Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime had 12 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 5.
Huddle Up: The rookie topped 50 yards in a game just once all year and is a complete nonfactor in the passing game. When he scores, like he did in two of the final three games, he can fill a flex slot. That's a tough sell in Buffalo next Sunday, though, so DFS owners should seek better options elsewhere.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime ran nine times for 24 yards at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 on Saturday, Dec. 28. He caught his lone target for a 13-yard gain.
Huddle Up: The fluctuation in backfield work can be frustrating, but Estime has been a tough-yardage option in recent games in which Jaleel McLaughlin led the way in touches. Estime offers nothing as a receiver, and he's useful only with a TD plunge, so that's the goal if you're feeling like gambling on him next week vs. a presumably resting Kansas City defense.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime had nine carries for 48 yards and a touchdown during the team's Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Huddle Up: Five players ran the ball for Denver on Thursday night with Estime topping the team in both carries (9) and rush yards (48) while scoring his first NFL touchdown. It was solid production given limited touches, but the full blown committee approach makes it tough to rely on anyone in the Broncos backfield right now -- bear in mind, Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) didn't play, so if he returns in Week 17 the situation gets even muddier. While the rookie offers a little upside, you'd be taking a real gamble slotting him into your lineup versus the Bengals.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime ran five times for 13 yards in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts, while adding a 5-yard catch on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Estime could see a little more work in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers if Jaleel McLaughlin is forced to miss time due to a quadriceps injury. The rookie Estime and Javonte Williams could see more carries if McLaughlin is sidelined.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime rushed three times for 12 yards in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: The rookie Estime appeared to be in line for a larger role after a solid showing in Week 10 in Kansas City, but his touches have decreased in each of the past three games. If you're in a deeper fantasy league, it's OK to keep Estime rostered if you can afford the spot. But, with the Broncos on a bye in Week 14, if you need someone immediately, don't be afraid to cut bait.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime rushed three times for 15 yards in a 29-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.
Huddle Up: After logging 14 carries against the Chiefs, Estime has just nine carries for 31 yards combined over the past two games. It doesn't appear Estime will be taking over the Denver backfield, making him no more than a stash candidate at this point.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime rushed six times for 16 yards in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding three receptions for nine yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: The 21-year-old had 14 carries last week, averaging 3.8 yards per carry, and head coach Sean Payton said the rookie earned more playing time. Well, he did, and he didn't. Estime had his second-most touches of the season, but his 2.7 yards per carry were the most of any game this season. Pump the brakes on his rising fantasy appeal, as Javonte Williams averaged 6.6 yards per carry with a touchdown to likely reclaim the top spot heading into Las Vegas in Week 12.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime ran well during the Week 10 game and will continue to see receive touches during games, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Huddle Up: Estime rushed for a season-high 53 yards in the last game and will continue to have a role in the running game. He is a risky option because it is not known how many carries he will receive but could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he continues to receives a majority of work at running back.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime rushed for 53 yards on 14 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Estime received a season-high 14 carries this week and was the main running back for the Broncos this week. It is not known if he will be the main running back moving forward but can be at least a flex option if he does receive a majority of the carries.

Denver Broncos RB Audric Estime is expected to get a bigger workload down the stretch of the season, head coach Sean Payton said Monday, Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: The rookie out of Notre Dame has had a quiet start to his career. Javonte Williams is the main running back, but he has just two performances inside the top 24 this season. With Williams set to hit free agency next offseason, Estime could become a nice stash if the Broncos want to see what they have in the rookie down the stretch.
