Should You Start or Sit Audric Estimé in Week 16?
If you have a di, assign two numbers to each of Denver’s three running backs and have a roll.
That’s not my exact process, but it would give you about as good a shot as any.
Denver Broncos rushing production, Week 15 vs. Colts:
- Bo Nix: Eight carries for 23 yards (long: 16 yards)
- Jaleel McLaughlin: Seven carries for 21 yards (long: 12 yards)
- Javonte Willams: Six carries for 15 yards (long: four yards)
- Estimé: Five carries for 13 yards (long: six)
- Marvin Mims Jr.: One carry for zero yards
Audric Estimé has looked good in spurts during his rookie season, but without much of a path to double-digit touches, he ranks the lowest of this tightly bunched backfield for me this week.
