Jaleel McLaughlin

Jaleel McLaughlin rushed twice for -2 yards in the Broncos’ Wild Card loss to the Bills, adding a reception for no gain.

So much for all that. The Broncos’ most involved — and productive — back down the stretch, McLaughlin was once again mothballed for an ineffective Javonte Williams. Coach Sean Payton clearly saw something “in the matchup” he liked for Williams, but it was only in his mind. Williams turned his nine handles into a predictably pointless 43 yards. Although Williams is finally at the end of his unproductive rookie deal, McLaughlin has not shown enough to take command of this maddening backfield heading into 2025. Also going on 25, there’s probably not much untapped potential left in McLaughlin’s 5-foot-7 frame. The Broncos are a lock to make talent additions to this group, keeping McLaughlin locked into the uninspiring RB3/4 range in dynasty formats.
