Audric Estime is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Audric Estime as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~230 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~252
ANALYSIS: Right now, the Broncos' backfield is as crowded as they come. Perhaps this is one of the reasons we are seeing Audric Estime’s ADP around 37 during rookie drafts.
Here is the thing. No Bronco running back has separated themself from the pack. Not Javonte Williams, whose value took a drastic hit since that knee injury. Not Samaje Perine, who is excellent in pass protection and a competent receiver out of the backfield. Not even Jaleel McLaughlin, who, even with his opportunities, has left managers yearning for more.
I use the term “little ball of hate” when describing Estime. It’s a real scouting thing, trust me. The last time we saw him in-game action, he tore the Stanford Cardinals defense apart, churning out 238 yards on the ground. In that game, just like most of his college career, you weren’t going to arm tackle the 5-foot-11, 225-pound back with a throwback quality that reminds some of Jerome Bettis.
The most significant metric that stood out is that 6.4 yards per carry last season led to 1,341 yards, many of which came between the tackles, something Sean Payton surely noticed.
“Rookie Audric Estime is making the team. If he shows up and shows out, Williams’ footing becomes slippery. The room sets up as Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and the music humming w/ one chair remaining for [Javonte] Williams and [Samaje] Perine.” - @TroyRenckhttps://t.co/M7VKoWetMu
