🫰 Oh, snaps: RB risers and fallers

Denver Broncos

📈 Audric Estime — Javonte Williams gave his fantasy managers a shot full of hope following his two-touchdown performance in Week 7. But before and since, there hasn’t been much to celebrate, especially last week when he saw one carry. Apparently, the Broncos had seen enough and turned their attention to their fifth-round rookie.

“While Audric Estime’s Week 10 production — 53 yards on 14 carries at 3.8 yards per attempt — wasn’t spectacular, he was up against a stout Chiefs run defense and showed enough promise to warrant more opportunities,” writes PFF.com’s Michelle Magdziuk. It was only one game, but it’s worth noting that Estime garnered 82% of the team’s carries, which was the highest percentage of any Broncos back this season.
