With the absence of starting right tackle Mike McGlinchey, it's imperative for Payton to creatively integrate McLaughlin into the game plan to maximize his impact on the field.

Jaleel McLaughlin has been a disappointment so far this season, ranking as the RB63 and averaging only two half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Despite being a popular sleeper candidate heading into the season due to flashes of potential as a rookie, he struggled in his first two games with minimal production. His average of 2.5 yards per rushing attempt is just slightly better than the struggling Javonte Williams, who averages 2.1. McLaughlin's performance has been hampered by tough matchups against strong run defenses, but there is hope that he can improve in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, especially if key defensive player Vita Vea is sidelined. He's worth considering for deeper leagues as the Broncos seek to regain effectiveness in their rushing attack.
