Jaleel McLaughlin at Tennessee — Depth Role Severely Caps Weekly Value
McLaughlin operates as a complementary change-of-pace option in Cleveland's backfield behind rookie Quinshon Judkins. Even with Raheim Sanders recently placed on injured reserve, McLaughlin's opportunities remain sparse. He totaled nine carries and four catches two weeks ago, but that followed a game without a single touch, demonstrating his volatile rotational role.
Facing the Titans in a contest projected to be a low-scoring defensive slugfest with a 37-point total, McLaughlin possesses minimal fantasy appeal. Our weekly projection forecasts him for roughly 2 carries and 9 rushing yards, yielding just 1.6 fantasy points. Roster rates sit near 6% with only 1% start shares, making him a clear bench stash or waiver wire candidate.

Quinshon Judkins at Tennessee — Poised to Reclaim Workload Off Injury
Judkins was completely removed from the injury report on Friday and is fully cleared to play after missing Week 6 with an ankle injury. With fellow running back Raheim Sanders currently sidelined on injured reserve, Judkins comfortably resumes his lead duties atop the Browns' backfield depth chart without significant committee threats.
Our weekly projections forecast Judkins for approximately 13.3 fantasy points on roughly 15 carries for 50 rushing yards along with three receptions. Facing a 1–5 Titans squad in a matchup where Cleveland enters as road favorites, the game script strongly favors ground volume. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him back into starting lineups across all standard leagues.
