Audric Estime 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Can Estime Carve Out a Role in Denver’s Offense?
Broncos running back Audric Estime did not impress during his 2024 rookie season. He only carried the football 76 times for 310 rushing yards and averaged 4.1 yards per carry. His advanced metrics also weren't great. Among 53 backs with 75+ carries, Estime finished 52nd in PFF rushing grade, 41st in PFF elusive rating, and 48th in Fantasy Points Data Suite's missed tackles forced. Denver selected rookie R.J. Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He figures to lead the backfield in touches, but head coach Sean Payton's offenses are notorious for having multiple fantasy-relevant running backs in the same season. However, Estime doesn't profile as a receiving back, and Harvey was clearly drafted to be the team's RB1. Still, there's a chance Estime could become the team's RB2. He could be a viable short-yardage/goal-line option and return some fantasy value. Overall, Estime is not a priority late-round target on draft day. He's a name to monitor over the summer to see who emerges as Denver's RB2 behind Harvey.
