Audric Estime

Broncos HC Sean Payton said Audric Estime is expected to see an increased workload going forward.

Estime ran five times for 35 yards in the Broncos’ Week 9 loss to the Ravens. His opportunities came primarily in garbage time, but his performance was apparently enough to warrant more touches going forward. Fantasy managers should take this news with a grain of salt, as Payton has failed to deliver on promises of increased workloads for other players in the past. That said, it’s easy to see why the Broncos would give Estime a longer look, as Javonte Williams has totaled just 46 rushing yards on his last 29 carries, and is averaging a meager 3.8 YPC this season. Estime is worth a stash ahead of Week 10’s game against the Chiefs, but we wouldn’t rush to start him until we see how things play out.
