Jaleel McLaughlin

Broncos running backs accounted for 8-of-16 offensive touches on the team's first drive, with backup RBs Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin worryingly combining for three. Harvey pulled away from the latter two as the game progressed, though, operating as the offensive focal point as the Broncos trounced the division-rival Raiders. Harvey played with physicality on runs up the middle, capping off his team's fifth drive with one such play on a three-yard touchdown run. His six receptions tie for a team-high. Harvey is an RB2 against the Packers in Week 15.

Harvey did not run particularly well nor did he see a commanding share of the backfield snaps and opportunities with both Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie involved, but he did salvage his fantasy outing with two short touchdowns late in the game. His first score came from one yard out in the third quarter with the team down by a point, adding a five-yard scamper for a touchdown in overtime. Harvey will remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset when the Broncos face the Raiders in Week 14.

He added that he was impressed with McLaughlin's work against the Chiefs in Week 11, when he rushed for 6/19/1. RJ Harvey-reliant managers won't want to hear this, but it's possible that he peaks at 65-75 percent of the usage in Week 13's game against the Commanders. McLaughlin seems destined to be a thorn in his side while not collecting enough usage on his own to be more than a desperation FLEX play.
