Week 5 vs. New York Jets
Jaleel McLaughlin saw extra work in Week 4 due to Javonte Williams' early exit due to injury, and if Williams misses Week 5 McLaughlin would make for an interesting fantasy option given what he's done with his opportunity so far. McLaughlin posted 104 total yards on seven carries and three receptions last week, displaying great efficiency as a runner and pass catcher. McLaughlin's fantasy situation obviously hinges in large part on Williams' health (Williams returned to a limited practice on Thursday), but whoever starts for Denver on Sunday will have to deal with a difficult Jets defense that boasts a strong front seven. If you picked McLaughlin up off waivers this week, make sure to monitor the practice reports in Denver this week. Should Williams miss this week, McLaughlin projects for enough volume to at least get on the flex radar in fantasy.
