Audric Estime's dynasty value may be impacted by the Saints' depth chart and new signings
A fifth-round pick by the Broncos in the 2024 draft, Estime saw a fairly consistent role over the second half of his rookie season, but he didn't display much upside. Denver attempted to slip him through to the practice squad after adding J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey to the backfield last offseason, but Estime wound up trying his luck with Philadelphia instead before eventually landing in New Orleans and making his Saints debut in Week 10 as injuries hit the running back room. The Notre Dame product handled lead back duties over the final two games, turning 35 carries into 157 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding a 6-47-0 line through the air. Estime's 4.71 40-yard time at the combine puts a firm ceiling on his upside, but he looks the part of a classic power back at 5-foot-11 and 227 pounds and recorded seven broken tackles on only 46 carries in 2025. The Saints brought in Travis Etienne to be their new lead back and still have Alvin Kamara around, at least for now, but Estime could be a better fit for a short-yardage and goal-line role than the team's other depth options at RB
New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime was called into action late in the 2025 season, and he handled himself admirably, churning out top-13 fantasy finishes in Weeks 17 and 18, but after a busy Saints offseason, he's been pushed well down the depth chart toward fantasy irrelevancy. New Orleans signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $48 million deal, and with rumors of a potential Alvin Kamara trade growing quieter in recent weeks, the Saints' running back depth chart currently consists of Etienne, Kamara, Devin Neal, Kendre Miller, Ty Chandler, and Estime. While it's unlikely New Orleans carries more than four backs into the regular season, even if Estime does make the team, the traffic in front of him will make it nearly impossible to find any repeatable success. With only 508 career rushing yards and three touchdowns across his first two seasons with Denver and New Orleans, the 2024 fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame has fallen to RB106 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings and is an easy drop candidate for managers looking to free up roster space around their leagues' rookie drafts
