Quick Facts
- Position: RB (Change-of-pace back)
- Team: CLE (Cleveland Browns)
2026 Outlook
Former Denver Bronco who found his way to the Cleveland Browns depth chart as a change-of-pace running back. McLaughlin stepped into a significant role in Week 6 against Baltimore when top back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was inactive and both Raheim Sanders (hip) and Dylan Sampson (knee) were on injured reserve. In that game, he logged 9 rushes for 41 yards and caught all 4 targets for 14 yards, demonstrating a pristine catch rate despite limited rushing opportunities. His speed affords him some fantasy upside in change-of-pace and receiving roles, though his roster spot depends on the health of higher-priority backs (per Browns' Jaleel McLaughlin: Solid yardage with 13 touches).
