Jaleel McLaughlin Has Flex Appeal In Nice Week 7 Matchup

one year ago

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin has gone from being a name not many in the fantasy community knew at the start of the year to an intriguing RB3/flex play in a nice matchup in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. He's already essentially jumped Samaje Perine on the RB depth chart to No. 2 behind Javonte Williams with his solid play through six weeks. The 23-year-old has been more productive than Williams, too, despite fewer touches -- 190 yards on 29 carries (6.6 yards per tote) with one TD. He's added nine catches for 58 yards and two more scores. McLaughlin will remain involved and has a juicy matchup this Sunday against a Packers D that is giving up 143.4 rushing yards per game (fifth-most) and 24.1 half-PPR points to RBs per game (fifth-most). McLaughlin has nice upside as a flex play this week.
