Audric Estime is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense. That finally came to fruition this past Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs as Estime carried the football 14 times for 53 yards.
#broncos rookie RB Audric Estime led Denver with 14 carries vs the #chiefs and no other player had more than 3. Javonte Williams had 1 carry. It's telling Estime is going to keep getting the rock moving forward. Sean Payton liked how he ran vs KC and plans to keep increasing his…

It looks as though Estime has replaced Javonte Williams atop Denver’s depth chart. It’s not totally surprising as Williams has widely been ineffective and ranks towards the bottom of several running back metrics.
The Broncos draw a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Atlanta currently ranks 19th in defensive rushing DVOA per FTN Fantasy and allows over 129 rushing yards per game. This is a game where Estime could have more success if he’s given the necessary volume.
That kind of usage is always a bit of an unknown when it comes to Sean Payton, but conventional logic dictates that Payton will give Estime another shot against an easier opponent. The rookie is arguably the top running back on waivers this week. Gamers in need of a rusher should spend their FAAB and use their top waiver claim accordingly.
