Audric Estime
RB - Denver Broncos
Availability
Audric Estime ran for 16 yards on six carries in the Broncos 38-6 win over the Falcons. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for nine yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
After Estime led the backfield last week, Javonte Williams returned to his lead role on Sunday. It remains a messy situation with Jaleel McLaughlin also involved.
Broncos coach Sean Payton said Audric Estime will "continue to get more reps."
Fantasy Impact
Payton said he was encouraged with Estime's play against the Chiefs. He saw 14 carries to just three carries for Javonte Williams. It is not a guarantee yet, but it seems like Estime could remain the lead back for Denver next week.
Audric Estime could receive more work in the coming weeks, per head coach Sean Payton.
Fantasy Impact
Estime did well in his limited snaps on Sunday, taking five carries for 35 yards against the Ravens. It’s not worth rostering him now outside of deeper leagues or as a speculative add, but it is worth monitoring. Should he get a larger workload moving forward, he could enter flex play territory.
Audric Estime rushed for 35 yards on five carries in the Broncos 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Estime split time with Jaleel McLaughlin as the backup running backs to Javonte Williams. Estime is not seeing enough opportunities to be fantasy viable right now.
Audric Estime carried the ball five times for 29 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday night's 33-10 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie didn't play great on Thursday night. He was efficient on his five carries, but he also made a rookie mistake and lost a fumble at one point. He's got a ways to go before he becomes a strong contributor in Denver's offense, and Javonte Williams is pretty locked in as the RB1 on this offense for the foreseeable future.
