RB Jaleel McLaughlin, DEN (1 Viewer)

[LawFitz]

Luv this dude's game. Not sure it will result in enough fantasy points to make me or you happy, but excited to watch him try this weekend and beyond.

He just won’t get enough touches with Williams healthy. It’s Achane touches with a third of the production.

Touches last night:

Javonte: 10
Jaleel: 9

^^^ No prediction with the above. One game. Small sample. But I will say that *IF* Jaleel McG gets ~similar # of touches as Javonte, then I very much look forward to seeing what he does with them.

Film study and vision pays off for Jaleel with great counter-cutback move last week vs. Quay Walker (#7)

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin on this 11-yard run vs. Green Bay: “I’ve been watching (Quay Walker) all week and he plays the cutback pretty well. Starting off, he beat me to the punch, so I had to make another move.”

LIkely benching him this week for Doubs, not confident in that Denver offense, especially if there are snow conditions.

He might be good in the screen game with snowy conditions

I was a bit surprised on how many touches they gave Javon. Clearly a change of pace back - they need to sit Perine and give those touches to Jaleel

jaleel seems to be the #2 now - still cant understand why they use Perine in hurry up

Hard to say who gets more run if Williams goes down. I actually think for this year Perine would get the bigger chunk. Imo

I think Perine would take pretty much all of Javonte's load.

I held Jaleel all season, but watching him try to pass block Monday night, it's just hard for me see him getting volume. It's one thing to miss assignments, but when you know where to be, and for the defender, it really doesn't matter, I'm not sure how you over come that one.

Obviously, he can have big games on limited touches though.

2 snaps last game??? Passed by Perine - shame he looked explosive.

Sean Payton has been looking for a mismatch-causing “joker” in his offense. He might have found it in Jaleel McLaughlin. “Our vision (for him) continues to grow a little bit because he continues to earn additional touches,” Payton said when I asked him about McLaughlin.

Wasn’t Dulchich the rumored joker last year?

I remember reading that too.

Supposedly. Unfortunately his hamstring ruined the punch line.

 

[massraider]

At their price, I think I want McLaughlin and Dulcich on my team this season. Shoot, and Mims.

There's a little bit of a Jaylen Warren going onto last year vibe I get from McLaughlin. Team desperate for a playmaker has one under their noses they just need to use more.

It's a generic term Payton uses to describe players that can create matchup problems. But historically it's been a dual-threat running back, so therefore McLaughlin the more likely candidate vis-a-vis Dulcich.

"The 'joker' player for us is not a receiver," Payton explained. "It's either a running back or a tight end with exceptional ball skills and then you can work matchups. We've had that at the running back position. Reggie Bush was the 'joker,' Darren Sproles and [Alvin] Kamara. Those were all unique players, not just in the running game, but they had passing game skill sets that allowed you to do multiple things, and I think Greg does, too."
