Add RB Audric Estime, Denver Broncos
The Broncos rookie landed on injured reserve after a brief appearance in Week 1, and while he played only a few snaps in the past four weeks, he averaged 6.3 yards per carry. Despite the limited work, Estime had four explosive runs compared to Javonte Williams‘ eight and Jaleel McLaughlin‘s six, and the two veterans had many more opportunities.
McLaughlin started the game this week, and Javonte Williams came in for third down. The team stuck with Williams on the second drive and continued to pass the ball. On the third drive, Estime joined the rotation and ran on back-to-back plays for eight and six yards, respectively, enough for Denver to stick with him as the early-down back for the rest of the game.
