Jaleel McLaughlin vs. Ravens — Minimal Workload in Low-Scoring Divisional Battle
McLaughlin sits deep on Cleveland's backfield depth chart, though recent backfield movement—including Raheim Sanders landing on injured reserve and starter Quinshon Judkins nursing an ankle issue—could yield occasional change-of-pace snaps. McLaughlin flashed his trademark burst on a 28-yard touchdown run earlier this month, but consistent offensive opportunities remain scarce.
Facing a stout Baltimore defense in an expected low-scoring matchup, McLaughlin holds minimal fantasy value. We project him for under two carries and roughly 14 total yards, generating just 3.5 fantasy points. Rosterable primarily as deep contingent insurance, he should remain parked on fantasy benches in virtually all leagues.

Dontayvion Wicks vs. Panthers — Quarterback Uncertainty Dents Weekly Value
Wicks is completely off the injury report after dealing with a hamstring issue and remains listed as a starting outside receiver opposite DeVonta Smith. However, the Philadelphia offense takes a significant hit with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined due to a calf injury.
While Wicks has drawn 13 targets over his last two games, an offense led by backup Tanner McKee in a projected low-scoring matchup against Carolina creates a low floor. Our models project him for about 2.4 receptions and 32 yards, leaving fantasy managers best served keeping him on the bench in standard leagues.
