The Packers’ pass catchers situation has the potential to be ambiguous, with lots of parity: Christian Watson, Luke Musgrave, Aaron Jones, Jayden Reed and others. Should Williams miss any time, Rivers could be a solid option in the Rams’ running back-friendly offense. I like Brown in deep and dynasty leagues. Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans have had their chances. Brown, a 2023 fifth-round pick, profiles as an explosive back with solid vision, capable of providing fantasy value on limited touches. However, Joe Mixon doesn’t have the cleanest bill of health through his six NFL seasons, and if he were to miss any games, I’d expect Brown to be the benefactor. This is a super deep pull, so don’t go spending any FAAB dollars here in your 10 or 12-team leagues. You’d have to be desperate to start him right now, but Singletary is in handcuff-plus territory. He’s getting quite a bit of work on passing downs, too. Singletary isn’t the most tantalizingly talented running back in the world, but he’s involved in an offense that’s looking increasingly more competent with C.J. He’s involved early and in many passing situations, making him at least a must-add for anyone who rosters Henry.

Spears is involved in the Titans’ offense in a larger capacity than simply Derrick Henry‘s handcuff. If you roster Etienne, you should also roster Bigsby. However, he’s Travis Etienne‘s handcuff, meaning, should Etienne miss any games for any reason, Bigsby becomes start-worthy in fantasy. Tank Bigsby (RB – JAX)īigsby isn’t startable right now unless rolling a dice and praying for a touchdown gets you going. He’s worth a pickup, given Javonte Williams‘ injury, but should only be in starter consideration (for now) if Williams misses games. He touched the ball 10 times, netting 104 yards and a touchdown. The 5’7, 183-pound back out of Youngstown State via Notre Dame College looked explosive today. If you’ve never heard of McLaughlin before today, welcome to the club.

I’m going to swallow my pride here and admit I had to fire up the old Google machine for this one. Running Backs Jaleel McLaughlin (RB – DEN)
