Should You Start or Sit Audric Estimé in Week 13?
In Week 10 against the Chiefs, we thought we saw a changing of the guard in Denver. In Week 11, we were less sure, but Audric Estimé did catch three passes, and that at least allowed us to retain some hope that the fifth-round rookie could carve out a niche in this creative Sean Payton offense with a breaking out Bo Nix.
Those hopes, however, were dashed against the Raiders on Sunday — three carries and zero targets. Payton pretty clearly has commitment issues when it comes to the hierarchy of his backfield (six different players had a carry), and with Nix moving the ball around (nine players saw a target in Week 12), I can’t imagine a world in which you’re feeling confident enough to plug in Estimé at any point moving forward.
There are players on your waiver wire that have more scoring equity than Estimé.
