Broncos say RB Audric Estime could get more work

Nov 04, 2024

Broncos coach Sean Payton said he expects to use RB Audric Estime more down the stretch.

Related players: Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

After his big performance a couple of weeks ago, Williams hasn't really been able to produce consistent results. Now the Broncos are saying Estime could see more work. It seems like the Broncos are looking for hot hand at RB, it's just that no one is really stepping up. It looked like Williams was going to be that guy but he struggled in Week 9 with 42 yards on 12 carries. Williams did get 42 yards on two catches as well. Estime will still be a risky fantasy play until we see more consistent work, however.

Saints WR Chris Olave was carted off the field Sunday against the Panthers and was later ruled out with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Olave took a hard hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods and it wasn't long before he was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Woods was flagged for unnecessary roughness as a result of the play. Olave was taken to a local hospital but the good news is he has movement in all of his extremities.

Ezekiel Elliott (disciplinary reasons) to be inactive vs. Falcons

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott will not even travel with the team to Atlanta. The Cowboys elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to help fill out the depth chart. With Elliott out, Rico Dowdle is in line for an increase in work, though it is a tough matchup against one of the better run defenses in the league this season in Atlanta. Dowdle is an RB3/Flex while Cook is a deeper-league option and maybe a bit of a desperation play.

Drake Maye clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

Patriots QB Drake Maye cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Maye suffered the concussion last week against the Jets on a hit by linebacker Jamien Sherwood that landed the defender a fine. The Titans usually sport one of the better defenses but cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will not play. Still, given the worries about the offense, Maye ranks outside our top 25 quarterbacks this week.
