Jaleel McLaughlin fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 7 (2024). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Jaleel McLaughlin for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB50
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular sleeper candidate heading into the 2024 NFL season. Unfortunately, the Broncos’ backfield has been a nightmare for fantasy players.
McLaughlin is the RB50 for the year, averaging 5.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has 36 rushing attempts for 116 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The second-year pro also has a role in the passing game, totaling 12 receptions for 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, McLaughlin hasn’t been good enough to start for fantasy players. He has scored fewer than 5.2 fantasy points in the four games without a touchdown this season. Yet, the second-year running back scored only 7.9 and 10 fantasy points in the two games where he found the end zone.
Last week, the New Orleans Saints gave up 217 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 50.2 fantasy points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield minus Rachaad White. While the matchup seems appealing, fantasy players should avoid starting McLaughlin this week.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
