• Broncos' Audric Estime: Week 16 Waiver Priority List

  23H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We don't know how the Broncos will use their running backs with Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) banged up heading into Thursday's game against the Chargers, so Estime could be a surprise flex option in deeper leagues. It's risky since he hasn't had double digits in touches since Week 10, but Sean Payton could opt to make this an Estime game instead of leaning on Javonte Williams.

• Broncos' Audric Estime: Six touches in win

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Estime rushed five times for 13 yards while catching his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts. Estime had another unimpressive performance Sunday, though his six total touches were his most since Week 11. As the Denver backfield continues to be a full-blown committee, the rookie running back has seen limited opportunities to make much noise on offense. Estime played just 13 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps against the Colts, behind both Javonte Williams (34) and Jaleel McLaughlin (15). For fantasy purposes, Estime, a Notre Dame product, is nothing more than a middling insurance policy in the event of injuries to either Williams or McLaughlin going forward. The Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 16.

• Broncos' Audric Estime: Three carries in Week 13

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Estime rushed three times for 12 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns. Estime played just eight of the Broncos' 66 offensive snaps, behind teammates Javonte Williams (30) and Jaleel McLaughlin (24). With head coach Sean Payton allowing for a more fluid rotation in the Denver backfield from week to week, Estime appears to be the odd man out recently, handling just 12 total carries over the past three games. With such limited usage, Estime should remain off the fantasy radar going forward barring injuries to either Williams or McLaughlin. The Broncos will host the Colts on Dec. 15 when they return from their Week 14 bye.

• Broncos' Audric Estime: Three carries in Week 12

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Estime rushed three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders. Just two weeks after seemingly taking over as the Broncos' No. 1 running back, Estime has seen his usage diminish drastically since Week 10, now operating as Denver's third option out of the backfield. The rookie played just five of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps, behind both Javonte Williams (38) and Jaleel McLaughlin (20). His eight-percent snap share Sunday was a precipitous drop from the last two contests in which Estime handled snap shares of 45 percent and 22 percent in Weeks 10 and 11, respectively. Fantasy managers hoping to have found a late-season may need to come to terms with the fact that head coach Sean Payton will use the hot-hand approach with Denver's running back committee, limiting the 21-year-old Estime's weekly upside. Though he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups, the Notre Dame product will have his next chance to get more involved in the offense when the Broncos host the Browns in Week 13.

• Broncos' Audric Estime: Platoons with Williams in Week 11

  11/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Estime rushed six times for 16 yards while catching all three of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. Estime got three fewer carries than Javonte Williams after notching 14 carries to Williams' one in Week 10 against the Chiefs. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame hadn't been targeted in any of his previous six NFL appearances, so it was encouraging to see Estime get involved in the passing game. A timeshare between Williams and Estime is likely to unfold moving forward, though Williams may still be in line for a slight edge in playing time against the Raiders in Week 12.
