Jaleel McLaughlin

DEN Running Back #38

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jaleel McLaughlin had seven rushes for 44 yards in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders.

McLaughlin did not catch his lone target on the day. He was easily the most effective Broncos back against the Raiders; Javonte Williams somehow had -2 yards on eight rushing attempts while Audric Estime had 15 yards on six carries. McLaughlin appeared to sustain a lower body injury in the first half so his practice status will be worth monitoring. Seeing almost no pass game usage, McLaughlin won’t be usable in fantasy formats in Week 13 against Cleveland.
Audric Estime

DEN Running Back #23

Audric Estime had three rushes for 15 yards in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders.

Estime ran well behind Javonte Williams, who had -2 yards on eight rushing attempts. Jaleel McLaughlin managed 44 yards on seven rushes in another frustrating week for anyone trying to figure out the ever-changing Denver backfield. Estime, who had six rushes in Week 11, won’t be playable in Week 13 against the Browns.
Marvin Mims Jr.

DEN Wide Receiver #19

Marvin Mims caught 4-of-5 targets for 44 yards in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders, adding two rushes for -2 yards.

Mims has seen both his route rate and target share rise over the past two weeks. Against the Raiders, the speedy Mims was the recipient of several designed bubble screens, one of which went for 37 yards against a soft Vegas coverage unit. Mims remains a big play-reliant fantasy option who isn’t seeing enough targets to be considered outside the deepest fantasy formats. Sunday was only his second game of 2024 with more than 40 receiving yards.
Devaughn Vele

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Devaughn Vele caught 6-of-9 targets for 80 yards in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders.

With 15 receptions over the past three outings, Vele has established himself as Denver’s clear No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton. No other Denver wideout had more than five targets against the Raiders. The rookie saw a handful of underneath targets and operated primarily in the middle of the field against a middling Vegas secondary. The reliable Vele has distanced himself from every other secondary and tertiary Broncos pass catcher, making him a WR3/4 option for Week 13 against the Browns.
Javonte Williams

DEN Running Back #33

Javonte Williams had eight rushes for -2 yards in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders, adding two catches for six yards.

Williams was impressively inefficient while somehow leading the Broncos in rushing attempts a week after going for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons. Jaleel McLaughlin was far more effective against Vegas, turning six carries into 44 scoreless yards. Broncos head coach Sean Payton said last week that the team would “figure out” the backfield split week by week, making Williams a dicey option in any fantasy format. He’ll take on the Browns in Week 13.
Courtland Sutton

DEN Wide Receiver #14

Courtland Sutton caught 8-of-10 targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ Week 12 win against the Raiders.

Sutton time and again won contested catches against overmatched Vegas defenders. That included a lofted touchdown from Bo Nix in the back of the end zone in the first half. He nabbed another score in the second half. Sutton now has 467 receiving yards over his past five games as Nix’s go-to guy in critical situations. Sutton, who has dominated targets and air yards in the Denver offense all season long, should be seen as a locked-in WR2 option going forward. He gets the Browns in Week 13.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Bo Nix completed 25-of-42 attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ 29-19 Week 12 win against the Raiders, adding one rush for five yards.

Nix picked apart an exploitable Raiders coverage unit from start to finish. His two touchdown tosses give Nix eight touchdowns over the past three games after running cold on touchdowns in the season’s first couple months. Nix’s rushing has continued to dry out, however, removing some of his fantasy upside. Almost half of Nix’s attempts against Vegas went to Courtland Sutton and Devaughn Vele, who combined for 177 yards and two scores on the day. Nix continues to impress on his way to a potential Rookie of the Year win. He’ll have a much tougher Week 13 matchup against a Browns defense allowing the NFL’s seventh lowest drop back success rate.
Zach Allen

DEN Defensive Lineman #94

Broncos declared DL Zach Allen, QB Zach Wilson, CB Kris Abrams-Draine, OL Nick Gargiulo, OT Frank Crum, OL Calvin Throckmorton, and TE Greg Dulcich inactive for Week 12 against the Raiders.

Denver will be without Allen, though it might not matter much against an underwhelming Vegas offensive line. Dulcich has been a healthy scratch for over a month now, leaving Nate Adkins as the nominal TE1.
Josh Reynolds

DEN Wide Receiver #11

Josh Reynolds (finger) will not play in Week 12 against the Raiders.

Reynolds was a full participant in multiple practices this week but remains on injured reserve for Week 12. He appears to be on track to be activated ahead of Week 13. Devaughn Vele will cling to WR5 fantasy value until he returns.
Zach Allen

DEN Defensive Lineman #94

Broncos EDGE Zach Allen (heel) is questionable for Week 12 against the Raiders.

Allen was added to the injury report on Friday with the heel issue after a limited practice. The former Cardinal signed a three-year deal with Denver in the offseason. He has five sacks and a dozen TFLs this year.
