Should You Start or Sit Jaleel McLaughlin in Week 15?
McLaughlin is a part of this Denver backfield mess, which means you’re stuck in this weird holding pattern where you can’t play or cut any of them.
If I had to pick one to speculate on this week, McLaughlin would be my option. I like what he has shown in space, and with the Colts ranking as the fifth-best defense at creating pressure when blitzing, I could see a few designed screens and dumpoffs result in chunk gains.
You’re holding all exposure to this backfield and simply hoping that someone runs away with the lead role by the end of Week 15.
