Audric Estime is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime has had a minimal role in his backfield to this point. He had a season-high in snaps and yards in Week 9, but that amounted to just 10% of snaps and 35 rushing yards on five rushes. However, there is some reason for optimism.
#Broncos HC Sean Payton on whether there’s any chance we see more of Audric Estime moving forward:
“I think that’s a good and fair question, and one that I think I would answer ‘yes.’”

While Sean Payton isn't necessarily the most trustworthy coach about player usage, the fact remains that both of the team's top-2 RBs, Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin, have been disappointments this season. Williams has just two games above 12 PPR fantasy points, and McLaughlin has just two games in the double digits.
They rank as the RB29 and RB43 in PPR despite not having their bye week yet, and both are averaging under four yards per carry. The rookie probably would have seen more work sooner were it not for injuries and a lost fumble he had in Week 7. That could be about to change. This is anyone's backfield, and he could step up and take it over if he doesn't fumble again.
