The Denver Broncos will be without running back Jaleel McLaughlin due to a quad injury for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. This absence shifts the backfield dynamics from a three-man committee to a two-man committee, which could potentially enhance the fantasy value of the remaining running backs, Javonte Williams and Audric Estime. Despite this, the Broncos' backfield is still considered a risky option for fantasy lineups, although Williams is ranked among the top 35 running backs for Week 16.
