BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime appears to have solidified himself as the RB1 for the Broncos. Denver's coaching staff has seen enough of RBs Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin, neither of who have been efficient, to give the rookie a chance to be the guy in this backfield.
All-22 Audric Estime's 14 carries against the Kansas City Chiefs.

He had 14 carries for 53 yards in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and you can watch tape of all of them in the above video. He looks better than both of his backfield mates, and impressed against arguably the toughest run defense in the NFL this season. There won't be much threat to his starting job from now on.
He was put in the doghouse for a few games due to fumbling issues, but hopefully he's put those behind him now. He's a powerful downhill runner, and should be a solid chain-mover for head coach Sean Payton's offense. He may not have much pass-catching upside, though, but we'll need to see more games from him to see if he gets a receiving role.
