News: 5 days agoEstime rushed six times for 16 yards while catching all three of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Spin: Estime got three fewer carries than Javonte Williams after notching 14 carries to Williams' one in Week 10 against the Chiefs. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame hadn't been targeted in any of his previous six NFL appearances, so it was encouraging to see Estime get involved in the passing game. A timeshare between Williams and Estime is likely to unfold moving forward, though Williams may still be in line for a slight edge in playing time against the Raiders in Week 12.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: At 5-foot-11 and 227 pounds, Estim� brings a promising power package to the Broncos, who drafted him in the fifth round. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry and scored 29 touchdowns the past two seasons at Notre Dame, serving as the early-down back in 2023 and goal-line back in each of the past two seasons. Estim�'s draft stock suffered after his position-worst 40 time at the combine (4.71 seconds), but the Broncos were nevertheless pleased to add him as backfield depth and, perhaps, a situational short-yardage threat. He'd need an injury to one of the backs ahead of him on the depth chart to be fantasy-relevant in 2024, but is a prospect worth watching for in-season utility or dynasty/keeper purposes.
