Audric Estime Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 11th 2024, 8:34pm EST

In the rushing attack, Audric Estimé led the team with 14 carries for 53 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry with a long run of 10 yards. Marvin Mims Jr. added 17 yards on three carries, while Jaleel McLaughlin contributed 12 yards on two attempts, averaging 6 yards per carry. Mims seemed noticeably more involved with seven touches across the board and a red-zone reception. A lot of schemed touches for the second-year WR. He was the first Broncos player to have multiple carries. Also targeted on 57% of his routes.
McLaughlin started, but Estime led the backfield with four carries in the first half. The rookie also had another 17-yard gain wiped out on a penalty. The Notre Dame product had two red zone rushing attempts to Javonte Williams' one.
Javonte Williams ran a route on 26% of dropbacks but finished with just three touches. After an up-and-down season, the clock has struck midnight on Williams. It's over folks.
• Audric Estimé: 26 snaps, 45% snap share
• Javonte Williams: 17 snaps, 29% snap share
• Michael Burton: 10 snaps, 17% snap share
• Jaleel McLaughlin: 7 snaps, 12% snap share
McLaughlin ran a route on just 6% of dropbacks. As of right now, McLaughlin is a clear drop, with Williams' taking over the pass-catching role "full-time." IN shallower formats, both Williams/McLaughlin can be cut.
Because it's FINALLY time for Estime. We have had signals that this change was coming, but finally we saw it happen in real time. Hopefully you were able to stash Estime ahead of the move, but if not he becomes the top waiver target this week.
That being said, per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool, the Broncos have a bottom-five schedule for fantasy RBs for the rest of the season.
