Fantasy Football Player Notes

Devin Neal left the game versus the Panthers due to a hamstring injury. He did not play in the second half. Evan Hull led the backfield with three carries in the second half, but Audric Estime also sprinkled in one carry with three receptions. Estime ended out-touching Hull while edging him out in total snaps (36% versus 32%).

ROS schedule. Great overall, and top 10 for RBs in the playoffs: Jets/Titans Weeks 16-17.

Hence why it's important to target the right Saints RB off waivers if Neal is out (and Alvin Kamara remains sidelined).

I've been an Estime-stan since he came out of Notre Dame - and the advantage in touches/snaps has me leaning toward him as my waiver wire target. He played 45% of the third down snaps, which suggests he should remain involved in the passing game. Estime is also the more physically imposing back, measuring at 5-foot-11 and 227 pounds. Bold.
