver wire following an expanded role in Sunday's win over Baltimore. With Quinshon Judkins (ankle) inactive and Dylan Sampson (knee) still sidelined, McLaughlin rushed nine times for 41 yards and caught four passes for 14 yards. He led Cleveland's backfield with a 61.9% snap share and ran 24 routes, creating some short-term fantasy appeal. McLaughlin is rostered in just 10% of leagues, but his Week 7 value against Tennessee will depend on the availability of Judkins and Sampson, who could both return.

Audric Estime Offers Week 10 Flex Upside After Leading Saints in Carries

Monday, November 9, 6:38 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime took 14 carries in regulation against Cleveland on Sunday, compared with three for Alvin Kamara. Estime finished the overtime win with 15 carries for 72 yards, including a two-yard touchdown that put New Orleans ahead with 58 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He caught his only target for five yards, while Kamara drew four. New Orleans claimed Estime off waivers from Cleveland on Tuesday and waived Kendre Miller on Saturday. He gained 32 yards on three straight carries to open the Saints' first drive, including an 18-yard run over left guard. Estime is rostered in four percent of Yahoo leagues and merits a modest bid in 12-team half-PPR leagues. The Saints host Carolina in Week 10, and the Panthers have allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back in three straight games. Estime has flex appeal in that matchup if Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) stays on injured reserve. Etienne averaged 13.7 touches across three starts this season, and his return would put Estim 's early-down volume at risk.
