Minimal involvement against Atlanta
McLaughlin rushed four times for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: McLaughlin assumed the role of the Broncos clear-cut No. 3 running back, as Javonte Williams and rookie Audric Estime both handled more playing time and carries in the contest. The second-year running back played just nine of Denver's 62 offensive snaps, while Williams and Estime played 32 and 14 snaps, respectively. With head coach Sean Payton repeatedly hinting at an increased workload for Estime as the season progresses, McLaughlin will likely continue to be the odd man out in the Broncos'…read more

Limited to two carries Sunday
McLaughlin rushed two times for 12 yards in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Sunday brought a changing of the guard to the Broncos backfield, as McLaughlin and Javonte Williams combined for just three carries to rookie Audric Estime's 14. McLaughlin had logged at least three rush attempts in each game this season and a combined 13 over his previous two contests, so the drop in involvement, which also included his third game without a target, was notable. McLaughlin figures to continue operating in a passing down role, whether it's behind Williams or Estime, in a Week 11…read more

Eight touches against Baltimore
McLaughlin carried the ball five times for 10 yards and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: McLaughlin played the No. 2 running back role Sunday, playing 23 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps while starter Javonte Williams played 39 snaps in the contest. Through nine weeks, the 24-year-old McLaughlin is averaging just under six rushing attempts and roughly 23 yards per game. The second-year running back has not seen enough consistent involvement in Denver's offense to make him an attractive option for fantasy purposes. In addition, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports Broncos…read more

Finds end zone Sunday
McLaughlin carried the ball eight times for 47 yards and caught his only target for a nine-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: While his nine touches were far behind Javonte Williams' 21, McLaughlin actually led the Broncos in rushing yards on the afternoon, and his 56 yards from scrimmage were a season high. The second-year back capped his performance with his third TD of the year in the third quarter, giving Denver its final points of the game. McLaughlin may be working his way back into a timeshare with Williams, but they both face a daunting matchup Week 9 against the Ravens.

Four carries in win
McLaughlin rushed four times for 35 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: McLaughlin played just 22 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Thursday, a season low for the second-year running back. Meanwhile, starter Javonte Williams played 63 percent of snaps and handled 14 carries in the contest on his way to 88 yards and two touchdowns for his best fantasy performance of the season. Though McLaughlin was the clear No. 2 option out of the backfield, his usage left much to be desired. The 24-year-old failed to see a single target in the contest for just the second…read more

Five touches in loss
McLaughlin rushed three times for eight yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for 17 yards.
Analysis: McLaughlin continued to operate as Denver's No. 2 running back in the contest, playing 14 of the Broncos' 55 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, starter Javonte Williams played a healthy 37 snaps but saw just three more carries than McLaughlin. The Denver backfield has failed to become a strong unit so far in 2024, as play has been inconsistent and unimpressive through five games. With rookie Audric Estime rejoining the team after a four-week stint on injured reserve, the running back situation could…read more

Finds end zone against Vegas
McLaughlin rushed the ball six times for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions on four targets for three yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: McLaughlin worked as the change-of-pace back to Javonte Williams and now has at least nine touches in three games this season. He didn't work efficiently as either a pass catcher or rusher in Sunday's win, though he did contribute a four-yard touchdown reception halfway through the third quarter. Though it was his second trip to the end zone of the season, his limited volume makes him an unreliable fantasy contributor.

Produces 46 yards
McLaughlin ran for 46 yards on nine carries against the Jets on Sunday, adding one reception for zero yards on one target.
Analysis: McLaughlin's previous single-game high for rushing yardage was 27 on 10 carries in Week 1, so the 46 yards against the Jets was a welcome improvement. The Denver defense was dominant Sunday, giving the offense the luxury of leaning on the run game longer even when returns weren't immediately good. The Broncos kept wearing down the Jets defense over the course of the game, however, and started running with more ease in the second half. McLaughlin still functioned behind Javonte Williams, who ran…read more

Six touches against Tampa Bay
McLaughlin rushed five times for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers. He added one catch on his lone target for seven yards.
Analysis: McLaughlin continues to see limited usage in a timeshare with Javonte Williams, however, both backs were outpaced by teammate Tyler Badie in Week 3. Badie rushed nine times for 70 yards while both McLaughlin and Williams handled just five carries each. The Broncos rushing attack has struggled to start the season, and it could be headed toward a three-way split with Badie's solid performance Sunday. Despite his underwhelming outing, the 24-year-old McLaughlin scored on a one-yard touchdown run…read more

Less involved in Week 2
McLaughlin rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: After leading Denver's running backs in touches in Week 1, McLaughlin took a back seat to teammate Javonte Williams against the Steelers. The second-year back played just 17 of the Broncos' offensive snaps in the contest, well behind Williams, who was on the field for 40 snaps. McLaughlin also failed to see a target in the passing game, though he logged a healthy five targets in Week 1. With that said, the 24-year-old has an explosive skill set, yet he has been unable to produce efficiently in…read more

Most touches in Week 1 loss
McLaughlin carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards with a lost fumble and caught all five targets for one yard in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: McLaughlin finished the day with five more touches than co-starter Javonte Williams. Neither tailback performed well in quarterback Bo Nix's first start, as each averaged less than three yards per carry. Sunday's workload bodes well for McLaughlin's fantasy managers heading into next Sunday's tilt against Pittsburgh, but neither back looks appealing following underwhelming starts.

Second in RB rotation again
McLaughlin rushed three times for 17 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 27-2 preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: McLaughlin was the second running back into the game for Denver after Javonte Williams, working ahead of Audric Estime and Samaje Perine. He handled only four touches in this game after logging nine in the preseason opener against the Colts. McLaughlin is seemingly locked in as Williams' top backup, so it's possible neither of them will play much in next Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals as Denver sorts out the rest of its backfield depth chart.

Handles seven carries against Colts
McLaughlin rushed seven times for 30 yards and caught two of his three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.
Analysis: McLaughlin played 19 offensive snaps in the Broncos' preseason opener, the most of any Denver running back. The 23-year-old is entering his second season competing for a spot on Denver's depth chart with fellow running backs Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine and Audric Estime. McLaughlin has impressed Denver's coaching staff this offseason, though Williams projects as the favorite for early-down work headed into the 2024 campaign. With Perine likely to handle work on passing downs and Estime…read more

Vying for larger role Year 2
McLaughlin is working to earn an increased workload entering Year 2 while competing with backfield mates Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin has been one of the earliest to arrive throughout Denver's voluntary offseason workouts, and at mandatory minicamp he reportedly looked more explosive than in his rookie season, when he averaged an impressive 5.4 yards per carry. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi praised McLaughlin's "speed, acceleration (and) explosiveness," saying "I don't know if there's anyone who works harder than him." Still, the Broncos' backfield is crowded, with Javonte Williams presumably still the No. 1…read more

Returns healthy for OTAs
McLaughlin (head) has been participating in OTAs, Isaiah J. Downing of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin played all 17 games for the Broncos in 2023 after going undrafted out of Youngstown State last spring, averaging 5.4 yards on 76 carries and 5.2 yards on 31 receptions. He seems to be healthy after suffering a head injury Week 18, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll have a role in Denver's crowded backfield in 2024. The team still has Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine under contract and recently brought in fifth-round pick Audric Estime and undrafted free agent Blake Watson.…read more

Averages 5.4 YPC in rookie year
McLaughlin (head) had 76 carries for 410 yards and one touchdown to go with 31 catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns while appearing in all 17 of the Broncos' games during his rookie season.
Analysis: Carving out playing time wasn't easy in a backfield that also included Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine, but the undrafted McLaughlin racked up at least six touches in 11 of his last 14 games and was on his way to reaching that benchmark again in Week 18 before a head injury knocked him out of the season-ending loss to the Raiders. McLaughlin led the team in yards per carry (5.4), and his strong rookie season could earn him a larger role in 2024 after he recovers from the head injury.

Set for increased workload
McLaughlin is expected to have an increased workload Week 18 against Las Vegas, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin actually started at running back over Javonte Williams against the Chargers in Week 17, though Williams ended up with 31 offensive snaps to McLaughlin's 19. Nonetheless, McLaughlin put together the better performance, outrushing Williams, 44-41 yards, despite getting seven fewer carries. The running backs had an almost identical receiving line (3-18-0 for McLaughlin, and 3-17-0 for Williams), and both should play roles in Denver's season finale against the Raiders on Sunday.

Leading rusher on eight carries
McLaughlin took eight carries for 44 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: McLaughlin finished as Denver's leading rusher despite seeing seven fewer carries than starter Javonte Williams, who finished Sunday's win with 41 rushing yards on 15 attempts. That's two consecutive weeks in which the backup has outproduced the starter both in terms of volume and efficiency. McLaughlin has shown good burst in his limited opportunities this season, posting a per-carry average of 5.7 yards through 15 games. The undrafted free agent has yet to receive double-digit carries in any…read more

Nets 67 yards on 10 touches
McLaughlin had six carries for 37 yards and caught four of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: McLaughlin maximized his time on the field Sunday, converting 10 combined touches into 67 yards from scrimmage. The opposite could be said for starter Javonte Williams, who netted just 19 yards on 14 touches in the loss to New England. McLaughlin has been Denver's most efficient rusher this season, but he has spent most of the year operating as the team's third option behind Williams and veteran backup Samaje Perine.

Four touches against Detroit
McLaughlin carried the ball two times for two yards and secured two of three targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: McLaughlin played just eight of Denver's 64 offensive snaps in the contest behind starter Javonte Williams (31) and primary backup Samaje Perine (25). With such limited usage, the rookie running back is far off the fantasy radar as anything more than an insurance policy if Williams or Perine were to miss time due to injury. McLaughlin will look to continue his role as a depth option out of the backfield when the Broncos host the Patriots in Week 16.

Five carries in Week 14
McLaughlin rushed five times for 25 yards and caught one of his two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: McLaughlin handled six touches for the second straight week and was only able to record 32 total yards in the contest. The rookie running back played just 13 of Denver's 67 offensive snaps behind Javonte Williams (40) and Samaje Perine (14). With Williams continuing to see the majority of opportunities out of the Denver backfield, McLaughlin's fantasy utility is extremely limited barring an injury ahead of him.

Handles two carries
McLaughlin rushed twice for four yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.
Analysis: McLaughlin played just two of the Broncos' 67 offensive snaps, his lowest snap total of the season. Additionally, the rookie failed to see a single target for the first time since Week 3. As Javonte Williams continues to dominate backfield snaps and Samaje Perine has carved out a more significant backup role, McLaughlin isn't earning enough opportunities to be a consistent contributor. The 23-year-old's fantasy potential remains limited as the Broncos enter a Week 13 matchup with the Texans.

Five grabs against Vikes
McLaughlin had one carry for one yard and caught all five of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: McLaughlin was largely an afterthought in the Broncos' ground attack, handling only one carry for the first time since Week 2. Instead, the rookie running back was involved more in the passing game as his five catches were a season high. With Samaje Perine regaining a bigger role behind starting RB Javonte Williams, McLaughlin's path to significant value has gotten that much narrower, and Sunday marked the second straight week in which he played just 15 percent of the offensive snaps.…read more

Meanwhile, starter Javonte Williams continued to see his role grow as the featured back, handling 21 rushing attempts and seeing four targets.

Turns six touches into 39 yards
McLaughlin had four carries for 33 yards and caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The rookie continues to serve as the primary backup to Javonte Williams, ahead of veteran Samaje Perine. McLaughlin finished with 39 yards on six touches, but his production was dwarfed by Williams' 30 touches for 98 scrimmage yards and a TD. It appears that the team is comfortable giving Williams his full workload after easing him back in from injury earlier in the year. McLaughlin and his Denver teammates will go on a bye in Week 9, resuming play against the Bills on Nov. 13.

Another efficient showing
McLaughlin rushed five times for 45 yards and caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: McLaughlin's performance was highlighted by a game-long rush of 23 yards. While that contribution made for another ultra-efficient outing, as McLaughlin is now averaging 6.9 yards per carry, teammate Javonte Williams turned in a second straight promising showing, totaling 96 yards on 18 touches. Even though Williams is seemingly getting back to his best form as Denver's starter, McLaughlin's playmaking should keep him involved from a backup capacity within Sean Payton's offense.

Analysis: McLaughlin came into the contest with plenty of momentum after taking advantage of an expanded role against the Jets in Week 5 by gaining 89 total yards and scoring a receiving touchdown on 12 touches.

Stuck in crowded backfield
McLaughlin is expected to face more competition for reps out of the backfield Thursday against the Chiefs with Javonte Williams (hip) set to enter the Week 6 contest without an injury designation, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin thrived with Williams out for the Week 5 loss to the Jets and for much of the Week 4 win over Chicago, piling up 193 yards and two touchdowns on 22 touches in the past two contests while sharing backfield snaps with Samaje Perine.

Productive after Williams' injury
McLaughlin rushed seven times for 72 yards while catching all three of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over Chicago.
Analysis: McLaughlin was Denver's most effective running back after Javonte Williams' (hip) early exit, while Samaje Perine mustered only 35 scrimmage yards on six carries and two targets. McLaughlin caught an 18-yard touchdown on a screen in the first quarter, then showcased his shiftiness with a 31-yard run in the third.

McLaughlin caught his only target for minus-7 yards and failed to record a single carry in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Following an impressive preseason, McLaughlin's regular season debut left much to be desired. The rookie operated as the Broncos' No. 3 running back behind Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine. McLaughlin's five offensive snaps came in far behind the veterans, with Williams and Perine each seeing 29 snaps.

McLaughlin won a spot on the Broncos' initial 53-man roster and made a strong impression on the team's veterans during training camp and the preseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey noted Wednesday that numerous veterans have taken notice of McLaughlin, an undrafted rookie out of Youngstown State who joins Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine as one of three running backs on the roster. While he's unlikely to get many touches Week 1 against the Raiders, if any, McLaughlin is at least worth monitoring for dynasty leagues after he scored four touchdowns during the preseason.

Shows well in Saturday's start
McLaughlin rushed 10 times for 48 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 13 yards in the Broncos' 41-0 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin was the first Broncos running back to log a touch and finished as the team leader in rushing yards.
