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.

Ollie Gordon II News

Ollie Gordon II Stifled in the Run Game on Sunday

Sunday, November 8, 12:46 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II rushed for 55 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Detroit Lions. He also converted his lone target into a nine-yard reception. For the most part, Gordon has been solid this season while filling in for De'Von Achane (knee). However, he has faltered a little bit lately, posting a modest 14.3 PPR points over his last two games combined. He also carried a four-game touchdown streak into Week 8, but has now gone back-to-back games without a touchdown. In his defense, the 22-year-old has endured some tough matchups against the Patriots and Lions, and his schedule should get easier next week against the Indianapolis Colts, especially if they trade away more players this week. We would expect Gordon to bounce back as a solid RB2 in fantasy football next week, even if his floor is a little lower than it was two weeks ago.
